Conveyor and rapid-cook pizza ovens bake with moving air: impingement blowers push hot air through rows of fingers or plates above and below the pizza, and a separate cooling fan keeps the control compartment from overheating. When a blower motor's bearings wear, its speed drops and it begins to grind or squeal; when its wheel collects grease and flour it moves less air; and when fingers are clogged or put back in the wrong order, some lanes get strong jets and others almost none. A cooling fan that stops, or a filter that is packed with dust, lets the board overheat, and the oven shuts down or shows a code. The technician, with the oven off and cold, runs each blower and cooling fan separately, listens to the bearings, checks the wheel and the motor's current draw, and inspects the fingers and their plates. Worn blower motors and bearings are replaced, wheels cleaned or changed, cooling fans and filters renewed, and the fingers cleaned and set in the maker's order. The oven is then heated and a test bake is run across the belt to confirm even color from one side to the other. How the visit goes ### What it usually costs Moderate · Impingement blower motor, bearings or wheel, cooling fan, filter or air fingers A new cooling fan filter and a clean of the fingers is the small end. A cooling fan or blower bearings are a step up, and a complete blower motor with its wheel is the largest part in this group. ### Answers 4 problems Conveyor Oven Uneven Bake Across the Belt or From End to End Burning or Hot Wiring Smell From an Electric Pizza Oven · Pizza Oven Error Code on a Deck, Conveyor or Rapid-Cook Display · Pizza Oven Not Getting Hot Enough to Bake a Crisp Crust ### Comes up most on Conveyor and rapid-cook pizza oven ### Codes that lead here SENSOR OPEN · MAIN BLOWER ERROR · CLEAN FILTERS · CONTROL OVERTEMP Middleby Marshall SENSOR OPEN: the oven cannot prove its blowers are running. ## Pizza oven blower and fan repair, step by step.

A grinding or squealing sound usually comes from worn blower motor bearings or a blower wheel rubbing its housing. It should be looked at soon, because a seized blower stops the airflow and can overheat the oven. ### How often should the air fingers be cleaned? In a busy pizzeria, often weekly, depending on volume and what is baked. Clogged fingers are one of the most common reasons for uneven baking across the belt. ### Does the cooling fan really matter if the oven still bakes? Yes. It keeps the control compartment cool, and when it stops the board and motors overheat and the oven can shut down mid-shift. Keeping its filter clean is a quick way to avoid that. --- **[Read on the site: Pizza Oven Blower and Fan Repair | PizzaOvenRepair.center](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/services/pizza-oven-blower-and-fan-repair/)** **[Book a visit with PizzaOvenRepair.center](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
