The front belt motor control on a CTX measures how hard its motor is pulling. A load above the limit for 5 seconds triggers MC1_HIGH_CURRENT. The manual is unusual here: it asks the operator to clear anything jamming the conveyor before acknowledging, so a dropped pan, a folded wrapper or a bent belt link should be ruled out first. Middleby Marshall commercial appliance display · also shown as MC1_HIGH_CURRENT, MC2_HIGH_CURRENT What to do when MC1_HIGH_CURRENT shows on the commercial appliance ### Kind of code Motors and drives Something that should turn is not turning, or not at the speed the controller expects. A washer-extractor's drive or its inverter may stop the spin when the load is out of balance or a bearing drags, a tumbler's belt may slip so the drum barely moves, a convection or combi fan may slow on worn bearings and bake unevenly, and a dish machine's wash pump may hum without spraying. Redistributing a load, confirming the door is latched and running the machine's own test cycle are fair; a drum, a belt or a motor is a visit, and nobody reaches into a drum that could still move. ### Usually leads to Commercial laundry machine repair Coin, card and on-premise laundry machines and tumblers: door locks, bearings, inverters, burners and payment hardware. ### 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 Middleby Marshall Middleby Marshall ovens on this site are the kitchen's non-pizza baking and roasting work; pizza service calls belong to our pizza oven site. ### Source Middleby Marshall CTX DZ26T, DZ33T and DZ55T infrared conveyor oven owner's operating and installation manual (Rev G) CTX DZ26T, DZ33T and DZ55T infrared conveyor ovens with the touch screen (manual Rev G).

Each step comes from Middleby Marshall's own guidance for MC1_HIGH_CURRENT on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Let the oven cool enough to work safely at the belt ends, and look for pans, paper or food caught in the belt or at the frame. 02 Remove the obstruction without reaching into the hot heating chamber. 03 Acknowledge the message and watch the belt run a full turn. 04 If MC1_HIGH_CURRENT returns on a clear belt, book a visit; a tight chain, a dry bearing or a failing motor makes it strain. ### Still there?

Let the oven cool enough to work safely at the belt ends, and look for pans, paper or food caught in the belt or at the frame. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What usually jams a CTX conveyor belt? Pans slipping off the belt edge, parchment or wrappers, and belt links bent by heavy trays. Check both ends of the conveyor before calling it a motor problem. ### Why does MC1_HIGH_CURRENT come back on my CTX even with a clear belt? Then the drag is in the drive itself, such as a bearing, the chain or the motor. That needs a visit. ### Does MC2_HIGH_CURRENT on a CTX mean the same thing? Yes, for the rear belt. The manual groups the two and gives one remedy: clear the belt, acknowledge, and get service if it repeats. --- **[Read on the site: Middleby Marshall MC1_HIGH_CURRENT: the CTX front belt motor is working too hard](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/middleby-marshall-mc1-high-current/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
