sticky thermostat ,...replace it

Yes that sounds exactly like a tstat.Be careful Look up on the internet for a fryer fire scary stuff get this repaired.

I NEED PART NUMBER FOR A FLAVOR CRIPS FRYER DSS-R

Most likely solution is to replace the reset. If the new reset trips, check the amperage on the elements. At 208V all three phases should be around 47A, 480V around 20A each. Check all wiring connectors for good connections and no evidence of corrosion or overheating.

You can download operation, parts & programming guides from hobarts website. You will need a model# serial # and the ML# from the unit. www.hobart.com

Goto hobartcorp.com,type in your model and you will be able to download a user manual.

The element will show infinite resistence if defective. Overload switch.....Do you mean High Limit T/Stat? Use your ohm meter across terminals- should read closed circuit...0 ohms. If not, push red reset button...if clicks once, is now reset and contactors will close and unit will heat. If always clicks, replace limit t/stat Like wise, check themostat--should click once for heat demand and check cicuit same as limit t/stat. May have wire burned off terminal connector at element.

The thermostat is acting up,The t-stat controls the heat,did you replace the pilot valve or gas valve?If there is 1 valve make sure the wires are in the correct terminals.

Hobart has these available on line. It may take a little searching and a while to download but follow this link and the manuals are there. Please rate this solution as solved. If you need any more help make a note on here and I will work with you.
Thanks,
