my friend it looks as if you have a leaking frypot. Do not use this fryer untill the frypot is replaced it is dangerous to use in this condition.

check burners and chambers for soot build up. Check gas regulator valve

Hi there.
You should inspect the fire tubes, it is a tunnel under the fry tank where the burner flames suppose to travel to heat up the oil. Your fire tubes may be clogged with soot or carbon that's why flames cannot go thru the fire tubes. Fire tubes must be free of soot or carbon deposits.
Soot build up on fire tubes can be prevented by keeping the gas pressure at standard as much as possible, low gas pressure produce yellow flame or poor flame quality and in turn will produce soot.
Also, make sure that no air or ventilation is directed towards the flue riser, otherwise, the same will result, flames rolling back towards the door.
Regards.

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

Hi Dan.
Check if the fire tubes are clean, exhust system must be operating well during fryer operation. There should be no fresh air directed at the flue stack of the fryer, only exhaust.
Regards.
