5.2.4 Built-in 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.

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 pump 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.
