deepfryer thermal fuse
I have a Presto "Grandpappy" deep fryer that died the other day;the thermal
fuse is open.I can't read the markings on it.Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement? I believe the fryer runs at around 350-400degF. (there's a separate thermostat to control temp.) it's rated at 1500 watts. The heating element ohms OK. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

Here's a link to a Presto webpage where you can order a free instruction manual. Maybe it has a parts list. Jerry |

Is it possible to place the remnants on a heated surface with temperature monitoring and see when the conductor melts again ? Failing that try low and gradually increase temp rating -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

(240degC./15A@120VAC) but thanks anyways! turns out the bimetal oil-temperature regulator switch contacts stuck and the cutoff did it's job. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

You waste people's time.(and oxygen) -- Mr. Yanik: Whereas you are undoubtedly correct about my potentially wasting your time, if you put it in perspective I (potentially) wasted a tiny, one might even say insignificant, portion of it. What I said is equally undoubtedly true, and if by some bizarre twist of fate you hadn't heard the news about the perils of deep-fried food, the time I wasted might pale in comparison to the years I added to your life. With absolutely no offense to you, I might suggest that you get a bit of a thicker skin. This is, after all, usenet. There are many many many moderated forums in which you might have asked your question... this is not one of them. I do periodically post useful information, but if you choose to blacklist me over an innocuous, non-offensive posting, that is of course your decision to make. Buck up, old boy! Dave As an aside, what I stated was neither an opinion nor dumb. It was statistically suported and factual. |
