Replacing the Gas Control Valve

The gas control valve sends regulated gas to the burners when the controller calls for heat. The control valve can be turned on or off. In the on position, and the power switch on, a spark ignitor lights a standing pilot, and when the control calls for heat, the valve is opened and the burners are ignited.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, before starting this procedure, move the main power switch to the off position. Disconnect the main circuit breakers at the circuit breaker box or unplug service cord from wall receptacle. Turn off the main gas supply to the fryer and disconnect and cap the main supply line to fryer, or possible explosion could result.

A voltage check at the gas control valve must be taken four (4) seconds after the POWER switch is turned to the ON position.
