# Middleby Marshall PROBE # OPEN: one temperature probe has stopped reading

X-Series conveyors read the chamber with more than one temperature probe.

## What PROBE # OPEN actually means.

X-Series conveyors read the chamber with more than one temperature probe. When one of them opens, the display shows PROBE followed by its number and OPEN, and an alarm sounds. The control makes up for the lost probe with the remaining ones, so the oven can carry on while service is arranged.

What to do when PROBE # OPEN shows on the pizza oven

### Kind of code Temperature and sensors

A probe is handing the controller a reading it cannot believe, or none at all: a deck or tunnel sensor coated in baked-on flour and grease, its lead chafed or scorched where it passes the heat, or a connector loosened by years of doors slamming. The oven then runs hot, stalls short of its setting or shuts the heat off to protect itself. Letting the oven cool and restarting it is reasonable; a sensor that still reads wrong sits behind a panel, and that is a visit.

### Usually leads to Pizza oven thermostat and control repair

Thermostats calibrated or replaced, probes, timers, boards and displays repaired, so the pizza oven holds the temperature the cooks set and shows the right number.

### 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.

## Before you book, in this order.

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

01

Press Dismiss and carry on with service; the control compensates for the missing probe.

02

Write down the probe number on the screen.

03

Watch the bake more closely than usual, and book a visit to replace the probe before a second one fails.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [pizza oven thermostat and control repair](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/services/pizza-oven-thermostat-and-control-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

One open probe is a warning, not a shutdown. If every probe is lost, the message changes to ALL PROBES OPEN and the oven needs immediate repair.

## Questions about PROBE # OPEN.

### Can I clear PROBE # OPEN myself?

Press Dismiss and carry on with service; the control compensates for the missing probe. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Can I keep using my Middleby Marshall with PROBE # OPEN?

The manual says to dismiss it and resume, because the control compensates for the lost probe. Book the repair anyway, since the oven now has less to go on.

### What does the number in PROBE # OPEN mean?

It identifies which thermocouple has failed. Giving that number when you book saves the technician time finding the right one.

### Why do my pizzas bake differently since PROBE # OPEN appeared?

With one probe gone, the control is estimating that part of the chamber. A small shift in color from one side is possible until the probe is replaced.
