A.Improperly installed filter pan components.

Filter pump runs, but oil return is very slow and bubbling oil comes out of the Power Shower.

B.Attempting to filter with oil or shortening that is not hot enough.

A.Missing or worn Power Shower gasket.

Power Shower not
spraying properly.	B. Clogged openings in Power
	Shower frame.

Corrective Action

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.

A.Verify that filter screen is in bottom of pan with paper top of screen.

Verify that o-rings are present and in good condition on filter pan connection fitting.

B.In order to properly filter, the oil or shortening should be at or near 350ºF (177ºC). At temperatures lower than this, the oil becomes too thick to pass through the filter medium easily, resulting in much slower oil return and eventual overheating of the filter pump motor. Make sure oil is at or near frying temperature before draining oil into filter pan.

A.Verify that the gasket is present and in good condition.

B.If the Power Shower is not cleaned on a routine basis, sediment will eventually block the small holes around the edges of the frame. Also, when using solid shortening, if the Power Shower is not allowed to drain completely, the shortening will solidify in the holes and may fill the frame. Completely drain the Power Shower after each filtering and clean regularly in accordance with the instructions in Chapter 5 of this manual.
