Error codeA2
ApplianceCooktop
Quick answer
A2 on a Modernist induction cooktop points to the fan motor. The manual names the PCB, wiring or a blocked motor blade.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so A2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
A2 means the fan motor malfunctions because the DC motor cannot operate.
What A2 means on the display
An A2 on a Dacor Modernist induction cooktop, models DTI30M977BB and DTI36M977BB, points to the fan motor. According to the manual, the DC motor cannot operate because of defects of the PCB or wiring, or because of a blockage on the motor blade.
What the owner can do
The manual lists no reset steps for A2, only those three causes. Work on a PCB, wiring or the motor blade is technician work, so switch the cooktop off at the controls and arrange service if the code comes back.
Codes that look similar
F0 also involves the PCBs, since it reports a failed link between the main and sub boards.
UP is a supply message about input voltage that can show on the same display.
C2 is another internal sensor message on this cooktop.
