The function of a high limit in a fryer

The hi-limit in a fryer is an essential safety feature that shuts down the fryer when the thermostat fails to regulate the temperature. It prevents overheating by cutting off gas or electrical supply when temperatures exceed safe levels, protecting against fire hazards. Addressing frequent tripping indicates possible thermostat failure or electrical issues, requiring immediate attention.
