You will not be able to use the fryer if you disconnect the hi limit. Never attempt to put jumper wire across the hi limit terminal because hi limit on fryers or any equipment is the safety device that will cut off burner flame or heater electrical supply when oil temp reaches 450F in case the thermostat or any part malfunction and If your hi limit is defective, you have to replace it so that you can use the fryer again.
