After holding the red button for 30 seconds and then letting go the flame goes out. Why wont the flame stay lit?
We put a center block underneath the red switch and it held it to the open position
THIS IS FROM BRIKMANN WEBSITE SUPPORTMake sure the tip of the thermocouple is located over the edge of the burner so that it gets hot when the burner is in operation. Also, check all the wiring connections to make sure nothing has come loose. It is also important to use the turkey fryer with the pot that comes with the unit. The pot must sit on the spring loaded temperature switch in order to determine the temperature of the liquid in the pot.
This happened to me as well. My problem was there is a spring that comes with the fryer but it isn't listed in the directions. It is in step 2. You need to attach the spring from burner to the hose control panel. If you don't it makes it too tight an the flame won't stay lit. That spring acts as a buffer to allow the right amount of air I am assuming. Regardless once I had to take it apart and figure it out it worked. It is not in the directions. I only realized it once I had this spring left and wasn't sure what to do with it and then did some google searches and found someone else had figured it out. Thanks for leaving this important part of the install out Brinkmann!!
Yo! the Dang pan has to be filled and on the burner which makes contact with the auto shut off sensor that is measuring the temp of the pan. The weight of the filled pan holds that Lil temp sensor down and allows the gas to continuously flow as if you were holding that Lil red button. So after hours of trying to light it without the pan you should find that it does work with the filled pan on the burner holding the red button, stick a match in the hole and let the button go and watch the blue flames flow. My gripe now is that it shuts off after the oil temp reaches 250 to 260 degrees then you have to reignite. Oh yeah my 10lb Turkey was crazy tasty.
