Set the mode knob and the temperature knob to Off, then start the oven again. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I bake without steam on my Dacor stove when C-70 shows? Often yes, because C-70 concerns the steam sensor. Restart with a non-steam mode and see whether the oven runs. ### Which Dacor stoves can show C-70? Only the dual-fuel models with a steam water reservoir, such as the DOP36P86DLS. A gas-only Dacor stove does not have the steam sensor. ### What is C-72 next to C-70 in my Dacor manual? Dacor lists C-72 for problems with the drain system of the steam oven. It is a different part from the steam sensor. --- **[Read on the site: Dacor dual-fuel stove showing C-70 on the steam oven](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/dacor-c-70/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
