PROBLEM
Pump does not
start when the
switch is activated. 1. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the proper 120 Volt receptacle. i
2. Turn the switch on the front of the filter to “ON”.
3. If the 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 15 minutes
before trying this.
4. 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 5. If there is no reaction from the pump, go to step 6.
5. 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.
6. 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. If solid shortening is being used allow HOT oil to recirculate through the lines
long enough to ensure that all solidified shortening has melted.
2. 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.
3. 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.

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.
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.
