Quick answer

Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so C-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
C-A2 means the cooling motor is operating abnormally.
Seeing C-A2 means the oven has detected its cooling motor operating abnormally. Dacor’s manuals pair this code with one instruction, to call for service.
Models and series
C-A2 appears for the Modernist DOB30M977 wall oven, the DOC30*977D* combi oven and the Modernist Pro DOP36/48M86D range. All three belong to the current line.
What the manual wants from you
There is no reset or cleaning routine here. Because the cooling motor is involved, turn the oven off and leave the repair to a technician instead of looking inside.
Codes printed near it
The C-72 entry, about the drain system, comes right before it in the table. If the oven names a hot PCB instead, read C-31; for a steam sensor fault with its own restart routine, see C-70.
