Star fryer 301hld has no power why - Star Kitchen Appliances - Others

Has to be a stuck thermostat or a bent or broken bulb, tube in the fryer oil. When replacing the control be careful not to bend the tube to much to pinch it closed. This is a very small pipe. Check by turning the thermostat from low to high and see if it will turn off the fryer. It could be out of calibration but unlikly when the high limit kicks off.

You burnt the wire , check continuity with voltmetre . Replace burnt wire and or fuse .

Hi there. Visit www.starwebconnect.com/Manuals.aspx then click the fryer tab wherein yo will find the wiring diagram you need.
Regards.

Disconnect first the unit from power source, Locate the terminals of the hi limit and thermostat then remove either one of the wire connected to it. Using an ohm meter, check for the continuity across the terminals. If the hi limit has continuity across its terminals, it is good. Thermostat will have continuity across its terminals when set to a higher temperature, you will also hear a clicking sound when its mechanical contacts engage.

Model 301hld ... this is a 208-240 VAC unit

Rated wattage
208V = 4130W
240V = 5500W

Nominal Amps
208V = 19.9A
240V = 22.9A

NEMA Plug = 6-30P

Yes,it could be a bad thermostat.
It could also be a bad off/on switch.
Half the power comes through the off/on switch.

Hope this helps, please rate me!

This button should be a high limit switch. If it is a small red button mounted to a 2" x 2" or so device. You most likley have an issue with the thermostat letting it over heat. The best thing to do would be to replace both the thermostat and the high limit for safety reasons.

You should determine how many amps the unit is pulling, you will need an ammeter to do this. Continuity through the internal circuit breaker does not determine the current being pulled by fryer only that it can pull current. If the fryer is pulling more than 50 amps the problem will be in the fryer, if it is less than 50 and the breaker trips you could have a faulty breaker.
