Question about Pitco Frialator SG18S Deep Fryer

3 Answers

Pitco Fryer Problem is pilot outage. Already have replaced high limit switch, Thermopile, and pilot assembly. Pilot seems to be going out when t-stat is satisfied and burners are shutting off, seems to be a more than normal popping sound when burners are shutting off. Magnet on valve does not seem to be weak, when lighting pilot , magnet holds after about 10 seconds. I've also tried adjusting the air shutters and it doesn't seem to make any difference.This is an LP gas system and I don't believe it's a pressure issue as all other appliances are fine.

    fryer gets to temp and shuts off burner but also extinguishes pilot flame

    I have a Pitco Frialator Mdl 35C+S. I,ve replaced the thermostst and thermopile ,but now the pilot will not light. Need help ASAP. Thanks.The reason that I replaced the two parts was that , when I turned the fryer off, gas would escape through the orifices and never cut off.

    I have replaced the Thermopile. Thought the problem was solved now the problem is that the fryer does not come up to the 350 degree temp and when it shuts off the pilot still goes out.

Sounds like the burners are dirty remove burners and run under cold water and replace propane gas burns dirty and might have blocked up burners creating a pop at the burners this will then blow out pilot light if this does not work give me a shout

There are several possible causes of this problem, aside from a loose or damaged wire, which is uncommon. The cause in about 95% of the cases is a thermopile that has gone bad. The thermopile is the small cylinder that is attached to the pilot assembly where part of the pilot flame can contact it. It has a cable or wire going to the gas valve, high limit switch, or both. When hot enough, it produces and electrical current that keep the pilot on and allows the main gas valve to open. This is not hard to replace in most gas fryers and not too expensive. This often starts as an intermittent problem. The second possible cause is a defective high limit. The high limit is a small rectangular device with wires going to the gas valve and a tiny stainless tube that goes through the bottom of the kettle to a sensor bulb, like the thermostat has. These are usually self resetting, but may have a small red reset button. If present check the reset. If no reset, jump the two wires and see if the fryer will now light. If so, the high limit is defective, assuming the fryer is not over temperature. If defective, replace. Do not operate the fryer in this condition as there is no over temperature protection. The next cause is if the oil is too hot, in which case the high limit will shut off both the main burner and the pilot. The pilot cannot be relit until the fryer cools down and the high limit resets. If the oil is too hot, usually over 425F, replace the thermostat. If the high limit trips when the oil is in the normal operating range, replace the high limit. The final cause is a bad gas valve. This is not too common, but the gas valve is expensive and a bit difficult to replace. Check all of the other causes first.

Pilot light will not stay lit once pilot button is not depressed. Replaced thermopile already. Any suggestions? Also don't have milivolt detector. Thanks
Hi there.
Check the wiring, loose wiring terminals can disrupt the current going to gas valve.
Try also to connect jumper wire across the hi limit terminals, if this do the trick, replace the hi limit device before operating the fryer.
Lastly, the gas valve may be defective.
Regards.

13 year old pitco frialator fryer pilot wont stay on. changed gas valve and thermopile.... pilot light wont stay lite
Hi there.
Check and tighten all wiring connections.
Check the hi limit for continuity across the terminals using an ohm meter, if it has no continuity, you have to replace the hi limit.

Check and clean the thermopile, it is the cylindrical piece of metal standing behind the pilot assembly.Try also to tighten its wiring connections to the gas valve and high limit.If it does not correct the problem, replace the thermopile.

My fryer model SRTG LIGHT THE PILOT BUT WON'T LIGHT THE MAIN BURNER
check if the thermopile (cylindrical metal standing behind pilot assembly) receives enough heat from pilot flame. if it does, you need to replace the thermopile.

Pitco old gas fryer pilot light outage, change the themocouple,still won't work
Check and tighten all wiring connections. check if your thermopile receives enough heat from the pilot flame. Once the pilot is lit, the hi limit device will be the only one capable of shutting it down during operation (once the oil temperature reaches 450F) provided the gas supply is sufficient.

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.

Fryer comes on gets to temperature, then after a varied amount of time depending on use will power down, and will not come back on to maintain temperature, or will occasionally come on, but not to desired ...
Hi there.
Thermopile must be free of soot or any form of dirt so that it coud absorb the right intensity of heat from the pilot flame for millivolt generation used in energizing the pilot and main valve electrical coils for pilot and burner operation. Pilot flame must be stable during fryer operation as well as the gas pressure being supplied to the unit.
All wiring connection must be tight, a very small amount of voltage generated by the thermopile or millivolts will not pass thru loosely connected wires.

Have you tried adjusting pilot light or recalibrating your thermostat? it sounds similar to the problem i just had, but replacing the thermopile worked for me, but i also replaced my thermostat and high limit switch prior to the thermopile.I also made sure all my connections were cleaned. i'm not an expert by the way just someone who went through the same problem.

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.
