FILTER SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEMSOLUTION
Pump does not start when the return line valve (yellow handle) on the fryer is opened.
1.Make sure the power cord is plugged into the receptacle in the cabinet and the main power cord from the system is plugged into the appropriate power supply.
2.Turn the switch on the side of the filter to “ON”.
3.Close the return line valve (yellow handle) and try opening the return line valve on another fryer. If the pump starts, the problem is with the microswitch that contacts the return line valve on the first fryer.
4.If pump still hasn’t started, depress the thermal overload button on the bottom of the motor. If the motor is hot to the touch, wait at least 45 minutes before trying this.
5.If the pump starts and stops again in a short time, or if it hums but does not pump, there is a restriction somewhere in the filter screen or in the pump itself. Go to Step 6. If there is no reaction from the pump, go to step 7.
6.Allow the oil/shortening in the filter pan to cool, then empty the pan and verify that the filter paper and screen assembly is assembled correctly. Disassemble the filter screen and look for blockages of sediment or solid shortening within.
7.Problem is with the motor/pump or the wiring. Remove the motor from the filter and bench test by connecting a 120V line to the motor leads. If it runs, the problem is with the wiring between the motor and the power supply. If it does not run, the motor needs to be replaced.
Filtering procedure is very slow. Shorten- ing/oil returning to the fryer very slow.
1.After all the shortening/oil has been pumped back into the fryer, inspect the filter paper envelope. Make sure that any excess sediment is removed from the top of the filter paper envelope.
2.If the filter paper envelope is dirty or torn, disassemble the filter screen assembly. Inspect for blockages in the lines. Replace with a clean filter paper envelope.
Fryers do not
WARNING
Only use filter paper envelopes from Anetsberger Brothers that have been specifically designed for this filter system. Using the wrong type of filter paper can cause damage to the pump system, and will void the warranty.
3.If the oil still returns to the fryer slowly, the problem may be a blockage within the pump itself. The pump section of the motor can be easily disassembled to look for blockages of sediment or solid shortening within.
1.Make sure the door on the fryer is completely closed.
2.Reset the ON/OFF switch on the fryer by flipping to OFF position and
then back to ON. (Note: Each time the fryer door is opened the ON/OFF switch needs to be reset.
