What PROB
actually means.
Type 1 controllers, the ones with separate green and red push buttons, show PROB where later controllers show open. The controller has no signal from the floor thermocouple, so it cannot run the underfloor burner to a set point.

What to do when PROB shows on the pizza ovenKind of codeTemperature 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 toPizza 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 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 PROB on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the oven off and let the floor cool.
Note whether PROB appeared right after work was done under the oven, since a disturbed plug is the likeliest cause.
Book a visit so the connections on the controller and in the junction box under the oven can be checked before a thermocouple is ordered.

What not to do
PROB is not a request to reprogram the controller and has nothing to do with the dead band settings. It is also not FAIL, which points to the temperature module itself.

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.
