How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool fully before restarting. Frequent thermal trips indicate a serious issue.
- Improve ventilation: Move the fryer to an open area with good airflow. Do not operate under cabinets or near walls.
- Clean vents and interior: Remove dust and grease from vents, fan, and heater area.
- Check fan operation: Ensure the fan runs continuously during cooking. If it stops intermittently, replace the fan motor.
- Thermostat replacement: If the unit trips even under normal conditions with good airflow, the auto-reset thermostat may be overly sensitive and should be replaced.
