Filter motors can be replaced independent of the filter pump or together as an assembly. The following instruction includes the separation of the filter pump from the filter motor.

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

   The condensation pan is not used on an open fryer, only a pressure fryer.

   A hard tube may be present on pump outlet if this is a newer build.

   

3. Use an adjustable wrench to remove pipe connections from one end of the pump motor.
