Deep Fryer: Gets too hot
Is your deep fryer getting too hot? This is a common symptom that you can actually diagnose yourself. Read on for tips our experts have provided regarding how to determine which part needs to be replaced, and how you can get it back in working order quickly. Start by checking for signs of wear and tear to the power cord or control assembly.
Power Cords
Your deep fryer may be getting to hot because the power cord is internally damaged. Power cords usually connect to deep fryers magnetically, as a safety feature. The internal wires can break over time, which compromises the connection. The contacts on the cord can also become worn or dirty, which can lead to temperature fluctuations in the deep fryer. If the contacts are damaged the control assembly can become shorted and overheat. Replacing the power cord on your deep fryer is easy because it attaches to the outside of the fryer, no disassembly is required.

Assemblies
The control assembly in your deep fryer houses the control/circuit board, thermostats, and the heating element. If your deep fryer gets too hot, it is likely due to a faulty thermostat. The thermostat may be broken and not signaling the correct temperature to the control board and heating element. Usually the whole control assembly needs to be replaced if one of the parts within it are faulty. The control assembly typically clips onto the side of the deep fryer and can be easily replaced without requiring tools.
