Common Questions from the Field

How do I identify if the 1740 PLA090 is the correct agitator for my unit?
Confirm your dispenser uses the red impeller and 3587 magnetic drive. This cover is commonly found in Grindmaster Crathco Classic and G-Cool series units where the 1740 part number is specified in the manual.

What causes a Crathco agitator to stop spinning?
Failure is often due to wear on the pump cover housing or calcification buildup. If the internal magnets are intact but the agitator assembly wobbles, replacing the PLA090 restores the necessary tolerances for smooth rotation.

Is this pump cover compatible with high-viscosity liquids?
Yes, this aftermarket pump cover is designed to facilitate the circulation of standard juices, teas, and concentrates, ensuring the beverage dispenser pump maintains consistent flow regardless of sugar content.
