Frymaster RE80 manual Disconnect flexlines indicated by the arrows

Disconnect power to the filter system, remove the input plumbing from the pump, and use a screwdriver to manually turn the gears.

●Turning the pump gears in reverse will release a hard particle.

●Turning the pump gears forward will push softer objects and solid shortening through the pump and allow free movement of the gears.

Incorrectly sized or installed paper/pads will also allow food particles and sediment to pass through and clog the suction tube on the bottom of the filter pan. Particles large enough to block the suction tube may indicate that the crumb tray is not being used. Pan blockage can also occur if shortening is left in the pan and allowed to solidify. Blockage removal can be accomplished by forcing the item out with an auger or drain snake. Compressed air or other pressurized gases should not be used to force out the blockage.

1.9.2 Replacing the Filter Motor, Filter Pump, and Related Components

1. Drain the frypots into a Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) or other appropriate metal container.

DANGER

DO NOT drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the SDU at one time.

2.Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to both the front and rear.

3.Disconnect the two flexlines running to the oil-return manifold at the rear of the fryer as well as the pump suction flexline at the end of the filter pan connection (see photo below).

Disconnect flexlines indicated by the arrows.

4.Remove the cover plate from the front of the motor and disconnect the motor wires.

5.Unplug the pump motor assembly 6-pin connector C-2 and, using a pin pusher, disconnect the vent vacuum-breaker solenoid (pins 2 and 5) that is attached to the oil return manifold.
