- Filtration pump trouble
This group covers the older Henny Penny pressure fryers still in service, labeled 561, 580, 590, 600, 690, 691, PFE-591, PFE-592, PFG-691, CFA-500 and CFA-600. Their controls are the Computron 1000, 2000 and 8000, which look and behave differently from the newer iControl units.
On these fryers a message such as E-70D can simply mean the fryer type is set wrong in Special Programming, so we check that before blaming parts. Age shows up in gaskets, switches, wiring and boards, so we look at those next, along with the high limit and the probe.
These are older lines, and repairing them is routine for us. The price is on paper before we begin, and if the work would cost more than the fryer is worth, you will hear that from us.

Often yes. The control, the probe and the wiring get tested before any board is suggested. When the board turns out to be the cause, you hear the cost and whether it is a sensible spend.
Why does my older fryer show E-70D?
The control may be set to the wrong fryer type, standing pilot or spark. The maker's steps change that in Special Programming, and we confirm the type before anything is changed.
What if my model number is not on your list?
Give us whatever the data plate says and we will place it for you. Older fryers carry many variants, and we confirm the parts before the visit so nothing is guessed.
