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.
1.11 Basket Lift Service Procedures 2836 Series Electric 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...
Simplified Schematic 1 or 4 Basket Lift Relay To computer/controller via interface board 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.
Page 16
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.
