1.10 Built-in Filter System Service Procedures
Filtration Problem Resolution
One of the most common errors is placing the filter 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 paper placement and filter pump
operation. Improper screen placement is the major cause of filter system
malfunction.
Whenever the complaint is “the pump is running, but no oil is being filtered,” check the installation
of the filter paper, and ensure that the correct size is being used. While you are checking the filter
paper, verify that the O-ring on the bottom of the filter pan is present and in good condition. A
missing or worn O-ring allows the pump to take in air and decreases its efficiency. Also, oil leaks
on the floor each time a vat is drained.
1-12
If the pump motor overheats, the thermal overload 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,
thus overheating 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,
or
• Attempting to filter unheated oil or
shortening.
Cold oil and shortening are more viscous,
causing the pump motor to load up and overheat.
If the motor runs but the pump does not, there is
a blockage in the pump. Incorrectly sized or
installed paper/pads will allow food particles and
sediment to pass through the filter pan and into
the pump. When sediment enters the pump, the
gears bind, causing the motor to overload, again
tripping the thermal overload. Shortening that
has solidified in the pump will also cause it to
seize, with the same result.
A pump seized by debris or hard shortening can
usually be freed by manually moving the gears
with a screwdriver or other instrument.
Disconnect power to the filter system.
Remove the input plumbing from the pump.

Freeing a seized pump.
Use a screwdriver to manually turn the gears, in which:
● Turning the pump gears in reverse will release a hard particle.
● Turning the pump gears forward will push softer objects and solid shortening through the
pump and allow free movement of the gears.
Incorrectly sized or installed paper/pads will also allow food particles and sediment to pass through
and clog the suction tube on the bottom of the filter carriage. Particles large enough to block the
suction tube may indicate that the crumb tray is not being used.
Pan blockage can also occur if shortening is left in the pan and allowed to solidify. The heater strip
on the suction tube is designed to prevent residual shortening from solidifying in the tube. Heater
strips do not prevent residual shortening from solidifying in the pan.
Blockage removal can be accomplished by forcing the item out with an auger or drain snake.
Compressed air or other pressurized gases should not be used to force out the blockage.
For FootPrint III systems built before October, 1999, all heater tapes are wired directly into the line
VAC source (see wiring diagram, page 1-15). They remain energized as long as the unit is plugged
in. In systems built in October, 1999 and later, oil return line heater tapes have been eliminated. In
these units, the only heater tape used is on the suction tube and pump. This tape is still wired
directly into the line voltage. A pair of vacuum-breaking solenoids is wired into the 24 VAC circuit.
The redesigned FPIII is distinguished from the original design by the absence of casters on the filter
base assembly. The redesign incorporated an improved oil return system that allows oil/shortening
to drain back to the filter pan when the filter system is turned off, eliminating the need for most
heated oil return components.

1.11 Basket Lift Service Procedures
H14/H17/H22 Series fryers may optionally be equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure
uniform cooking times. Basket lifts will always come in pairs, although each operates
independently.
All electric fryers are equipped with “modular” basket lifts.
A modular basket lift (illustrated below) consists of a toothed rod to which the basket lift arm is
attached, a reversible-drive gear motor, and a pair of roller-activated microswitches. The gear motor
engages the teeth in the rod, moving it up or down, depending upon the direction of rotation of the
motor. Microswitches at the upper and lower limits of movement stop the motor when the basket is
in the full up or full down position.
Timing circuitry in the controller initiates and stops basket lift operation depending upon the
variables programmed by the operator. When the product button is pressed, the timing circuitry
activates a coil in the basket lift relay to supply power to the lower microswitch. The microswitches
stop the motor at the lift’s upper and lower travel limits and reverse the direction of current flow thus
reversing the motor direction.

When the product button is pushed on the computer/controller, current flows through a coil
in the basket lift relay, causing the lower circuit to be activated. The basket lift lowers,
closing the normally open upper-micro-switch. When the lower normally closed microswitch is opened by the downward moving lift rod, power to the motor ceases to flow.
When the computer/controller times-out, the current to the relay coil is cut, allowing the
upper circuit to be activated. The basket lift then raises and re-closes the lower microswitch. When the basket lift rod clears the upper micro-switch, the micro-switch reopens
and power to the circuit is cut and the motor stops. Pushing the product button restarts the
cycle.
Problems with the modular basket lift design can be grouped into three categories:
●
Binding/jamming problems
● Motor and gear problems
Electronics problems
●
1-18
BINDING/JAMMING PROBLEMS
Noisy, jerky or erratic movement of the lifts is usually due to lack of lubrication of the rods and their
bushings. Apply a light coat of Lubriplate® or similar lightweight white grease to the rod and
bushings to correct the problem.
With the modular basket lift, another possible cause of binding is improper positioning of the motor,
which prevents the gear from correctly engaging the teeth in the rod. To correct the problem, loosen
the screws that hold the motor in place and move it forward or backward until the rod has just
enough slack to be rotated slightly.
MOTOR AND GEAR PROBLEMS
With the modular basket lift, the most likely problem to be encountered in this category is erratic
motion of the lift due to a worn drive gear. Failure to keep the lift rod and bushings properly
lubricated will cause unnecessary wear of the gear. The problem is corrected by replacing the worn
gear.
If the lift cycles correctly but fails to remain in the up position (i.e., goes up, but then slowly settles
back down into the frypot), the problem is a failed motor brake. A failed motor brake cannot be
repaired and requires replacement of the motor itself.
If power is reaching the motor but the motor fails to run, the motor is burned out and must be
replaced.
ELECTRONICS PROBLEMS
Within this category are problems associated with the relays, microswitches, capacitors, resistors,
interface board, wiring, and controls. The most common problem in this category is a lift that
continuously travels up and down. This is usually caused by a microswitch that is out of adjustment.
Troubleshooting the electronics of a modular-type basket lift is simply a process of verifying current
flow through the individual components up to and including the motor. Using a multimeter set to the
250 VAC range, check the connections on both sides of the component for the presence of the
applied line voltage. The accompanying simplified wiring diagrams identify the components and
wiring connection points.
