2. Drain cooking oil below the level of the probe or thermostat.
3. Lift up on the bezel to disengage the tabs on its lower edge from the control panel frame.
4. Remove the top two screws in the upper corners of the computer.
5. Swing the computer out from the top and allow it to rest on its hinge tabs.

harness 15-pin connector.
11. Remove the component box mounting screws.
12. Rotate the top of the component box out of the frame and carefully pull it out enough to
disconnect the wiring harness plug from the back of the box. This will leave one set of wires,

a. If replacing the temperature probe, use a pin pusher to disconnect (one at a time) the red and
white leads from the connector and insert the corresponding leads from the new probe into the
plug..
b. If replacing the high-limit thermostat, use a pin pusher to disconnect the lead running to the
connector and insert the corresponding lead from the new thermostat. Disconnect the other
