Restore safe and reliable operation to your Henny Penny pressure fryer with this front lid latch spring kit. The latch assembly is the most frequently operated mechanism on the fryer — pulled and released with every loading cycle. When the latch spring fails, the lid cannot be securely locked during the frying cycle, creating an immediate safety hazard and taking the unit out of service.

Part number 16199 is a complete kit — not just a spring. It includes the latch spring, latch pin, and E-clips required to carry out a full front latch mechanism service in a single operation.

Important Information

The front latch assembly on a Henny Penny pressure fryer is a safety-critical mechanism. Replacement should be carried out by a competent engineer. Ensure the fryer is fully powered down, depressurised, and cooled before commencing any service work. The latch pin and E-clips included in this kit should be replaced alongside the spring as standard practice during any latch service.
