[/ol]
[font=Söhne,]If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, and the deep fryer is still under warranty, contact Menards customer service or the manufacturer for guidance. Attempting to repair the fryer beyond basic troubleshooting may void the warranty and could be unsafe if you're not familiar with the internal components of the appliance. If the fryer is out of warranty, and you're not comfortable with DIY repairs, it may be more practical to replace the unit.[/font]
