Press OFF and restart the oven. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What drain does C-72 mean on my Dacor wall oven? The oven's own drain system for steam cooking, not a kitchen drain. The Clean menu includes a Draining function that uses it. ### Is C-72 on my Dacor urgent? Dacor's steps are a restart and a power cycle, not an emergency shutdown. If the code keeps returning, book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Dacor Modernist wall oven showing C-72 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/dacor-c-72/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
