Check/Replace Filter Pan O-rings

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, use PPE when handling filter pan or filter pan lid.

To prevent oil leaking, and to keep filtering process operating properly, the filter pan O-rings should be inspected for nicks and tears at least every 3 months.

  1. Open the door, lift-up on the filter pan stop and pull-out the filter pan assembly, using the handle on the filter pan.

  2. Visually check 3 O-rings on filter pan tube for any cracks or breaks and replace, if necessary.

  3. To replace O-ring, use a small, flat-bladed screwdriver, pry up on the O-ring and pull off of end of tube. Roll new O-ring into notch on tube. Before pushing the filter pan back into position, lubricate the O-rings on the filter tube with fresh, cold oil.
