# Middleby Marshall RESET IGNITION: the gas burner did not light or went out

Each time a Middleby Marshall gas conveyor starts, it purges the chamber with the blower, sparks the burner and proves the flame.

## What RESET IGNITION actually means.

Each time a Middleby Marshall gas conveyor starts, it purges the chamber with the blower, sparks the burner and proves the flame. If that sequence ends without a steady flame, the X-Series shows RESET IGNITION. The manual gives three causes: gas not turned on to the oven, gas pressure too low and a burner that has stopped running.

What to do when RESET IGNITION 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 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 RESET IGNITION on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press Dismiss and follow the prompts on the screen.

02

Make sure the manual gas valve on the supply to the oven is open, as it may have been shut for cleaning or after a delivery.

03

Turn the oven off and back on to clear the message and let it run its own relight sequence; do not try to light the burner any other way.

04

If RESET IGNITION returns, or you smell gas at any point, turn the oven off, close the gas supply and book a visit; a gas smell means leaving the area and calling the gas utility from outside.

### Still there?

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

### What not to do

RESET IGNITION is not a temperature sensor report; the probes have their own messages, PROBE # OPEN and ALL PROBES OPEN. An oven that lights but never reaches its set point shows HEATING ERROR instead.

## Questions about RESET IGNITION.

### Can I clear RESET IGNITION myself?

Press Dismiss and follow the prompts on the screen. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How many times does a Middleby Marshall conveyor try to relight?

The PS638 manual describes three spark and purge cycles before the ignition locks out. After that, turning the oven off and on starts the full sequence again.

### Why does my Middleby Marshall X55 show RESET IGNITION every morning?

A gas valve left closed overnight is the simplest reason. If the valve is open and it still happens, low gas pressure or a worn igniter or flame sensor is likely, and that needs a technician.

### Is RESET IGNITION dangerous on a Middleby Marshall?

The oven shuts the gas when it cannot prove a flame, which is what it is designed to do. Any smell of gas changes that: close the supply, leave the area and call the gas utility from outside.
