    Why Pitco Desktop unit will not heat or controller displays “HEAT FAIL ”?
    • J
      James BowenAug 23, 2025
      If your Pitco Desktop unit won't heat and the controller displays “HEAT FAIL,” it could be due to a few reasons: * The float switch might be stuck in the down position. * The hi-limit switch may have tripped. * The controller might be turned off. To fix this, ensure the float switch isn't stuck and that there is enough oil in the tank, reset the hi-limit switch, and turn the controller on.

    How to fix Pitco Desktop pump that runs but no oil is returning to the tank?
    • C
      christinejohnsonAug 28, 2025
      If the Pitco Desktop pump runs but no oil returns to the tank, possible causes include: * The filter pan is not installed properly. * The filter paper is clogged with debris. * The strainer cap is clogged with debris. * There are damaged or missing strainer cap or pickup block O-rings. * There is a clog in pump suction or return lines. * The pressure relief valve needs adjusting. To resolve this, properly install the filter pan, change the filter paper, remove and clean the strainer cap, replace the O-rings, remove any clogs, and adjust the pressure relief valve on the pump head.

    What does it mean when Pitco SELVRF Desktop display shows “BLOCKED DRAIN ”?
    • S
      Stephanie JohnsonSep 12, 2025
      If the Pitco Desktop display shows “BLOCKED DRAIN,” it indicates that the drain tried to close but was not sensed as closed by the controller. To fix this, remove any tools or debris from the drain. The drain will automatically attempt to close again after 10 seconds of the error appearing.
