Deep Fryer: Doesn't Maintain Temperature
If your deep fryer doesn't maintain temperature, use our guide to pinpoint which part is likely causing the issue. Our repair experts have narrowed down the likely parts to the power cord or control assembly. Consider doing a DIY repair - our troubleshooting guide will walk you through the steps. If you require detailed instructions for your model, refer to your owner's manual.
Power Cords
Your deep fryer may not maintain the correct temperature if the connection from the power cord is faulty. The cord connects magnetically to the deep fryer, and can come undone if the unit is bumped or moved. Make sure the cord hasn’t simply fallen out before concluding it is faulty. The cords can become damaged from use over time. Uneven temperature can also be caused by a poor connection on the contacts of the cord to the fryer. If the contacts become dirty or damaged, the the unit will have a harder time keeping the temperature where it should be. You can easily replace your power cord by ordering a compatible replacement and plugging it into your deep fryer.

Assemblies
If your deep fryer won’t maintain a consistent temperature, it could be due to a faulty part in the control assembly. This assembly includes the control/circuit board, thermostats, and the heating element. This assembly is the brains of the whole fryer. The thermostat provides the current to the heating element via a circuit which opens and closes. The thermostat contacts could be worn, no longer passing the current along. The thermostat also sometimes functions as an overload switch in the event your unit becomes overheated. You can test the components of the control assembly using a multimeter.
