Cleveland Tilt Skillet Troubleshooting 

Sequence Order

Issue

Potential Resolution

1

No power to the skillet

See if there is no voltage being supplied to the primary of the power transformer.

2

Faulty power transformer

If voltage is supplied to the unit, check that there is 120 volts of AC power supplied to the power transformer's secondary. When there isn't 120 volts of AC power at the secondary, replace the power transformer.

3

Faulty 3 AMP fuse

If there aren't 120 volts of AC power to the 24-volt transformer's primary, replace the 3 AMP fuse.

4

Faulty 24-volt transformer

When there isn't 24 volts of AC power being supplied to the 24-volt transformer's secondary, replaced the transformer.

5

Faulty 1.25 AMP fuse

Check the ON/OFF switch for 24 volts of AC power. If there isn't power, replace the 1.25 AMP fuse.

6

Faulty ON/OFF switch

If there isn't 24 volts of AC power to the high-limit switch, replace the ON/OFF switch.

7

Faulty high limit

Check that the mercury switch is being supplied with 24 volts of AC power. If it's not, replace the high limit.

8

Faulty or displaced mercury tilt switch

See if 24 volts of AC power is going to terminal 9 of the thermostat board. If not, make sure the skillet is in the down position. If the skillet is down, you'll need to replace or adjust the mercury tilt switch.

9

Faulty thermostat

See if there is 24 volts of AC power going to heat relay coil with the thermostat is set above the pan's temperature. If not, check the resistance of the thermistor probe. If the resistance is at 1100 at 80 degrees, 1350 at 200 degrees, 1450 at 250 degrees, 1550 at 300 degrees and 1650 at 350 degrees, replace the thermostat.

10

Faulty thermistor

When there isn't 24 volts of AC power going to heat relay coil and thermistor resistance is not at 1100 at 80 degrees, 1350 at 200 degrees, 1450 at 250 degrees, 1550 at 300 degrees and 1650 at 350 degrees, replace the thermistor.

11

Faulty heat relay

If there aren't 120 volts of AC power going to the coil of the heater contractors, replace the heat relay.

12

Faulty elements

When there is 120 volts of AC power going to the coil of the heater contractors and supply voltage to the elements, replace the open elements.

13

Faulty contactor

If there isn't supply voltage going to the elements, replace the contactor.

Sequence Order

Issue

Potential Resolution

1

No power between terminals 2 and 1

When there is no power on the terminal strip in the terminal strip between terminals 2 and 1, make sure to check Fuse FS1 and the breaker.

2

Faulty power switch

When power is absent on the terminal strip in the component box between terminals 2 and 1, replace the power switch.

3

Faulty transformer

Check for 120 volts of AC power at the X1 and X2 on the secondary of transformer. If there isn't 120 volts, replace the transformer.

4

Faulty fuse FS3

With or without the tilt switch interrupted, check if there is 120 volts of AC power between the X2 on the transformer's secondary side and terminal 7 on the terminal strip. If not, replace the fuse FS3.

5

Faulty interrupt switch

With the tilt switch interrupted, check if there is 120 volts of AC power between the X2 on the transformer's secondary side and terminal 7 on the terminal strip. If so, replace the interrupt switch.

6

Faulty high limit

On the electronic thermostat, see if there is 120 volts of AC power between terminals 9 and 7. If not, replace the high limit.

7

Faulty thermostat

See if there is 120 volts of AC power on thermostat going between terminals 10 and 7. If not, check the resistance of the thermistor probe. If the resistance is at 1100 at 80 degrees, 1350 at 200 degrees, 1450 at 250 degrees, 1550 at 300 degrees and 1650 at 350 degrees, replace the thermostat.

8

Faulty thermistor

When there isn't is 120 volts of AC power on the thermostat going between terminals 10 and 7 and thermistor probe resistance isn't at 1100 at 80 degrees, 1350 at 200 degrees, 1450 at 250 degrees, 1550 at 300 degrees and 1650 at 350 degrees, replace the thermistor.

9

Faulty thermostat wires

If there isn't 120 volts of AC power across the contactor coils, repair or replace the thermostat wires.

10

Faulty contactor

If there is 120 volts of AC power across the contactor coils but the contactor doesn't pull in, repair or replace the thermostat wires.

11

Elements are heating up

When there is an amp draw at the element, give elements more time to heat up.

12

Faulty element

When there isn't an amp draw at the element, replace the element.
