BLODGETT 18588 100K OHM TEMPERATURE PROBE

Description

The Blodgett 18588 is a genuine OEM 100K Ohm temperature probe used in Blodgett ovens. It provides precise cavity temperature feedback to the oven’s control system, ensuring accurate heating cycles and consistent cooking results. Replacing a faulty probe restores proper temperature regulation and prevents uneven baking or overheating.

📌 Details

• Part Number: 18588

• Type: Temperature Probe / Sensor

• Resistance: 100K Ohm (NTC)

• Function: Measures oven cavity temperature and relays to control module

• Construction: Stainless steel probe with insulated lead wires for durability in high-heat environments

• Application: Works with Blodgett digital controllers such as part 18578

💡 Tech Tip

• Check probe wiring and connectors before replacement; corrosion or broken insulation can cause false readings.

• Use a multimeter to verify resistance values — a faulty probe will read open, short, or far outside expected Ohm values.

• When installing, position the probe correctly in the cavity to sense true chamber temperature — not too close to burners or walls.

• Avoid kinking or sharply bending the probe lead; this can damage internal wiring.

📌 Compatible Models

Used in Blodgett ovens equipped with electronic temperature control systems requiring a 100K Ohm sensor.

📌 Note

• Always pair probes with the correct controller model (e.g., 18578) — mismatched sensors can cause inaccurate readings.

• OEM sensors are designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial ovens; generic sensors may not last or may drift in accuracy.

• Confirm compatibility using your oven’s model and serial before ordering.
