C-F2 on a Dacor pro stove means communication between the main board and the touch panel was interrupted. The screen may freeze or ignore touches. Dacor stove display What to do when C-F2 shows on the stove ### Kind of code Knobs, keys and display A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knob and switch replacement Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch. ### Shows up as Stove Display Blank or Flashing The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press. ### Make Dacor A luxury cooking brand owned by Samsung, found in kitchens that wanted a professional look. ### Source Dacor DOP30T840GS gas stove user manual, Information codes Dacor Transitional pro stoves with the tilting touch panel; the gas DOP30T840GS and dual-fuel DOP36P86DLS manuals print the same table. ## Before you book, in this order.

Turn the knob to Off and restart the oven. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my Dacor touch screen frozen with C-F2? The screen and the main board have lost their connection. A full power reset of at least 30 seconds is Dacor's step before service. ### Is C-F2 on my Dacor stove a broken screen? Not necessarily. The code says the link to the touch panel dropped, which a loose cable or a failing board can cause as well as the panel itself. ### Can I bake on my Dacor stove while C-F2 is showing? Usually not, because the oven takes its commands from the touch panel. The gas burners may still light. --- **[Read on the site: Dacor stove showing C-F2 and a touch panel that will not respond](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/dacor-c-f2/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
