The controller opens and closes the gas through a solenoid valve. Er7 appears when the connection to that valve is disconnected or broken during operation, so the controller can no longer command the gas. Fontana's fix is to check the valve's wiring or replace the valve. Fontana Forni pizza oven display · also shown as ER7 What to do when Er7 shows on the pizza oven ### Kind of code Ignition and flame The oven tried to light its burner and never proved a flame, or proved one and then lost it. The usual reasons are ordinary: a gas shutoff not fully open or a tank running dry, an igniter cracked or crusted with flour dust, a flame sensor or thermocouple that no longer reads the heat, or a draft that pulls the pilot away from it. Checking the shutoff and the tank and running the restart the manual names are fair first steps; if you smell gas, get outside first, and the valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician. ### Usually leads to Pizza oven burner and igniter repair Pizza oven burners cleared or replaced and igniters fitted and gapped, so the flame lights first time and burns blue and steady under the stone. ### Shows up as Pizza Oven Error Code on a Deck, Conveyor or Rapid-Cook Display A pizza oven error code shows as letters or numbers on the display of a conveyor, deck or rapid-cook oven, a flashing light on its panel, or a message about ignition, heat, belt or airflow. ### Make Fontana Forni A Fontana Forni visit leaves time for the door and the dial thermometer, two small parts that decide whether an owner trusts the fire at all. ### Source Fontana Forni Volta 70 and 90 manual, USA and Canada edition, troubleshooting error code table Volta 70 and Volta 90 smart gas ovens, USA and Canada manual. ## Before you book, in this order.

Hold the power button for three seconds to switch off, then close the valve on the propane cylinder. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I reset Er7 on my Fontana Volta and keep cooking? Clearing the code does not reconnect the valve. If Er7 returns on the next start, the oven should stay off until the valve wiring has been checked. ### What makes the valve wire on a Fontana Volta come loose? Heat cycles, vibration when the oven is moved on its cart and corrosion in damp weather can all loosen a connector. Fontana also asks that the display not sit in sun and rain for long periods. ### Does Er7 on my Volta mean gas is leaking? No, it reports a lost electrical connection to the valve. If you ever smell gas at the oven, close the tank, keep flames and switches away, move away and call the gas utility from a safe distance. --- **[Read on the site: Fontana Forni Er7: the Volta pizza oven lost contact with its gas valve](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/error-codes/fontana-forni-er7/)** **[Book a visit with PizzaOvenRepair.center](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
