Error codeF1
ApplianceCooktop
Quick answer
F1 means communications with the EEPROM failed on Modernist induction cooktops.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 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
F1 means communications with the EEPROM failed.
F1 on the display
F1 stands for failed communications with the EEPROM. The code belongs to the Modernist induction cooktops DTI30M977BB and DTI36M977BB.
Owner action
The manual gives only the meaning for F1 and no owner steps. Since the EEPROM sits on the electronics, a technician is the one to look at it if the code appears again.
Nearby codes
F0 has a restart routine for the main and sub PCBs.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
