Problems with the basket lift system can be grouped into three categories:
• Binding/jamming problems
• Motor problems
• Electronics problems
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 bush-
ings to correct the problem.
Motor Problems
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. A failed motor brake cannot be
repaired and requires replacement of the motor itself.
If power is reaching the motor but the motor fails to run, the motor is burned out and must be
replaced.
Electrical Problems
This category encompasses problems with the relays, microswitches, wiring, and controls.
Troubleshooting the electronics of basket lifts 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 120 VAC.
The wiring diagram on the following page identifies the components and wiring connection points.
