When trouble light comes on, it indicates that the hi-limit is tripped (this happens when oil temperature exceeds 450 Fahrenheit). The red button is located at the upper back panel of the unit, give it a push to reset but if nothing happens after resetting the button, the hi-limit needs to be replaced. Also try to check if the thermostat is working, stuck thermostat's mechanical contact will cause the hi-limit to trip.

This is normal, and common to heating appliances. The metal needs to be cured as you would a cast iron fry pan. I brushed it with a little oil and turned it on without filling it. Once it heated up fully, I turned it off, let it cool and wiped it out with a paper towel.

Hi there, It is not economical nor even possible to convert electric fryer to gas fryer since the tank construction and parts are very different.

Any competent service technician could cobble something like this together, but I'd challenge the insurance company, as this fryer is UL approved. Such a modification would be expensive and void the warranty and NSF and UL approveals.

Hi there! If hi limit wont reset when button is pushed, there might be a mechanical problem inside the part which prevents t from resetting, you have to replace the part.Visit www.middleby.com and select wells to find the nearest authorized parts dealer near your area.Regards.

check your program for the basket lift, also check the mechanisms.

Hi,
Running the fryer with no oil will over heat the coil very quickly...this caused the element to burn out...

That element will be replaceable...

If you call these guys you should be able to purchase a new element from them...
