# Dacor Oven Repair

A luxury brand owned by Samsung, whose built-in ovens include steam-assisted and combination models.

## Dacor ovens, specifically.

Dacor's Modernist built-in wall ovens show short information codes that start with C, and the user manual lists each one with its cause and a first step. The same ovens have a motorized water reservoir for Steam Bake and Steam Roast, which adds steam and drain codes to the list.

The Dacor lineup

## What is particular to Dacor.

The codes here come from the Modernist DOB30M977 single and double wall oven manual. Earlier Dacor wall ovens use different controls and codes, so the model plate decides which list applies.

### The reservoir opens from the panel

The water reservoir for the steam modes sits above the oven opening and ejects when you touch OPEN/CLOSE RESERVOIR. It takes 22 oz of drinkable water and retracts at the same touch.

### Control Lockout also locks the door

Holding LOCK locks the touchpad and the oven doors, and it works only when the oven is under 400 °F. If the door stays locked after a tripped breaker, Dacor's fix is to activate Control Lockout and then unlock it.

### The Clean menu does four jobs

Self-Clean, GreenClean, Descale and Draining all sit under the Clean feature. Descale and Draining look after the steam system, which is why they live next to the cavity cleaning programs.

### Self-clean cannot start remotely

Some functions can be started remotely, but Dacor does not allow that for self-clean. It has to be set at the oven itself.

Parts

Modernist parts are ordered by model and serial number. Steam system parts such as the reservoir mechanism, sensors and drain parts are specific to these ovens.

Repair or replace

Sensor, lock, fan and steam-path repairs are usually worth doing on a Modernist oven. On an older Dacor with a control no longer available, replacement becomes worth comparing.

## Questions about Dacor ovens.

### My Dacor Modernist door will not open after a power outage. What should I try?

Dacor links this to a tripped breaker or outage while the door was locked. Activate Control Lockout, then unlock it, and the door should release.

### How much water goes in my Dacor oven's reservoir?

Fill it with 22 oz of drinkable water and do not go past the max line. Close the cap before cooking; the reservoir gets hot, so use oven mitts when refilling.

### Why can't I lock the controls on my Dacor right now?

Control Lockout works only when the oven is under 400 °F and every other function has been canceled. Let it cool and cancel the running program first.
