# Blodgett Cooling Fan Probe Error: the control cannot read its electronics temperature

Blodgett combis protect their controls with a cooling fan and a probe that tracks the temperature around it.

## What Cooling Fan Probe Error actually means.

Blodgett combis protect their controls with a cooling fan and a probe that tracks the temperature around it. If that probe reports a value outside its believable range, the control posts Cooling Fan Probe Error. The oven then has no way to know whether its own electronics are overheating.

What to do when Cooling Fan Probe Error shows on the commercial appliance

### Kind of code Sensors 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.

### Usually leads to Commercial controls and board repair

Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so.

### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display

A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

### Make Blodgett

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

### Source Blodgett MenuSelect BC20 control service guide

Blodgett BC-20 combi ovens with the MenuSelect control (MenuSelect BC20 service guide). The same probe message appears on the combi and HydroVection error codes sheet.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Blodgett's own guidance for Cooling Fan Probe Error on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Leave open space around the control side so its cooling fan can breathe, and wipe grease off any vents you can reach from outside.

02

Restart the oven one time and watch whether the message returns.

03

Arrange service if it does; the probe is behind the control panel.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [commercial controls and board repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-controls-and-board-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

This message is about the electronics cooling, not the cooking cavity or the core probe. A fan motor that is not reaching speed reports Fan Error instead.

## What you may notice with it.

The commercial appliance problem Cooling Fan Probe Error tends to arrive with. Answer these at the commercial appliance before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Cooling Fan Probe Error.

### Can I clear Cooling Fan Probe Error myself?

Leave open space around the control side so its cooling fan can breathe, and wipe grease off any vents you can reach from outside. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Is it safe to use a Blodgett combi with Cooling Fan Probe Error?

Use it cautiously if at all, because the oven cannot watch its own control temperature. Book the repair soon.

### What is the cooling fan probe on a Blodgett?

A temperature probe near the control cooling fan. Blodgett's diagnostic menu lists it as a separate input from the cavity, quench and core probes.

### Does Cooling Fan Probe Error on a Blodgett affect cooking?

Not directly, but it removes a safety check on the electronics.
