      If the pump stops during the filtering process, allow the filter unit to cool for at least 45 minutes, then press the motor thermal overload switch to reset it. Turn the filter pump off, let the oil cool, and empty the pan. Make sure the filter paper is clean and properly installed. Refill the pan and restart the process.

    What to do if Frymaster Water Filtration Systems oil is not being returned to frypot?
    • K
      Kathryn RobertsAug 4, 2025
      If oil isn't returning to the frypot, several issues could be the cause. First, the filter hose may be clogged with debris; clear the hose. Second, the filter paper might be clogged; scrape off excess sediment or replace the filter paper. Finally, the filter pan suction tube could be blocked; use a thin, flexible wire to unclog it.

    Why is Frymaster PF50 Water Filtration Systems pumping erratic?
    • T
      Taylor WeissAug 10, 2025
      Erratic pumping can occur if the filter paper isn't properly installed under the hold-down ring or if the filter hose connection isn't tight and secure. Verify these components to ensure proper functionality.

    How to prevent plugged lines in Frymaster PF50?
    • N
      Nicole OrtizAug 15, 2025
      To guard against plugged lines when using solid shortening, follow these guidelines: 1. Turn the Heater/Filter switch to HEATER and allow the heater to remain on for 20-30 minutes before attempting a filter cycle. 2. At the end of the filtering cycle, let the filter bubble into the fryer through the flexible hose for about 15-30 seconds. If it is blowing bubbles, air is moving through the lines and the filter is less likely to be plugged. 3. When filtering is complete, drain oil or shortening from the hose.

    How to fix plugged paper in Frymaster PF50?
    • F
      Francis OliverAug 22, 2025
      Plugged paper is usually caused by improper use of the filter powder. Review the instructions for the correct use of filter powder and change the filter paper more frequently. When filtering several fryers prior to changing paper, ensure that excess sediment is scraped off the filter paper after filtering each frypot.
