An Introduction to Blodgett Oven Parts



Blodgett is the premier oven manufacturer in the United States. It is the standard by which today’s demanding foodservice operators and chefs rely on. We offer replacement parts for Blodgett ovens Parts, both newer models, and vintage units. It’s not uncommon for us to be able to support parts for these older ovens that are 40 years old. A well-maintained oven will last for years and years. We’ve seen this many times in school systems and hospitals.

Blodgett makes a variety of ovens and support equipment to fit the many different applications in foodservice. From the standard workhorse Blodgett convection oven parts, Combi oven parts, deck ovens for pizza and baking, Heavy-duty ranges, rotating rack ovens, Hydrovection, braising pans, kettles, and steamer replacement parts.

The Blodgett family of products addresses the needs in many areas of foodservice categories. Bakery correctional, healthcare, hotels, restaurants, retail, and schools; K-12, colleges, and universities.

Your parts supplier must maintain critical parts for your emergency needs across these vast categories of their lines. We have been supporting Blodgett parts for models like the DFG, Mark V, Zephaire, 900 and SHO to the newer Combi BLCT oven series along with the older conveyor style ovens.

Many of these products can be easily worked on and in many cases, an experienced service technician is not required, pending the complexity of the model, and whether you have the proper tools. Please read our section on Gas Components for helpful information on this topic. If in doubt, always call a ‘certified’ Blodgett technician. Since an oven, kettle or braising pan is critical to your menu, it is a good idea to become familiar with your equipment in the basic areas in case it goes down.



It is also recommended you maintain critical parts on hand. This will speed up your repair time and save you the expense of next day air fees, especially on a Saturday. We are happy to suggest a list of replacement parts to keep on hand. This is especially important if you have multiple models that the parts will interchange on.

There are many Blodgett manuals on this topic. We suggest to our customers they maintain a ‘library’ of all the manuals to their equipment. These manuals should include parts, installation, and operational instructions and place in a 3-ring binder. Each manual will need to have the model and serial number of the equipment written on the cover for easy reference. Blodgett replacement parts (Believe me, you’ll need this info). Hint: don’t ever give a parts supplier the model and serial number of a ‘similar’ looking model. Model numbers are not always the correct information they need, it’s the serial number that’s the most important. Inevitably you’ll get the wrong part if you don’t adhere to this warning.

If this happens, your repair time has just doubled, shipping costs increase since you’ll have to send the wrong one back and you might have to pay those dreaded restock fees. Take the time to do it right the first time. We also highly recommend placing copies of any repair invoices in these binders too and a log of the actual repairs, what was the cause of the failure and what was done to fix it.

 This can be vital information when you must review the expense of maintaining the Blodgett equipment parts in case it’s time to consider replacing it. Your accountant can help you with this analysis. Having these documents will also enable you to get a premium price when you sell the unit.
