1.10 Built-in Filter System Service Procedures
Troubleshooting Built-In Filtration Systems
One of the most common errors is placing the filter paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than
over the filter screen.
CAUTION
Ensure that the paper support screen is in place prior to filter paper placement and
filter pump operation. Improper screen placement is the major cause of filter system
malfunction.
Whenever the complaint is "the pump is running, but no oil is being filtered", check the installation
of the filter paper, and ensure that the correct size is being used. While you are checking the filter
paper, verify that the O-rings on the supply line connection are present and in good condition.
Missing or worn O-rings allow the pump to take in air, decreasing its efficiency. In addition, oil
leaks into the fryer and on the floor each time a frypot is filtered.
Remove contactor-mounting screws after removing
all wiring from the contactor (circles).

ULTIMATE ELECTRIC SERIES FRYERS
CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES
1-12
1.10 Built-in Filter System Service Procedures (cont.)
If the pump motor overheats, a circuit breaker will trip and the motor will not start until the breaker
is reset. If the pump motor does not start, press the white reset button located under the component
box, inside the cabinet.
If the pump starts after resetting the breaker, then something is causing the motor to overheat. A
major cause of overheating is when several frypots are filtered sequentially, thus overheating the
pump and motor. Allow the pump motor to cool at least 30 minutes before resuming operation, and
allow time for the motor to cool between sequential frypot filtering.
Pump overheating can be caused by:
• Solidified shortening in the pan or filter lines,
or
• Attempting to filter unheated oil or shortening.
Cold oil and shortening are more viscous, causing the pump motor to load up and overheat. Always
filter with the oil or shortening at operating temperature [~350°F (177°C)].
If the motor runs but the pump does not, there is a blockage in the pump. Incorrectly sized or
installed paper/pads will allow food particles and sediment to pass through the filter pan and into the
pump. When sediment enters the pump, the gears bind, causing the motor to overload, again
tripping the thermal overload. Shortening that has solidified in the pump will also cause it to seize,
with the same result.
A pump seized by debris or hard shortening must be disassembled, cleaned, and then reassembled
before continuing use. Use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect power to the filter system.
2. Remove the front cover of the pump to access the gears inside (see illustration below- 8-GPM
pump shown), if the pump is accessible while still inside the cabinet.
Remove bolts to remove
pump cover. Remove debris or hardened
shortening to free gears.

ULTIMATE ELECTRIC SERIES FRYERS
CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES
1-13
1.10 Built-in Filter System Service Procedures (cont.)
3. If the front cover is not accessible, the pump must be removed from the pump motor (remove
input/output plumbing from the pump prior to removing pump). Remove three setscrews from
the pump-shaft housing to disengage the pump from the motor. Remove the gears and
thoroughly clean all internal components. Ensure the inside of the pump housing is free of any
debris or hardened shortening before reassembling. Failure to completely clean the inside
housing and ring gear will cause gear binding after reassembly.
Filter paper/pads that are the wrong size or installed incorrectly will also allow food particles and
sediment to pass through and clog the suction tube in the bottom of the filter pan. Particles large
enough to block the suction tube may indicate that the crumb tray is not being used.
1.11 Basket Lift Service Procedures
Ultimate Electric Series fryers may optionally be equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure
uniform cooking times. Electric fryers can be equipped with "modular" or "bell-crank" basket lifts.
A modular basket lift (illustrated) consists
of a toothed rod to which the basket lift arm
is attached, a reversible-drive gear motor
and a pair of roller-activated microswitches.
The gear motor engages the teeth in the rod,
moving it up or down, depending upon the
direction of rotation of the motor.
Microswitches at the upper and lower limits
of movement stop the motor when the
basket is in the full up or full down position.
Timing circuitry in the controller initiates
and stops basket lift operation depending
upon the variables programmed by the
operator. When the product button is
pressed, or the manual control is activated,
the timing circuitry activates a coil in the
basket lift relay to supply power to the lower
microswitch. The microswitches stop the
motor at the lift’s upper and lower travel
limits and reverse the direction of current
flow thus reversing the motor direction.

When the product button is pushed on the computer/controller, current flows through a coil in the
basket lift relay, causing the lower circuit to be activated. The basket lift lowers, closing the
normally open upper-microswitch. When the lower normally closed microswitch is opened by the
downward moving lift rod, power to the motor ceases to flow. When the computer/controller times-
out, the current to the relay coil is interrupted, allowing the upper circuit to be activated. The basket
lift then raises and closes the lower microswitch. When the basket lift rod clears the upper
microswitch, the microswitch opens, and power to the circuit is interrupted, stopping the motor.
Pushing the product button or activating the manual control (if equipped) restarts the cycle.
Problems with the modular basket lift design can be grouped into three categories:
●Binding/jamming problems
●Motor and gear problems
●Electronics problems

ULTIMATE ELECTRIC SERIES FRYERS
CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES
1-15
1.11 Basket Lift Service Procedures (cont.)
BINDING/JAMMING PROBLEMS
Noisy, jerky or erratic movement of the lifts is usually due to lack of lubrication of the rods and their
bushings. Apply a light coat of Lubriplate or similar lightweight white grease to the rod and
bushings to correct the problem.
With the modular basket lift, another possible cause of binding is improper positioning of the motor,
which prevents the gear from correctly engaging the teeth in the rod. To correct the problem, loosen
the screws that hold the motor in place and move it forward or backward until the rod has just
enough slack to be rotated slightly.
MOTOR AND GEAR PROBLEMS
With the modular basket lift, the most likely problem to be encountered in this category is erratic
motion of the lift due to a worn drive gear. Failure to keep the lift rod and bushings properly
lubricated will cause unnecessary wear of the gear. The problem is corrected by replacing the worn
gear.
If the lift cycles correctly but fails to remain in the up position (i.e., goes up, but then slowly settles
back down into the frypot), the problem is a failed motor brake. The motor must be replaced.
If power is reaching the motor but the motor fails to run, the motor is burned out and must be
replaced.
ELECTRONICS PROBLEMS
Within this category are problems associated with the relays, microswitches, capacitors, resistors,
interface board, wiring, and controls. The most common problem in this category is a lift that
continuously travels up and down. This is usually caused by a microswitch that is out of adjustment.
Troubleshooting the electronics of a modular-type basket lift is simply a process of verifying current
flow through the individual components up to and including the motor. Using a multimeter set to the
250 VAC range, check the connections on both sides of the component for the presence of the
applied line voltage. The accompanying simplified wiring diagrams identify the components and
wiring connection points.
