Brenda (OH) Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Anyone else experiencing the temperature unit going bad on the Masterbuilt or Cajun Injector turkey fryers? I have had 2 bite the dust in a matter of 2 months. One was a couple years old but one was new. Unfortunately, I have gotten rid of the boxes so was wondering if anyone knows if I can buy just the temperature unit to replace them? I would be more convenient rather than buying another full cooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda (OH) Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Brenda, you do know about the reset button on the top/back of the heater? CaroleYea, I did know about the reset button but the problem I am having is the heating element isn't maintaining the temperature I am setting it at. I set the temp control at 200* and the wax gets HOT HOT HOT. The wax temp keeps climbing. Even lowering the control to 150* or 175* does not work, wax temps climb upward. Luckily I keep my thermometer in the wax, wax temp got up above 275* I had another fryer go bad a couple months ago with the same problem - over heating. Now I have 2 that I am hoping to replace the heating element on. If not I'll just pitch them and buy new . . I didn't have a chance to call Masterbuilt yet to see if replacement heating elements can be purchased but I will today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda (OH) Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 The re-set button worked I had to use the re-set button when the heating element didn't kick on in the past, but I didn't know that it would work when the heating element was heating too hot. This is great news & good to know in the future. I just love this board !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
