C. PROBLEM: FILTER PUMP WILL NOT RUN
1. Verify that the POWER SWITCH (item 1, upper control panel) is in the FILTER position, and
that the FILTER PUMP SWITCH (item 6, lower control panel) is in the ON position.
2. Press the red RESET button (item 9) on the FILTER PUMP MOTOR, accessible on the back
of the fryer. If the pump motor continues to trip out, or if no other cause is apparent for the
pump’s failure to run, contact a Wells Mfg. Authorized Service Agency for repairs.
D. PROBLEM: FILTER RESERVOIR OVERFLOWS DURING FILTER CYCLE
1. The oil level in the reservoir must be constantly monitored during the filter cycle, and the flow
controlled by means of the DRAIN VALVE LEVER (item 11).
2. The surface of the FILTER PAPER may become clogged with crumbs or other debris. If this
happens, turn OFF the DRAIN VALVE LEVER (item 11); when bubbles begin appearing in the
oil returned to the FRYPOT, turn OFF the FILTER PUMP SWITCH (item 6).
Carefully slide the FILTER RESERVOIR out approximately 6”. Gently run the end of the
WOOD CLEANOUT DOWEL across the surface of the FILTER PAPER and scrape the
crumbs toward the edges. Carefully slide the FILTER RESERVOIR back into place, making
sure the SUCTION TUBE is properly seated in the RECEPTACLE.
Resume filtering, but remember to replace the FILTER PAPER before the next filtering cycle.
E. PROBLEM: FILTER PUMP WON’T PUMP, or PUMPS AIR DURING FILTERING
BUBBLES in the oil while filtering, and/or a failure of the pump to achieve or maintain prime
indicate that air is entering the suction side of the pump.
1. Examine the SUCTION TUBE O-RING. A damaged or improperly seated O-RING can cause
the FILTER PUMP to lose suction. This will result in a failure to filter the oil, and in a failure of
the oil to be returned to the FRYPOT.
Replace SUCTION TUBE O-RING if it is missing, cracked, distorted or scuffed with one of the
spare O-rings.
2. Verify that he SUCTION TUBE is fully seated in the SUCTION LINE RECEPTACLE.
3. Internal component damage. Contact a Wells Mfg. Authorized Service Agency.
