Code E01
- Error message – REMOVE DISCARD (Right)

- What does it mean? – The error code appears if the ATO RTD reading is out of range.
Code E19
- Error message – M3000 CAN TX FULL

- What does it mean? – This displays if the oil back sensor failed.
Code E25
- Error message – RECOVERY FAULT
- What does it mean? – The error code shows when recovery time exceeded the maximum time limit (1:40 for electric, 2:25 for gas).
Code E26
- Error message – RECOVERY FAULT CALL SERVICE
- What does it mean? – This appears if the recovery time exceeded the maximum limit for two or more cycles. Contact an authorized service technician immediately to resolve the issue.
Code E27
- Error message 1 – LOW TEMP ALARM
- What does it mean? – The code displays if the oil temperature has dropped below the setpoint in idle mode by 30 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) or below the setpoint in cook mode by 45 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius).
- Error message 2 – HIGH TEMP ALARM
- What does it mean? – The code displays if the oil temperature has risen by 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 degrees Celsius). If temperature continues rising, the high limit feature will shut off the burner when temperature hits 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius) or 395 degrees Fahrenheit (202 degrees Celsius) on CE fryers.
Frymaster CM III.5 Error Codes, Boil Out & Recovery Time
The CM III.5 can be affected by electrical storms or fluctuations in electric current. If your computer isn’t functioning properly, try to reset it by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Fryer Codes
- PROB – The Frymaster PROB code means the fryer has a failed temperature probe or a failed controller. Either way, you will have to call Frymaster.
- HOT – If you see this error, turn the fryer off immediately and call Frymaster. This warning indicates a frypot temperature above 410F. It is very likely the oil in the vat has been ruined from this high temperature.
- HELP – The Frymaster HELP code will display if there’s a heating problem with your fryer. Be sure to turn the fryer off and contact Frymaster.
- CALL TECH – This means the memory chip or its support circuit has failed, and, you guessed it, you need to call Frymaster.
Boil Out
If you’re just looking for a code to initiate the boil out feature, read on. But first, make sure you know the procedure. Frymaster has created a series of helpful videos to walk you through the boil out process, whether you have a unit that will automatically begin or an older unit that has a specific temperature setting for boil out. Of course, it is also advisable that you have a copy of your Frymaster manual to make sure you have the correct procedure before you begin.
Recovery Time
The recovery time is the amount of time your fryer takes to increase the temperature from 275 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit after product is added (which lowers the temperature in the fryer). This number is automatically monitored by the Frymaster CM III.5 computers to help you determine whether your fryer is heating efficiently. To view the recovery time of your fryer, press the Program Mode button (the one with the checkmark) and “CODE” should appear. Enter the code 1652, and the recovery time will appear for 5 seconds.
