Middleby Marshall pizza oven display · also shown as Front belt jammed, FRONT BELT STALLED What to do when FRONT BELT JAMMED shows on the pizza oven ### Kind of code Conveyor belt and drive The belt stopped, slowed or lost track of its speed. Sometimes a pan, a lid or a clump of burnt cheese has jammed the belt against the frame; more often the drive motor is worn, a coupling or a chain has slipped, or the speed sensor no longer reports what the belt is doing, so the bake time on the display stops matching the pies. Clearing the belt path once the oven is off and cold is a fair first step; a motor that hums without turning or a belt that has stretched out of true is a visit. ### Usually leads to Conveyor oven belt and motor repair Conveyor oven belts, sprockets, drive motors, gearboxes and speed controls repaired, so pizzas ride through the tunnel at the set speed and never stall inside. ### 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 Middleby Marshall A Middleby Marshall conveyor call is about the line: how many pies came out right before the belt slowed, stalled or the crust went pale. ### Source Middleby Marshall PS638 electric and gas oven owner's operating and installation manual (74617 Rev G) PS638 (74617) and PS640 gas (60251 Rev J) print FRONT BELT JAMMED; X70G, X55G and X55GWB print FRONT BELT STALLED. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Middleby Marshall's own guidance for FRONT BELT JAMMED on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Turn the oven off and let it cool before reaching toward the belt. 02 Look along the front belt at both ends and inside the opening for a dropped pan, a screen or dough wrapped around a shaft, and remove it. 03 Restart the oven; on an X-Series press Dismiss and follow the prompts. 04 If the belt stays stopped with nothing in the way, book a visit: the belt breaker sits behind the control door and the drive may need attention. ### Still there?

Turn the oven off and let it cool before reaching toward the belt. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why did only the front belt stop on my Middleby Marshall? On split-belt ovens each belt has its own drive and its own message. Something caught on the front belt stops only that one, while the rear keeps running. ### Is FRONT BELT STALLED on an X55 the same as FRONT BELT JAMMED? Yes. The X-Series uses the word stalled for the same event: the belt was overloaded and the control stopped it. ### What if there is nothing blocking the front belt? The PS640 manual says to call for service when no obstruction is found. The chain, sprocket or drive motor is then the likely cause. --- **[Read on the site: Middleby Marshall FRONT BELT JAMMED: the front conveyor has been stopped](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/error-codes/middleby-marshall-front-belt-jammed/)** **[Book a visit with PizzaOvenRepair.center](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
