What LO
actually means.
The Type 4 controller shows LO instead of a number until the floor thermocouple reads 100 °F. A cold oven, or one just lit, shows it as a matter of course.

What to do when LO shows on the pizza ovenKind of codeMode, not a failure
No part of the oven has failed; the display is reporting a state someone chose or the oven entered on its own. A cool-down keeps the blowers turning after the heat is off until the cavity or the tunnel has dropped to a safe level, an energy save setting lets the decks sag between rushes, and a menu lock stops anyone on the line from changing the bake times. No part is needed: letting the cool-down run out, or the key sequence in the manual, brings the oven back.
Usually leads toNo repair
Light the oven as usual and give the floor time to warm; LO should give way to a number.
Shows up asPizza 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wood Stone's own guidance for LO on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Light the oven as usual and give the floor time to warm; LO should give way to a number.
If the dome flame is burning and LO stays for a long time, check that the flame height knob is not at its lowest mark.
If LO never clears on a hot oven, book a visit so the thermocouple and its wiring can be checked.
Cleared?
The code has left the display, the decks or the tunnel come up to the set heat and hold it through a full service, the belt keeps its speed and the blowers run steady, all with no part changed. If the same code returns within a week, or on the next busy night, say so when you book.
What not to do
LO is not a low-gas or low-flame warning. It is also not open, which means the sensor has no connection at all.

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.
