SOURCE: Pitco 35C+ fryer. Pilot lights fine; main burner

Its a simple design. If the thermophile does the work of powering the fryer control. Do you have a good pilot flame? If the pilot flame ain't good enough then the millivolts won't be enough to operate the solenoid on the gas valve. Most folks replace both the pilot and thermophile on these fryers since the grease makes such a mess of everything. If the pilot generator is fine then the gas valve is next.

SOURCE: Hi, i am having a problem with a deep fryer. Pitco

Make sure that the gas pressure is standard (as rated on nameplate), thermopile must be clean (no dirt or soot) and the thermostat is good.

SOURCE: pitco deep fryer flames coming out the fryer

Hi there.
The soot or carbon have probably build up inside the fire tubes, better check and have an authorized service technician clean them.
Make sure that the fryer is receiving the rated gas pressure and correct gas type as stated on the nameplate, this way, carbon or soot formation on fire tubes can be prevented
Regards.

How can you tell if the pitco fryer safety switch is bad
The safety switch is operated by extremely high temperatures. If the safety switch is bad, it will not shut off at extremely high temperatures.

45C- Flame and pilot went out during operation, Pilot won't relight.
If your pilot is a manual ignition model, make sure that the thermopile is clean (free of soot), it is the cylindrical piece of metal behind the pilot assembly which is heated by the pilot flame, a very small amount of voltage is generated by it to open pilot and main burner valves of gas valve.

Pilot lights but ignitor still igniting and burners will not light.
check if pilot flame reaches the ignitor tip, if it does, check the connection of or replace the ignitor cable.if it does not, adjust he ignitor so that pilot flame will have good contact with the ignitor.

Hello , I have 2 pitco fryers that are about 1 yr old .... models 35 C + S these are gas fryers the pilot light and gas seems to be fine but when the cooks go to fire up the grease to cook the pilot...
Your gas pressure may be too low causing pilot flame to shut when burners ignite.

I have a 40c+ss pitco fryer.the pilot will go out at random times.Could be 1hr or 24 hrs after it is lit. The gas valve has been change, and the thermalpile has been replaced.
Check if your pilot flame sufficiently heats thermopile during operation and make sure also that it is free of soot or any form of dirt, thermopile generates small amount of electricity to energize pilot and main valve of the gas valve for pilot and main burner operation. This electricity passes through hi limit mechanical contacts. Hi limit on fryers act as safety device which will shut down pilot and burner flame when oil temperature reaches 450F.
If your fryer is set at 350F and over shoots up to 450F (which will trip hi limit and shut down pilot and burner flame), the thermostat is not good, but, if hi limit trips on temperature much lower than 450F, hi limit is bad.

Pitco Frialator SF14 pilot will light and the burners will light but within an hour it completely shuts off (pilot and burners). The high limit and thermostat have been changed 1 month ago.
Check the hi limit sensing bulb, it should not touch the fire tube, when it does, it will sense high temperature which will trip its mechanical contacts and will shut pilot and burner flames.
Make also sure that the thermopile is free of soot or any form of dirt and is properly heated by the pilot flame.

Pitco Fryer will not light up
Check the thermopile, it must be free of dirt or soot so that it can absorb enough heat from pilot flame and in turn can generate the right amount of voltage to energize pilot and burner coils.
Check also the gas pressure, it should be of standard as required on the unit's nameplate.

Pitco frialator (propane)
Better check the incoming gas pressure first, it should match the requirement as stated on the nameplate. Low gas pressure will make the pilot flame small until it could not heat up the thermopile which will shut both main burner and pilot flame.
