5. Installation
This section provides general guidance for installing the Blodgett 57658 Pilot Assembly Kit. Always consult the specific service manual for your Blodgett oven model for detailed, model-specific instructions and safety precautions.
- Vorbereitung:
- Turn off the main gas supply to the oven.
- Disconnect the electrical power supply to the oven.
- Allow the oven to cool completely if it has been in operation.
- Access the pilot assembly area, typically located near the main burner. This may require removing access panels.
- Removal of Old Pilot Assembly:
- Carefully disconnect the ignition wire from the igniter.
- Disconnect the gas line leading to the pilot burner.
- Disconnect the thermocouple/thermopile from the gas valve or control board.
- Unmount the old pilot assembly from its bracket. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new part.
- Installation of New Pilot Assembly:
- Mount the new Blodgett 57658 Pilot Assembly Kit onto the existing bracket, ensuring it is securely fastened and correctly oriented.
- Connect the gas line to the pilot burner. Use appropriate thread sealant if required and tighten connections securely.
- Connect the thermocouple/thermopile to the gas valve or control board. Ensure a snug connection for proper flame sensing.
- Connect the ignition wire to the igniter.
- Leak Test and Verification:
- Restore the main gas supply to the oven.
- Apply a gas leak detection solution to all new gas connections. Check for bubbles, which indicate a leak. If leaks are detected, turn off the gas supply, tighten connections, and re-test.
- Restore electrical power to the oven.
- Initiate an ignition cycle according to your oven's operating instructions to verify proper pilot ignition and main burner activation. Observe the pilot flame for stability and proper impingement on the thermocouple/thermopile.

6. Wartung
Regular inspection of the pilot assembly is crucial for continued safe and efficient operation of your Blodgett oven. Perform these checks as part of your routine oven maintenance schedule:
- Sichtprüfung: Periodically inspect the pilot assembly for signs of corrosion, carbon buildup, or physical damage.
- Pilotflammenprüfung: Ensure the pilot flame is stable, blue, and consistently impinges on the thermocouple/thermopile. A weak, yellow, or wavering flame may indicate a problem.
- Verbindungen: Verify that all gas and electrical connections are secure and free from leaks or corrosion.
- Reinigung: Gently clean any dust or debris from the pilot burner and thermocouple/thermopile using a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using abrasive materials.

7. Fehlerbehebung
If your oven is experiencing issues related to pilot ignition or flame sensing, consult the following common troubleshooting steps. Always ensure power and gas are disconnected before inspecting components.
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot leuchtet nicht | No gas supply to pilot burner | Check main gas valve and pilot gas line for obstructions or closed valves. |
| Faulty igniter or ignition wire | Inspect igniter for cracks or damage. Check ignition wire for breaks or loose connections. Replace if necessary. | |
| Pilot burner orifice clogged | Clean pilot burner orifice. | |
| Pilot lights but main burner does not ignite | Weak pilot flame not heating thermocouple/thermopile sufficiently | Adjust pilot flame if possible, or clean pilot burner. Ensure pilot flame fully engulfs the thermocouple/thermopile tip. |
| Faulty thermocouple/thermopile | Test thermocouple/thermopile output with a multimeter. Replace if output is too low. | |
| Pilot lights, then goes out | Thermocouple/thermopile not generating enough voltage to hold gas valve open | Ensure pilot flame is strong and consistently hitting the thermocouple/thermopile. Check connections. Replace thermocouple/thermopile if necessary. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified service technician or Blodgett customer support.
