WARRANTY
All claims should be entered online. Checks are in place to ensure correct
information is submitted.
Claims that require parts to be sent back should be packaged with the part and a copy of
warranty claim and RA paperwork. This includes all computers, controllers, DOA parts
and parts on the mandatory return list.
Work orders do not have to be sent; however you must keep a copy until the claim has
been paid. A copy of the work order may be required to make a decision for payment.
Sub-agent work orders do not have to be sent but must be held until the claim is
paid.
Any changes or adjustments will be made and a “note” will be added to the credit memo
with an explanation of what was done.
All warranty claims must be submitted within 60 days from the date warranty work is
completed.
When completing the claim form, all areas must be filled in and must have the correct
information. Labor time and mileage should be broken down in the correct section. Parts
should be in parts section.
If for any reason parts are sent to you at no charge by the service department, we still
need part numbers.
Labor time should be based on the time chart provided by Frymaster. There is a copy in
this book. If excess time is needed, call our Service Department for an authorization
number. Authorizations are numbers, not names!
G-4
Total mileage over 100 miles or travel over 2 hours will NOT be paid without
authorization. Two trips still require an authorization if over the 100 miles, two
hours. NO EXCEPTIONS.
All freight charges must have an authorization for payment. Again, a number, not a
name.
No authorization number will be given after warranty claim has been submitted to
Frymaster or after warranty claim has been paid.
Computer claims – All defective computers must be returned to Frymaster. Claims will not be
paid without the computer. The old and new computer serial numbers must be listed on the
CFESA form. Paperwork and computers should be sent together unless submitting claims
online. When submitting computer claims online, submit claim and send the computer with a
copy of the claim. Send to: Frymaster Warranty Department, 8700 Line Avenue, Dock C,
Shreveport, La. 71106.
Frypot Claims: We no longer require old frypot tags to be sent back. VERY IMPORTANT:
The old frypot serial number must match up with the fryer listed on the warranty claim.
Failure to have the correct frypot serial number will result in non-payment. Please hold
frypot tag or frypot until claim has been paid.
Complete Frypot: Frypots manufactured with “400” stainless steel must be returned to
the factory for testing. The frypot can be tested with a magnet; if the magnet sticks, frypot
must be returned to the factory for testing. Serial number tags should not be cut out
of a “400” material frypot, the frypot has to be tested for leaks by QA. Frypot
cannot be tested with a hole in the pot. Claims for frypots with tags cut out will
not be paid.
For either of the above claims, the new-frypot number, old-frypot number, model and
serial number of the fryer must be listed on the CFESA. Also list the install date and
dates of service.
Any authorization numbers given pertaining to frypot serial numbers must be given
by the Warranty Department
VERY IMPORTANT: Please make sure all information is on the warranty claim and in the
correct section when it is submitted. Once a claim has been processed, it will not be
reopened for an additional credit due to omissions.
If there is anything out of the ordinary that we need to know to process a claim, please
include that information in Section 1 of the Warranty Service Report (CFESA).
PROOF OF INSTALLATION
Units that have not been installed within three years of their manufacturing date
are not covered under warranty
SERIAL NUMBERS
Like model numbers, serial numbers provide important details when you are searching for
troubleshooting assistance, replacement components, and warranty information. With
the serial number, Frymaster’s call center can identify: the model, options, warranty
status, who the unit was sold to, and the month, day and year a unit was produced.
Here is a breakdown of a sample serial number as they are now:
9501FM0054
95 year of manufacture, 01 month of manufacture, FM Family Model,
0054, Sequential number of fryers built
85A43416B
85 year of manufacture, A month of manufacture, 43416 Sequential
number of fryers built B, Family Model

MANDATORY RETURN PARTS LIST
All FAS’s must return the parts identified in the Mandatory Return Parts List to the
Frymaster Dean factory at the time the warranty claim is submitted. Warranty
claims involving these parts will not be processed until the parts have been received
at the Frymaster Dean factory. Return authorization is generated for mandatory
return parts when claim is filed.
Most parts are computers. Other parts are associated with quality concerns. All
computers/controllers under warranty, even if they are not listed on the Mandatory
Return must be returned.

Any fryers installed in any type of mobile/concession kitchen will not be covered under
warranty.
Normal maintenance items; i.e., electric bulbs, user assessable fuses, gaskets, O-rings,

TIDBITS OF INFORMATION
Before 1991, a bank of fryers shared one serial number. Beginning 1991, each fryer in a
bank has its own serial number.
Serial number etched on the inside of the frypot started in October 1995.
Normal frypot change outs – as soon as serial number of old frypot is verified and claim
has been paid , frypot can be thrown away unless it is a “400” material frypot.
All “400” material frypots must be returned. Frypots should be tested with a
magnet. If the magnet sticks to the frypot, it is “400” material – if in doubt, call the
warranty or technical service department-
Serial number tags should not be cut out of a “400” material frypot, the frypot has
to be tested for leaks by QA. Frypot cannot be tested with a hole in the pot. Claims
for frypots with tags cut out will not be paid.
Frypot Part Numbers: 806, 106 or 108 numbers are frypot assemblies (includes baffles
and insulation). 823 numbers are frypot only.
October 1995 forward, all frypot serial numbers are ten digits.
G-41

A series of numbers and a letter; i.e., 45729001D95. The first set of five or six
numbers will be the sales order number. The next three numbers are for each
individual unit; i.e., 001, 002, etc. The following letter is the month followed by the
year. In this method you must have the model number to determine material used
in construction. An “S” at the end of the model number signifies stainless steel. If
no “S,” the unit is mild steel.
1985 to 1993
Before 1985
Model number precedes a series of four or five numbers; i.e., 1414-8479. These must
