Replacing the EEG Fryer Generation 4 Selector Valve Motor

Kit number

185390

Overview

As part of Henny Penny’s continuous improvement efforts, we are migrating away from Gen. 3, and to Gen. 4 selector valve motors on all NEW Evolution Elite Gas (EEG) fryers, starting October 2022. Additionally, the new Gen. 4 selector valve motor should be used as a serviceable part for all existing Gen. 3 and 4 selector valve motors on EEG fryers.

Procedure

Turn the power switch to -OFF-, and then unplug the fryer from power.
Using a drill motor with cross-tip bit, remove the right-side panel and rear access panel.
Using a 5/16th in. nut driver, remove three bolts holding the blower motor.
Remove blower motor, and then set aside.
Using a 1/8th in. hex key wrench (Gen. 3) or flat blade screwdriver (Gen. 4), remove three bolts holding the selector valve motor to the valve body.
Lift the selector valve motor, and then set it to the side.
Remove the Gen. 3 O-ring from the valve body and discard.
NOTE: The new Gen. 4 selector valve motor doesn’t use an O-ring.
For Gen. 3 only, remove and discard the coupler.
Disconnect the power supply and communication wires from the AIF board.
Reinstall the new Gen. 4 power supply and communication wires through the protection sleeve (grommet) and the AIF encloser.
Reconnect the power supply and communication wires to the AIF board.
Use a wide flat blade screwdriver to turn the selector valve, ensuring the two alignment dots align with home port 10.
Connect the new communication plug (harness) into the selector valve motor. It only connects one way.
To calibrate the selector valve motor, reconnect power to the fryer, and then turn on the fryer. The motor spins and calibrates itself. A solid green and red LED light indicates the motor is done calibrating, and at the home port.
Turn the power switch to -OFF-, and then unplug the fryer from power.
Install the calibrated selector valve motor, ensuring the tang (shaft) on the motor aligns with the cutout (shaft) on the selector valve.
Use a narrow flat blade screwdriver to install the three new screws that came with the new Gen. 4 selector valve motor.
Neatly, zip (wire) tie the power supply and communication wires to the electrical conduit in the AIF enclosure.
Reinstall the blower motor, rear access panel, and side panel.
Reconnect power to the fryer, and then turn on the fryer.
Run a filter cycle to ensure the new Gen. 4 motor works correctly.
