What Cavity Probe Error
actually means.
Every Blodgett combi and HydroVection control bases its heat decisions on one cavity probe. If that probe claims the oven is colder than freezing or hotter than 575°F, the reading is impossible for normal use, so the control posts Cavity Probe Error and stops trusting it. A cracked probe, a pinched lead or a loose plug at the relay board are the usual reasons.

What to do when Cavity Probe Error shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeSensors and probes
A probe is handing the controller a reading it cannot trust, or none at all: a box or coil sensor torn loose from its clip, a fryer probe coated in carbon from oil left too long between filterings, a combi core probe with a kinked cable, or a connector gone green from steam and cleaning chemicals. The unit then runs on, stops, or shuts the heat or the cooling off to protect itself. Letting it cool and restarting it as the manual describes is fair; a probe that still reads wrong sits behind a panel, and that is a visit.

A Blodgett visit tends to land early in the morning, before the first sheet pans go in and while the cavity is still cold.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Blodgett's own guidance for Cavity Probe Error on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the oven off at the control and wait for it to cool before swinging the door fully open.
Hold or move product that was mid-cook and check it with a thermometer before serving.
Power the oven up once more; a message that stays points to the probe or its wiring, which a technician tests against a resistance chart, so arrange a service call.

What not to do
Cavity Probe Error is a sensing problem, not a heating one; the burners or elements may be fine. A real overheat reports as Cavity High Temp Error instead.
