How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.
- Improve ventilation: Move the fryer away from walls and ensure vents are clear.
- Clean interior: Remove grease buildup around the heater and fan to improve airflow.
- Check power connections: Inspect mains and internal connectors for looseness. Reseat and secure as needed.
- Test thermal devices: Check continuity of thermal fuses and thermostats when cool. Replace any that show high resistance or intermittent behavior.
- Board replacement: If all hardware checks out but random shutdowns persist, the control PCB may be failing and should be replaced.
