# Henny Penny E-25: heat amps too high on an electric pressure fryer

The electric PFE models monitor element current and compare it with a nominal amps figure stored in special settings (SP-12).

## What E-25 actually means.

The electric PFE models monitor element current and compare it with a nominal amps figure stored in special settings (SP-12). A reading well above that figure raises E-25, pointing at the supply, wiring or elements.

What to do when E-25 shows on the commercial appliance

### Kind of code Controls and power

The controller itself is reporting trouble, or the supply behind it is: a display with dead segments, a keypad that stopped responding after steam or degreaser got behind it, relays that stick, stored recipes or cycles that vanished overnight, a blown control fuse, or one leg of a three-phase feed missing so half the heat or the pump is gone. A full power cycle at the breaker, done as the manual describes, clears a passing glitch; a code that returns, a scorched smell or any sign of moisture behind the panel means the breaker stays off, and that is a visit.

### Usually leads to Commercial controls and board repair

Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so.

### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display

A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

### Make Henny Penny

Henny Penny equipment gets its visit once the unit is cool, any oil is down and the crew has logged the last load.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Henny Penny's own guidance for E-25 on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Silence the alarm and turn the fryer off.

02

Note whether other equipment on the same circuit was just added or moved, which the technician will ask about.

03

Book a visit: Henny Penny sends the check to the SP-12 setting, the electrical supply, the wiring and the elements.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [commercial controls and board repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-controls-and-board-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

E-25 is too much current; the opposite, too little, is E-27, and heat stuck on is E-26. It is not an oil temperature reading.

## What you may notice with it.

The commercial appliance problems E-25 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the commercial appliance before anyone is booked.

## Questions about E-25.

### Can I clear E-25 myself?

Silence the alarm and turn the fryer off. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is SP-12 on a Henny Penny electric fryer?

It is the special setting that stores the nominal element current. E-25 and E-27 compare the live reading with it, so a wrong value there can cause either code.

### Can a power problem in the building cause E-25?

Yes. Henny Penny includes the electrical supply in the check, so a technician may measure the incoming voltage as well as the elements.

### Is it safe to run the fryer with E-25?

Turn it off. High current points to an element or wiring problem that is better found before it heats a vat full of oil.
