What if the oil refuses to drain?

Appliances sometimes develop their trouble even though they do not look like problems in themselves.

Well, issues like this can be a lot severe because it is possible for you to experience some kind of difficulty while draining the oil.

The best remedy to use if your T-fal deep fryer refuses to drain oil is for you to troubleshoot the deep fryer to be sure where the problem is coming from, so you can proffer solutions to it.

Your T-Fal deep fryer may not be draining because the oil temperature is too high. It is strongly advised that, before you drain oil or wash your washable compartments, it is expected that you allow the oil to cool to room temperature.

If the temperature is too high, the fryer will gauge the temperature of the oil in the oil tank, and once the heat has been noted, it will not allow the draining process to continue.

So don’t panic; check to see if this is one of the reasons why the deep fryer is not draining.

Secondly, your deep fryer may not be draining because the filter gird is clogged. Water cannot successfully pass through a hose if the hose is clogged.

So take note. Once the oil refuses to drain, it may be that the filter gird is clogged, which is, hindering the oil from getting filtered into the oil container.

So what do you do? You remove or empty the oil into another bowl by turning it.

Then begin to clean the filtration gird with the use of warm water and a soft brush. Ensure you scrub thoroughly until all the debris is out, then rinse with warm water.

Then push the red button at the bottom of the fryer to drain the water after washing. Once you are done, then you are ready to use your appliance again.

Thirdly and finally, the automatic filtration may be off if the oil is not draining. So all you have to do is to turn it back on.

Sometimes, you may forget to turn on the filtration switch, so don’t panic. Your deep fryer is not damaged.
