Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for C-F2 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the knob to Off and restart the oven.

02

If C-F2 stays, cut every bit of power to the stove for 30 seconds or longer before switching it back on.

03

Book a visit if the touch panel still will not connect.

Still there?

It usually turns into knob and switch replacement. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

C-F2 is not the same as a key that sticks. It is the connection to the whole touch panel.

Questions
about C-F2.

Can I clear C-F2 myself?
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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing C-F2?

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.
