What FRONT BELT COMM LOST
actually means.

On the X-Series each belt has a motor drive board fed through its own circuit breaker. If that breaker trips, the control loses contact with the board and shows FRONT or BACK BELT COMM LOST. The oven continues with the one working belt.

What to do when FRONT BELT COMM LOST shows on the pizza oven

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Middleby Marshall's own guidance for FRONT BELT COMM LOST on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press Dismiss and move orders to the belt that is still running.

02

With the oven off and cool, check the affected belt for anything that could have jammed it and tripped the breaker.

03

Resetting that breaker means working at the oven's control compartment, so book a visit to reset it and find out why it tripped.

What not to do

COMM LOST on a belt is not the display losing contact with the main board, which the X-Series calls I/O COMM LOST. It is also not a stalled belt, where the drive has power but the belt is blocked.

Questions
about FRONT BELT COMM LOST.

Can I clear FRONT BELT COMM LOST myself?
Press Dismiss and move orders to the belt that is still running. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does my Middleby Marshall X55 still bake with BELT COMM LOST showing?
The manual says the oven continues on a single belt when one drive board loses power. You can keep serving on the working lane until the repair.
What trips the belt breaker on a Middleby Marshall?
A jam that makes the motor work too hard is the usual reason, which is why the manual asks you to check the belt before resetting.
Is FRONT BELT COMM LOST a network problem?
No. It is the oven's control losing contact with the belt's drive board inside the oven, not anything to do with the internet.

Back to your everyday

Still showing FRONT BELT COMM LOST?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied as shown, the model and serial from the rating plate, and a note on whether the oven still lights, heats or moves its belt. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your oven the same day.
