Corrective Action
Filter pump runs
but oil does not
return to frypot and
there is no bubbling
oil.
Blockage in filter pan suction tube.
Test: Close the drain valve and pull 
the filter pan out from the fryer. 
Activate the pump. If bubbling oil 
occurs, 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.
