Error codeF2 / F-2
ApplianceWall Oven
Quick answer
F2 is a heating mode high temperature alarm on ERC ovens; the oven beeps until cancel or another function.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so F2 / F-2 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
Alarm, heating-mode high temperature: runaway heat or temperature exceeds runaway limits; beeps until cancel.
F2 on a Dacor ERC oven is the Heating Mode High Temperature alarm. The control raises it when it senses a runaway heat condition or when the temperature goes past the runaway limits.
What the oven does
The ERC beeps until you press cancel or select another function.
If it repeats
Turn the oven off and have it checked. For a repeating F2 the manual has the technician check the oven sensor and wiring, after first checking for a stuck relay. If the alarm goes away, the technician then verifies the oven completes a clean cycle without any failure.
Models
An older series with the ERC electronic oven control: CPS/CPD, ECPS/ECPD, CPTS/CPTD, PCS/PCD, MCS/MCD and ECS/ECD.
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.
