dacor oven heat quits before it reaches set tenp

Make sure the oven temperature is calibrated. You can find instructions on the net. Be also aware that the oven relay board can be difficult to get repaired. We had a terrible time getting someone to repair the board in our Dacor. The company did not make that board anymore and they were of very little help in getting me to a place who could do a board level repair. I honestly thought I was going to have to scrap the $2200 oven, just because of the inability to get the board repaired or even replaced? The company does not do it, and the referral they provided did not do it, they did the newer boards. Mind you, our Dacor oven is only about 10 years old. I finally found a company that would do it. Relay boards are in EVERYTHING. They 'relay' the commands from a touch panel and get a product to do something, like get to a temperature, switch on, etc. There are a few companies that seem to specialize in repairing these boards and the repair is cheaper than a replacement.

Linda:

Sorry to hear about your board. Check your oven paperwork and look on the schematic for the drawing for the relay board and note the part number. I actually had the board repaired by a company I found on E-bay. If you Google "control board repair' you will find several companies that now repair them. They are in nearly all home appliances: dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, some cook tops. Consequently, there are several companies servicing them so the consumer can cut the costs of replacing them. Look at a couple of sites and type in the make and model of the appliance and you can get the repair charges. I took mine out myself, it's not too hard. Take a couple of pictures. Pay particular attention of the little plugs and mark them with numbers on a piece of tape. Send the board in and get it repaired. A couple of places even give you a 2 year warranty. My problem was enhanced by the fact the the board I had, the 72720, about 10 1/2 years old, was 'obsolete' and several places would not fix it. I checked with this company on e-bay and they would be able to fix it. (Hold on to your hat: $86.00!). Core-Centric is the largest servicer, but at the time, they could not fix my board. At the time of my repair, Dacor had no boards, not even a supplier. This has changed, and they now have boards, but they are expensive. I put in a new updated board a couple of years later and had it done by a Dacor service agent. Do you use the 'self clean' feature? We were told never to use that. Heat's up too much and can damage the board. Also, let the oven cool down with the door closed, so the heat does not come out and heat the front control panel. The service company will need both, at least in my experience. Then the oven will have to be re-calibrated. Ours was off from the factory (when we bought it).

Go to E-bay and search for DACOR relay board repair (your part number). You will find several repair places.

Regarding the Dacor line: I have heard that the company was bought by Samsung. I guess we consumers should ALWAYS buy an extended warranty. Next time, I won't spend so much on a 'premium' brand. According to all the research I did, nearly EVERY brand has issues.

If its an electric i can say this is a thermal fuse problem. Usually the one on top of the oven basket. These are round fuses and can be checked by connecting a continuity tester on it and placing it on the stove. Have a thermostat on there too. The heat should match the rating and it will then disconnect the current when it reaches its designed temperature. These are cheap to replace and will be the best bet

Hi,

My model# is ER30DSRSCH/NG. I got it brand-new, but an old stock. Just right after 1 year, the oven doesn't heat up. I tried both bake and cleaning mode. I can hear the clicking sound every 1-2 mins. What is the possible issue here?

Thanks a lot

I had to have the oven board replaced. Independent Contractor guy who owns a small repair business near Dallas ordered the part and fixed it. It's been a year and a half and so far so good.

I had an "appliance technician" check out my oven at least three times, which included replacing a couple of boards. It didn't solve the problem. One of the them recommended monitoring the voltage, and when the line dropped below 120, the oven didn't start. Just before I was ready to replace my DACOR cooking range, I asked an electrician to have a look. He did make some adjustments to the wiring and it worked ever since. I don't recall what exactly he did, but consider having a good electrician look at the problem before replacing too many boards.

Controller board repaired 3 times by my son (computer/electrical engineer). Repair is fairly simple . Failure is linked explicitly to the Self-Cleaning function. The Controller Board failed each time we used this function. Clean your oven manually!
