Replacing the Temperature Probe
The temperature probe relays the actual shortening temperature to the control. If it becomes disabled, “E-6” shows in the display. Also, if the temperature is out of calibration more than 10°F, or 10°C, the temperature probe should be replaced.
An Ohm check can be performed also.

Support control panel bottom with one hand, loosen retaining screw at panel top, slide panel down slightly to clear screw, push panel bottom up, then swing panel top out and down.
Referring to the decal on the rear of the control panel, locate the 12-pin probe connector in the upper, right-hand corner. (An ohm chart is also shown on the decal.)
Pull the connector from the panel and using a multimeter, take an ohm reading on the appropriate oil temp pins. If ohm reading is significantly different than the chart, continue with replacement instructions.
Replacing
Pull-out on the drain valve knob and drain the oil from the vat.
Remove the rear panel (nine screws).
Using a 1/2 inch wrench, remove the nut on the compression fitting, and remove the temperature probe from the vat.
Follow the probe wires and disconnect the two probe connectors. (These may be found behind the control panel or behind the side panels, depending upon which vat is being serviced.)
Locate temperature probe through vat wall.
Excess force will damage the temperature probe.
Place gauge against vat wall as shown.
Push temperature probe through until it makes contact with gauge.
Tighten temperature probe in place.
Connect new temperature probe to the two fryer connections.
Replace rear cover and reconnect power to vat.
Lower element back into vat and close drain. Fill vat by pressing and holding the filter button until *FILTER* *MENU* shows in the display. Then once “1. EXPRESS FILTER” shows in the display, press the right arrow button four times until “5.FILL FROM PAN” shows in the display. Press √ button and “PUMP” “EXIT” shows in the display. Press √ button again, and oil fills vat. Once vat is full, press X twice to return to normal operation.
