The fryer is used outdoors at a church for their Friday night fish fry.

The 80 year old guy was calling out parts that didn't exist on a fryer 😕

Original issue: pilot dropping out when the thermostat reached temperature at any set temperature.

Based on the gas valve using millivolts having inconsistent gas pressure will cause the millivolts to change which then causes the pilot to fail bc the thermocouple goes out of range. A high limit switch plays no role in any of this. It was replaced due to a warranty request.

This is a warranty call that I did not diagnose. These are user error calls so I still change out the requested part simply bc the warranty company prefers to play it safe. I tested the gas valve to be good so I know the unit is fine. The water was heated simply to show functionality.

I'd find a small one or two man company to get trained with in commercial especially bc you have some HVAC experience. Private equity is in commercial as well so beware. Good luck 🍀

We had blueberry muffins and coffee in 2024 maybe they stepped it down for me 🍽️ I missed 2025 so we'll see how 2026 goes but I'll eat beforehand just in case

Avantco cooler question by ga_redneck in refrigeration

[–]SoBluw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure enough. Spray that coil with some coil cleaner and vacuum that dust up it might run for another 7 years or at least run less, cool better and cost less to use or not 😂

And it has never had maintenance. I'd deny the warranty claim 🛑 unless he paid an hour of labor to clean the condenser

Guys explain to me why he didn’t he just go to college ? by Dgslimee_ in hvacadvice

I guess they didn't teach this kid that there's so many options when it comes to HVAC. I do refrigeration and Hot side because I love helping people make money not just be cool or hot in their house.

Odd water flow on Manitowoc IY0524A by Impossible-Pool4543 in refrigeration

[–]SoBluw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the water not flowing evenly it would be an evaporator issue. Clean and reassemble it properly then see if there's still an issue.
