TROUBLESHOOTING

A. PROBLEM: FRYER WILL NOT HEAT

1. If: POWER LIGHT (item 2 ) NOT ON. Check the SERVICE POWER BREAKER. Reset if

TRIPPED. If breaker continues to trip, contact a licensed electrician to repair field wiring (if

that is the cause), or contact a Wells Mfg. Authorized Service Agency for repairs.

2. If: POWER LIGHT (item 2 ) NOT ON. Check the HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT (item 7). Reset

by pressing the HI LIMIT RESET button on the LOWER CONTROL PANEL until it “clicks” .

3. If: POWER LIGHT (item 2 ) ON / HEAT LIGHT (item 3) NOTON. Check setting of

TEMPERATURE CONTROL THERMOSTAT (item 8). If turning the thermostat fully clockwise

(i.e. to a higher temperature )does not turn the HEAT LIGHT ON, and also cause the oil to

heat, or if the CONTROL THERMOSTAT calibration is significantly incorrect, contact a Wells

Mfg. Authorized Service Agency for repairs.

4. If: POWER LIGHT (item 2 )ON / HEAT LIGHT (item 3) ON. Probable cause is a damaged

internal component. Contact a Wells Mfg. Authorized Service Agency for repairs.

B. PROBLEM: FRYER HEATS BUT WILL NOT BUILD PRESSURE or

FRYER WILL NOT MAINTAIN PRESSURE:

1. Your Wells Pressure Fryer builds pressure as the water content of the product being cooked is

turned to steam. Small quantities of product being cooked, or product with minimal water

content may not contain enough water to build full pressure.

2. Be sure to turn the CONTROL HANDLE (item 14) and COOK LEVER (item 13) both fully

counter-clockwise. Observe as the lid lowers into the frypot. Ensure that it lowers smoothly,

and that you can feel the handle enter the detent.

3. Examine the red rubber O-RING around the edge of the LID for damage. Replace O-RING

(see page 5, item 8.) if required.

4. The CONTROL ROD may be damaged or misadjusted, or some component in the pressure/

exhaust system may be damaged. It is even possible that the PRESSURE GAUGE (item 15)

is damaged or inaccurate. Contact a Wells Mfg. Authorized Service Agency for repairs.

CAUTION: FIRE HAZARD / HOT OIL

THE HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT IS A FIRE PROTECTION DEVICE.

If tripping persists, clean debris from the space between the

hi-limit bulb and the element to enhance oil flow and facilitate reset.

Otherwise, contact your authorized Wells service agency for repairs.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BYPASS OR HOLD IN THE BUTTON OF THE

HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT. A FIRE MAY RESULT.
