Repairing Gold Medal Funnel Cake Fryers
Gold Medal funnel cake fryers use model-specific control boards, sensors and wiring layouts, so we start by reading the model and serial number from the rating label. That tells the technician which parts fit and whether any service bulletins apply to your unit.
How we repair your Gold Medal Funnel Cake Fryer
A funnel cake fryer is a compact, shallow commercial fryer with a wide pan for frying batter rings, common at concession stands and fairs. Every funnel cake fryer has a heat source, a thermostat or computer control, a high-limit safety switch and an oil vat, plus pilot or ignition parts on gas models. A technician checks ignition or elements, thermostat accuracy and the high-limit, and inspects the vat and drain valve for leaks.
Fryers are often the busiest station in a restaurant, so a down fryer is handled as a priority call.
