Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for C-70 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Set the mode knob and the temperature knob to Off, then start the oven again.

02

If C-70 stays, cut every bit of power to the stove for 30 seconds or longer before switching it back on.

03

Book a visit if it returns; normal bake modes may still work in the meantime.

What not to do

Questions
about C-70.

Can I clear C-70 myself?
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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing C-70?

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
