Hot side work is not for everyone. I see that nobody is in your way. If it was a mcdonalds, be prepared to get stepped on and greased up and yet maintain your composure. I have never changed one of these, very good info and well presented.
Thanks a lot for bringing me back to nightmares. Use to work on these back in the early 2000's. Changed fry pots, burners, and of course sensors and boards. Usually when there was staff working around you. Not fun at all.
hard to beat the old school basic simple tech, except now days the employees are brain baked simpletons, with zero skill other than drooling at their idiots devices(smart-phones) yep very smart are they(not)
Just wanted to say thanks for your time in making and posting the video! I replaced the ATO probe on my fryer last night and your video made the job much easier. Appreciate it!
The sensor's heater is quite high power at 40W - like a soldering iron element. The circuitry seems to tap off the mains passing through it, and uses a capacitive dropper to derive a low voltage supply for the thermocouple circuitry and relay. Does it only turn on when sensing is required?
It has a relay coil in parallel with the heater, when there's oil the heater stays on permanently. The one contact of the relay goes to the board's call for heat input. The power for the gas valve goes through the other contact. It seems it has power as long as there is no alarm on the ignition module.
@@Uncle-Duncan-Shack I spotted the coil in parallel with the heater. I wonder if the unit works by switching the relay and heater through a single triac, and locks out if the probe reaches the oil smoking temperature of 450F (230C). That could indicate either a failed heating thermostat or low oil.
@@bigclivedotcom I see that plastic egg contains a relay. According to the service manual for the fryer that switches 4s on 4s off when the probe gets to 230 deg C. That indicates low oil or filter cycle not completed yet as that probe detects when the oil has been pumped back as well, it's called "OIB- Oil is back" sensor in the service manual. Looks like it's optional, which is why the electronics is supplied with it in the egg.
Bruv I swear like a pirate when I just have to connect a wire in the terminals for the board , so add oily environnement to it , I can indeed picture you using a few choice words ! Kudos to you for keeping your calm sir , well at least on camera 😆
I be good is you could inspect the Little Board as tell what when wrong with it and make the video more awesome. Some times cold weld cause not to work just heat it with the iron gun and works. That's not always the case even when heated up still no work .awesome video. I am just curious how things work.
Seems more like a quantumsupercomputer to me! Is there no self repair modus on this one? At least you should be able to connect to internet on this fryer?
I see the service manual for this warns that if you fix them in California your children will suffer from birth defects and yourself will die of cancer. In the rest of the world the service procedure is straightforward and safe.
They designed these fryers to be simple to use for the restaurant employees , But f@#k the service guy. And the LOV version with a freaking network sucks the most. Thanks for the video
Man talk about over-engineering but I guess its all safety stuff mostly, I mean a fryer is not that complicated but all the built-in fail-safes make it complicated.
Hey what are you doing???? You are suppose to be on the roof in the snow, not working inside on something hot and warm???? Now do not drop you camera in the oil.
The man does HVAC, refrigeration, hot side *ALL WHILE MAINTAINING A SPLENDID BEARD.*
What a legend.
I got grease in my beard that day
@@curioushvacguy6876 Or beard-butter as they call it after adding a few drips of lavender oil to it, and putting it in a small bottle.
@@bigclivedotcom Big Clive you should experiment energising your beard with the fork , see if it gets as smooth as Bill's 😁
@@curioushvacguy6876 not much different than oiling it daily LOL

Wow. Lots of respect for anyone tackling work on that type of equipment. Nice job.

Makes me appreciate the pitco fryers I work on. Great video!

The oil is supposed to be hot anyways so I guess there is no point in saving electricity on a more efficient sensor design.

Thanks for showing the entire scope of being in HVACR. Great explanations while doing the work.

Yup, I could imagine how fun those are to work on. Nice 👍
Is been awhile since I've done one. Wasn't bad just a bit time consuming. Great video. Love the hot side videos you incoperate to your channel
Thanks 👍
That brings me back to my fast food worker days... I cleaned many many fryers... thanks for the video
Nice fix bill . Very informative ... Nice office by the way ... Thanx for sharing ...
Always wanted to try commercial kitcken appliance repair. Something different to learn. Good video on the hot side work. Thank you.
I do all 3 too here in Tennessee! Love to see UA-cam videos about it. Keep it up!
Awesome video great job liked the little black box 📦 lol 😂
Thanks Bill! 👍
That’s awesome man always great video content! What did you use to make your sticker/avatar design?
Is the red speaker the thing that beeps when you press the buttons?

Love seeing some hotside work,keep it coming. Would still take this job over pitco fry filter pump or return valve. U work on pitco any?
Seems more like a quantumsupercomputer to me! Is there no self repair modus on this one? At least you should be able to connect to internet on this fryer?
You are the man !!
a lot like a mass air flow sensor. interesting that it has its own power supply and control circuit.
Nice repair video 👍
Great video!
What you don't like a little deep fried iPhone LOL
Nice job! The Aaon unit of the fryer world. Lol. I don't do hot side work but I've seen a few aaon units and know exactly what you are talking about.
Nice job and video
Awesome Thank you
How old are these interfaces ?
Awesome video.
Thanks!
Happy new year 2021
👍👍👍
Lol I’ve dropped my phone in a oil drain pan
Merry Christmas pro
I see the service manual for this warns that if you fix them in California your children will suffer from birth defects and yourself will die of cancer.
In the rest of the world the service procedure is straightforward and safe.
Magically, everything starts to cause cancer once they are moved to California.
Kidding aside , Merry Christmas!
I’m glad I do not do hot work! All props to you
#105 thumbs uP
Kitchens. Love them or hate them. No middle point.
We change the fry pot last week on one of those. Not fun at all
Sounds horrible
I'm cold side and I know its coming ill have to work on hot side as well. Im not not....not looking forward to working on friars.
You're a service engineer.
I replaced some of those beforeI nasty!!! 😆
Judging by the dirtiness of those fryers I’m going to guess jack in the box
They designed these fryers to be simple to use for the restaurant employees ,
But f@#k the service guy.
And the LOV version with a freaking network sucks the most.
Thanks for the video
Great hot side video.
wait, what is this, a HVAC/R fella using automotive mechanics tooling =p
all tools are viable for all fields if they work!
Man talk about over-engineering but I guess its all safety stuff mostly, I mean a fryer is not that complicated but all the built-in fail-safes make it complicated.
Everytime I work on deep fat frier I can feel my arteries clogging up
Ohh no cockroaches:-)
Ill take the gas friers from pitco over these frymasters anyday and any fix, if they had only the energy efficency of the frymasters...
Hey what are you doing???? You are suppose to be on the roof in the snow, not working inside on something hot and warm???? Now do not drop you camera in the oil.
Overly engineered and overly complicated story of my life
No fun doing this stuff
