Expert Review

Expert Review
Hearing a grinding sound or feeling some resistance when the rotor on your CU489 fryer is turning? Nine times out of ten, a worn slide bearing is the culprit. This little part takes a lot of stress, and swapping it out is a smart, preventative fix. It’s a straightforward job for an engineer that'll get your machine running smoothly again and prevent a much costlier motor failure down the line.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the fryer from the mains before installation.
- Ensure the new bearing is correctly aligned before securing.
- Inspect adjacent components for wear during the repair.
- Test for smooth, unrestricted rotor movement post-installation.
