Hello i have an electric Pitco Frialator and when I turn it on the light comes on but it doesn't click and doesn't heat up. What could be causing this?
If the mechanical thermostat is set at temperature higher than the present oil temperature and does not "click" it is a bad thermostat and needs replacement. Clicking sound on thermostat indicates closing of the mechanical contacts. Physically examine the thermostat capillary and sensing bulb, any puncture found indicates that it needs replacement.
