Troubleshooting the E-75 Contactor Near End-of-Life Error Code

Troubleshooting: E-75 Contactor Near End-of-Life Error Code

The E-75 error code appears on a Quantum Fryer when the number of cycles from the secondary contactor exceeds the program limit of 2.7 million cycles. This error indicates that the secondary contactor is nearing the end of its usable life, and it is time to schedule replacement. The error can be acknowledged and temporarily dismissed by the user, but it will reappear every four hours until the contactor is replaced and the settings are reset in T-18A and T-18B in tech mode.

Important Notes

• Anytime a secondary contactor is replaced, T-18A must be reset to ensure the cycle count is accurate.

• The error code triggers at 90% of the contactor’s life as a proactive reminder to replace it before failure.

Call Avoidance

To help the end user resolve the issue without a service call:

• If the E-75 error code appears, but the customer states the contactor was recently replaced, the technician may have forgot to perform a reset in T-18A or each corresponding vat. Walk the customer through a reset of these parameters to avoid a service call.
