What to do when C-23 shows on the oven

### Kind of code Temperature sensor

The reading from the temperature probe fell outside what the control will trust, or climbed far higher than the setting. A loose connector or a probe that has drifted is ruled out before the control itself, and a reading that runs away means the breaker goes off first.

### Usually leads to Temperature sensor and calibration

Baking that comes out burnt or pale at the usual setting, traced to the sensor, its wiring or an oven that simply needs calibrating.

### Shows up as Oven Error Code

The oven shows letters and numbers, beeps, and stops a cycle or refuses to start one.

### Make Dacor

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

## Questions about C-23.

### Can I clear C-23 myself?

Press OFF and restart the oven. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does C-23 on my Dacor mean the oven is broken?

Not the oven as a whole. C-23 points to the temperature probe reading as shorted, so the cavity itself may heat normally.

### Should I keep roasting with the probe after C-23 on my Dacor?

No. A shorted reading means the probe temperature cannot be trusted. Try the restart steps, and book a visit if the code comes back.
