Replacing the Drain Valve Actuator

Each vat drain valve is opened and closed by an actuator, so if the oil won’t drain or pump back into the vat, the actuator may be faulty.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect power.

1. Access faulty actuator by removing a side panel or opening doors, depending upon the location of the actuator.

   

2. Push-out the retaining pins in the front and rear of actuator.

3. Disconnect the wires.

4. Install new actuator in reverse order, and reconnect power to the fryer.
