This genuine AT042 part is the exact replacement needed, and it's a straightforward job for any qualified engineer, getting you back to frying in no time.
Installation & Maintenance

- Photograph wiring configuration before removing the old part.
- Ensure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
- Test the fryer's heating cycles thoroughly after installation.
