SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SOLUTION
1. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the receptacle in the cabinet and the
main power cord from the system is plugged into the appropriate power supply.
2. Turn the switch on the side of the filter to “ON”.
3. Close the return line valve (yellow handle) and try opening the return line valve
on another fryer. If the pump starts, the problem is with the micro switch that
contacts the return line valve on the first fryer.
4. If 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 45 minutes before trying
this.
5. 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 6. If there is no reaction from the pump, go to step 7.
6. 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.
7. 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
1. Make sure the door on the fryer is completely closed.
2. Reset the ON/OFF switch on the fryer by flipping to OFF position and
then back to ON. (Note: Each time the fryer door is opened the ON/OFF
switch needs to be reset.
FILTER
PROBLEM
Pump does not
start when the
return line valve
(yellow handle) on
the fryer is opened.
Filtering procedure is
very slow. Shorten-
ing/oil returning to the
fryer very slow.
Fryers do not re-fire
after filtering.
WARNING
Only use filter paper envelopes from Anets 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.
