What to do if the 'Service Required' light is on and the blower/fryer isn't working on my Wells Commercial Food Equipment?

  If the 'Service Required' red light is on and your Wells Commercial Food Equipment blower/fryer isn't operating, the HEPA and/or charcoal filters may be plugged, requiring replacement of both. Another cause could be an airflow vacuum switch issue; locate and fix the reason the switch is not working. Also, the vacuum tap on the blower fan housing might be plugged; clean it. If plugging continues, consider upgrading to a new-style fan housing. Finally, the airflow vacuum switch could be defective and need replacement.

  If the 'Replace Filters' amber light is lit but your Wells Commercial Food Equipment blower/fryer is operating normally, it indicates that the HEPA and/or charcoal filters are becoming plugged and should be replaced. Another possible cause is a restricted vacuum tap on the blower fan housing; try cleaning it, and if problems persist, upgrade to a new-style fan housing. Additionally, the service filters vacuum switch may be defective and need replacement.
