Hi there.
Check the gas pressure, it must be standard as required on unit,s nameplate, low gas pressure can cause this problem.
Check and clean also the burners as needed.
Regards.
If you manually reset by pressing overtemp thermostat, then check your operating thermostat.. maybe over heating.. if so replace thermostat.. if pilot cuts out completely prematurely without reaching set temp then replace overtemp cut out thermostat as it is faulty. Cheers
Hi there. Your fryer may have problem in cutting off the heating element power (electric fryer) or burner flame (gas fryer) for temperature regulation which is thermostat's main function.Thermostat is replaceable, you have to identify the manufacturer of your fryer to get the exact component. Regards.
Hi there. You may need to calibrate the new thermostat and in doing so, you will need a calibrated thermometer with sensor dipped in oil at about one (1) inch above the fryer thermostat sensing bulb. Record the cut-off temp (when indicator light goes off) and compare it with the thermostat setting. The thermostat has a calibration screw ( - ) recessed in the middle of the shaft, you will see the when you pull off the thermostat knob. this calibration screw can be turned by a precision screw driver, turn clockwise to decrease the cut-off temperature ; turn counterclockwise to increase the cut-off temperature. Just make sure that the unit is preheated or have cycled at least 5 to 8 times and the oil is new before performing the calibration. Regards.
The pilot light should remain "ON" all the time. It is not intended to ever go off, unless you are not going to use the fryer for several months at a time. Then you can just shut off the propane which will shut off the pilot light flame. It does not cost that much to run the pilot light all the time. About one to two dollars a week.
first check fuse in the plug,,,if good, check that the plug is working and has power to it,,if all ok so far then you need to check the power on switch in the cooker and the thermal cut outs,, if the fryer has over heated the thermal cut out would have blowen or the heater has blowen
