1.9 Built-in Filtration System Service Procedures

1.9.1 Filtration System Problem Resolution

One of the most common causes of filtration problems is placing the filter pad/paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than over the filter screen.

CAUTION

Ensure that filter screen is in place prior to filter pad/paper placement and filter pump

operation. Improper screen placement is the primary cause of filtration system

malfunction.

Whenever the complaint is “the pump is running, but no oil is being filtered,” check the installation of the filter pad/paper, and ensure that the correct size is being used. While you are checking the filter pad/paper, verify that the O-rings on the pick-up tube of the filter pan are in good condition. A missing or

Gear Rotation

Sediment Particle

worn O-ring allows the pump to take in air and decrease its efficiency.

If the pump motor overheats, the thermal overload

Oil Flow

will trip and the motor will not start until it is reset. If the pump motor does not start, press the red reset switch (button) located on the rear of the motor.

If the pump starts after resetting the thermal overload switch, then something is causing the motor to overheat. A major cause of overheating is when several frypots are filtered sequentially, overheating

Sediment Particle

Up for reverse

the pump and motor. Allow the pump motor to cool at least 30 minutes before resuming operation. Pump overheating can be caused by:

 Solidified shortening in the pan or filter lines,

Down for forward

 Attempting to filter unheated oil or shortening

(cold oil is more viscous, overloading the pump motor and causing it to overheat).
