Why your Imperial deep fryer is won't start
When a Imperial deep fryer is won't start, here's what you'll usually notice: unit completely dead, no lights, no response. Door switch, control board, or power issue. More often than not it traces back to failed main control board. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Failed main control board
- A failed start capacitor
- A power supply or wiring fault
Known Imperial deep fryer weak points
- standing-pilot and thermocouple failures preventing burner ignition
- burner valve and orifice wear causing weak or uneven flame
- oven and fryer thermostat drift affecting temperature accuracy
- griddle plate warping and thermostat faults over heavy use
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: check the outlet and breaker, and confirm the door is fully closed and latched — many units won't start at all with a door safety switch tripped. Also, try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Should that not clear it, if power and the door are both fine, the fault is in the control board or start circuit, and testing that safely means working inside a live electrical panel.
