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
pump motor hums for a short time
and 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.
