Is the oil coll and it still doesnt reset?If so the hi limit is bad,which is the reset.If you gain acess to it you will see 2 wires.Connect these wires and it should heat.HOWEVER this is a saftey device that prevents the oil from getting too hot and catching on fire.

Hello

This sounds to me as if your thermostat is not cycling the unit off. But I can see a second problem as well there should be a high limit cutoff to prevent it from running on and boiling over. I would check both. The thermostat is the dial or knob to regulate temperature and the high limit is the safty to prevent boil over or run on.

Thanks

This is normal, and common to heating appliances. The metal needs to be cured as you would a cast iron fry pan. I brushed it with a little oil and turned it on without filling it. Once it heated up fully, I turned it off, let it cool and wiped it out with a paper towel.

Hi there, It is not economical nor even possible to convert electric fryer to gas fryer since the tank construction and parts are very different.

Wells Fryer manuals can be downloaded free at www.wells-bloomfield.com

Any competent service technician could cobble something like this together, but I'd challenge the insurance company, as this fryer is UL approved. Such a modification would be expensive and void the warranty and NSF and UL approveals.

Hi there! If hi limit wont reset when button is pushed, there might be a mechanical problem inside the part which prevents t from resetting, you have to replace the part.Visit www.middleby.com and select wells to find the nearest authorized parts dealer near your area.Regards.

You need a new one or send back if recent purchase

check your program for the basket lift, also check the mechanisms.

Hi,
Running the fryer with no oil will over heat the coil very quickly...this caused the element to burn out...

That element will be replaceable...

If you call these guys you should be able to purchase a new element from them...

By purchasing a natural to propane conversion kit & it also might require the burner orfices to be changed out too. By contacting Wells@ 888-492-2782 with your model & serial # in front of you, they will be able to give you the part #s needed. If they will not sell you the parts then you can probably purchase them from Stove Parts Supply in Ft. Worth Texas
