Replacing the Filter Pump and Motor

The 2 most common causes for a fryer not to pump oil are that the pump is clogged, or the thermal overload switch has been tripped on the motor. The pump and motor is located on the rear of the fryer.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect power.

Removing Debris from Pump

1. Loosen the four Allen head screws on the end of pump and remove the cover. (Removing the bottom rear panel may help in accessing the set screws.)

   

   NOTICE -

   Removing rotor will break filter pump body internal seal. To prevent product damage, DO NOT remove rotor from pump body.

2. The inside is now exposed leaving a rotor and five Teflon rollers. Clean the rotor and rollers.

   NOTICE -

   For proper operation, align the indicators on each half of the pump.

3. To reassemble, place rotor on drive shaft, and place roller into rotor.

   NOTE: A small amount of grease might be needed to hold the bottom roller into place until cover plate is put on. Make sure O-ring is in proper position on plate.

If the switch is found to be defective, replace it by connecting the wires to it (as labeled) and push new switch into place.

Resetting Thermal Overload Switch

1. Locate the pump and motor in the rear of the fryer and if the motor is hot, allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.

   

2. Since it takes some effort to reset the switch, use a tool, such as a crosshead screwdriver, to press against the reset button until a “click” is heard.

Removing the Motor

1. Remove the rear panel and the right side panel.

   

2. Using a 5/8” wrench, loosen the front, flexible line fitting, on the pump.

   

3. Using a 1 inch wrench, loosen the rear pump fitting.

   

4. Using crosshead screwdriver, remove the rear cover from motor, exposing the wires.

5. Loosen the conduit clamp and pull the wires through the conduit clamp.

   

6. Using a 7/16 inch wrench, remove the four bolts securing the motor to the motor bracket and pull the pump and motor assembly from fryer.

7. Pull pump and motor out from front of fryer across the JIB shelf.

Removing the Pump

The following procedure only applies to units manufactured prior to September 2018. For units manufactured after September 2018, entire pump assembly must be replaced.

1. Using a 1/2 inch wrench, remove the two bolts securing the pump to the motor and pull the pump from the motor.

2. Install a new seal kit (part no. 17476) onto shaft of motor.

3. Align the shaft of the motor with the rotor on the inside of the pump and push pump onto shaft of motor.

4. Secure the pump onto the motor with the two bolts.
