Open drain valve or problem with
latching circuits
Verify that the drain valve is fully
closed. The fryer will not function
if the drain valve is not fully
closed. If the drain valve is fully
closed, the problem is within the
latching circuitry and is beyond the
scope of operator troubleshooting.
Call FASC.

6.2.4 Filtration Problems
Problem Probable Causes Corrective Action
A. Power cord is not plugged in or
circuit breaker is tripped.
A. Verify that the power cord is
fully plugged in. If so, verify
that circuit breaker is not
tripped.
B. Pump motor has overheated
causing the thermal overload
switch to trip.
B. If the motor is too hot to touch
for more than a few seconds, the
thermal overload switch has
probably tripped. Allow the
motor to cool at least 45
minutes then press the Pump
Reset Switch.
Filter pump won't
start.
C. Blockage in filter pump.
Test: Close the drain valve and
pull the filter pan out from the
fryer. Activate the pump. If the
p
ump motor hums for a short time
then stops, the probable cause is
blockage of the pump itself.
C. Pump blockages are usually
caused by sediment buildup in
the pump due to improperly
sized or installed filter paper
and failure to use the crumb
screen. Call FASC.
Filter pump runs
but oil does not
return to frypot and
there is no bubbling
oil or air coming
from the Power
Shower.
Blockage in filter pan suction tube.
Test: Close the drain valve and pull
the filter pan out from the fryer.
Activate the pump. If the air or
bubbling oil comes out of the Power
Shower, there is a blockage in the
filter pan suction tube.
The blockage may be caused by
sediment buildup or, if solid
shortening is used, solidified
shortening in the tube. Use a thin,
flexible wire to remove the
blockage. If the blockage cannot
be removed, call FASC.
