A Frymaster fryer is serviced cold: the visit waits until the oil has come down and the vat has been drained by the crew." url: "https://commercialappliancerepair.center/brands/frymaster/" --- # Frymaster Restaurant Equipment Repair A Frymaster fryer is serviced cold: the visit waits until the oil has come down and the vat has been drained by the crew. ## Frymaster commercial appliances, specifically. Frymaster, based in Shreveport, Louisiana since 1935, builds commercial fryers and the oil handling gear around them, and nothing else; its lineup also carries the Dean fryer family. For a restaurant that means a Frymaster visit is always a fryer visit: heat, oil, filtration and the controller that runs them, where the controller's error log usually tells us where to start. The Frymaster lineup ### Builds 1 commercial appliance type Commercial cooking equipment ### Called out for Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display and 5 more problems on Frymaster ### Repairs we do 10 repairs, on any make Commercial appliance diagnostic visit · Walk-in cooler repair · Reach-in and prep table repair · Commercial fryer repair ### Error codes E13 · E16 · E17 · E18 · E19 15 Frymaster codes with a page of their own ## The Frymaster lineup.

We see FilterQuick fryers with the FQ4000 touchscreen, the H55 and ESG35T gas fryers, MJ, 1814, OCF and RE series units, older fryers on the M3000 and CM3.5 controllers, and Dean-branded fryers from the same factory. Knowing the controller on the front narrows down which error list applies. ### A controller that keeps a log The FQ4000 easyTouch touchscreen on FilterQuick fryers records numbered errors such as E13, E28 and E44, and it can connect to the cloud. Reading that log before the vat is opened shows whether a problem is new or has been repeating for days. ### Filtration built into the cabinet FilterQuick and many other Frymaster fryers carry their own filter pan and pump, and the controller counts hours on the pad. Frymaster requires a fresh pad or paper every day, and many slow-return complaints trace back to a pad or pan that was skipped or seated wrong. ### Oil topped off from a box Automatic top off pulls fresh oil from a jug-in-box reservoir in the cabinet, which Frymaster says lasts about two days in a typical store. When the jug runs dry, level-related messages follow, so the reservoir is part of every check. ### Two ways of heating oil Current Frymaster gas fryers use Dean's Thermo-Tube heat exchanger, while the H55 family relies on infrared burners fed by a combustion air blower. The heat source changes which parts we test first when a vat will not come up to temperature. Parts Temperature probes, high limits, contactors, ignition modules, blowers and controller boards are ordered against the data plate inside the fryer door, never by eye. Filter pads, O-rings and the top-off jug are consumables the kitchen keeps on hand. Repair or replace A Frymaster with a sound frypot is nearly always worth repairing when a probe, blower, valve actuator or board fails. A leaking frypot or repeated overheating on an older fryer is when a new unit is worth pricing against the repair. Book your Frymaster visit ## What we are called out for.

The controller counts hours of pad use and also watches how fast oil returns during filtration. After 25 hours, or when returns slow down, it asks for a new pad. Frymaster expects the pad to be changed every day. ### How do I see the error history on a Frymaster FQ4000? The FQ4000 keeps an error log reached through its menus, and the M3000 keeps the ten most recent errors with time and date. Writing down what the log shows before a visit saves diagnosis time. ### My Frymaster heats slowly at lunch; is that a repair? The controller measures recovery after each load and raises an alarm when it runs long. One slow recovery after a huge frozen load is normal; repeated alarms with normal loads point at the blower, burners or elements. ### Does Frymaster make anything besides fryers? Its range is fryers plus oil management: portable filters, oil disposal units and cleaning caddies. Ovens, cold storage and dish machines in the same kitchen come from other makers. --- **[Read on the site: Frymaster Restaurant Equipment Repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/brands/frymaster/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
