Corrective Action

A. Verify that the power cord is fully plugged in. If so, verify that circuit breaker is not tripped.

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.

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.

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.
