- same as everybody else stop working the second time i used it as i was frying chichen trouble shooting said there was a reset button but there is none so called the company and they are sending me a new model just like that no reciept or anything they said they haven't had problems with them yea right this is the 3rd one that i returned to target and the same thing happened - GuestApr 16, 2009
- i was in the middle of making chicken wings. First the timer stopped working, then the power light shut off and the deep fryer stopped working. I also switched outlets and took the plug in and out and added more oil. Hasnt worked since- ssroselMar 28, 2009
- Had the same problem, bought the unit 3 weeks ago and it stopped working. I called the number given in this blog and they are sending me a new one!! Thanks for the help.- GuestFeb 19, 2009
- Like coldfries, I just got off the phone with Rival Customer Support. They asked for a number off the plug side of the power cord. The numbers I gave them I guess didn't match what they said they should be but in any case they are sending me a new unit. The number is: (800) 323-9519.- gmlehmann66Feb 14, 2009
- Just got off the phone with Rival - gave the rep the number off the cord, and she is sending me a brand new unit - they are paying for the shipping. Will let you know if the next unit has problems. The rep was great on the phone and it sounds like they have a bad batch of fryers out there. Make sure you call them at 1-800-323-951. - coldfriesBest Solution

Ours did the same thing. We've only used it 4 or 5 times. It just stopped working leaving us with a pile of raw chicken! We took ours back to the store where we bought it and they gave us a refund w/o any problems.

the CZF 530 deep fryers need to be on a recall !! I bought mine My 2008, it quit working yesterday... Won't heat -- I believe the heating element exposed in the cooking oil probably has something to do with the problem as I see everyone else is experiencing the same thing going wrong with them...

the funny thing is, to send the product back to rival u have to pay for shipping both ways, which comes out to about almost 50% of the purchase price. never ever buying a rival product again.

Rival seems to making things up- On page 11 of the CZF530 owner's guide it says " Unplug unit and allow to cool. Then PRESS THE RESET BUTTON ON THE BACK OF THE CONTROL PANEL." Those of us who received this as a gift..and have no receipt, what are we supposed to do?? I thought Rival stood behind their products. I will never buy a Rival product again, and will tell everyone I know who is looking for small appliances, to stay away from this brand. Thanks for trying Bakerman72, for your time emailing them with our problem and all!

I have checked the unit,czf 530 and do have power to the front panel, opening the panel, the power goes to the center tube heater and no where elense, without a diagram i'm lost. my dad purchased this unit about six months ago, and has never worked. he is eighty eight years still likes to piddle in the kitchen. this should be as a warning "buyer be-ware." American product made by those who never expected it to work in the first place, some pride in quality controll. charlie

I have the same problem does anybody know the number to Rival/Thanks
Comment by Guest, posted on Jan 09, 2009
Used it 4 times. Made awesome french fries! The next time I plugged it in, no power light. Nothing. Checked everything for possible reason for this. Then tried to find the "reset button" referred to in the owner's manual, which does not exist. So I called Rival, and they're sending me a replacement. Hope this one doesn't quit on me.

I used mine once not even to cook anything just to melt shortening to see if I had enough (which ive used in previous deep fryers instead of oil) I turned it off and went to the store to get more crisco and sure enough, won't turn back on. I also got it as a gift so I'm sure im SOL.

The first one I bought lasted 3 1/2 uses. So I took it back to Target to get another.
The 2nd unit lasted 1/2 a use!!!!! Like everyone else here, I studied the back looking for this alleged reset switch.
Tomorrow I'm calling Target to complain and say they need to do something about carrying a product that sucks so badly.

this thing is ****
Comment by Tyler DuLac, posted on Oct 12, 2008
Yep. Same thing here. Boys were making fries, control went dark, they switched outlets thinking they tripped breakers, no success, couldn't locate the mystery reset called out in the manual either.
Comment by dalena1, posted on Sep 26, 2008

I seem to have the same problem with my frier stopped heating, its only 3 months old, should i take a chance with another one
Comment by Bakerman72, posted on Jun 17, 2008
Stopped cooking in the middle of frying,was on a long time but the thermometer should have regulated temp. I too have looked for the mysterious reset switch .Are these people just making this up.I tested voltage all the way to the control panel ,so the problem is definitely in the circuitry or in the NON-EXISTING overheating reset switch.

I have the same problem, it quit in the middle of frying, and the manuel says to press the reset button, which does not exist? Was there a recall on this piece of ****???
