Error codeC-31
ApplianceWall Oven
Quick answer
C-31 on a Dacor oven display points to an abnormally high PCB temperature. The manual's instruction is to call for service.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so C-31 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
C-31 means the PCB temperature has risen abnormally high.
When a Dacor oven shows C-31, the control reports that its PCB temperature has risen abnormally high. In the owner’s manuals this sits in the information-code table, and the instruction beside it is a single line: call for service.
Which Dacor models show C-31
The code is listed for the Modernist DOB30M977 wall oven, the DOC30*977D* combi oven and the Modernist Pro DOP36/48M86D range. These are current Dacor lines.
What to do when it appears
Unlike C-70 or C-d1, the manual gives no restart routine for C-31. It points straight to service, so a reset attempt is not part of the printed advice. A technician is the person to check the PCB side of the oven.
Codes easily mixed up with C-31
Look at C-30 if the display shows a PCB sensor that is open or shorted instead of a high temperature. C-21 covers abnormally high internal temperature, and C-A2 is the cooling motor code that sits in the same table.
