Error codeU22 / L22
ApplianceWall Oven
Quick answer
U22 and L22 report a temperature amplifier failure on Dacor wall ovens when the two probes disagree by more than 50°F.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so U22 / L22 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
Temperature amplifier failure: probe 1 and probe 2 readings differ by more than 50°F.
U22 (upper or single oven) and L22 (lower oven) are shown as OVER TEMP on the display, but the failure is about the probes. Probe 1 and probe 2 cannot be more than 50°F apart when the oven is between 75°F and 100°F on the rise during a cooking or cleaning operation.
A second limit
Between a center-of-cavity temperature of 520°F and 600°F, the probe 1 cook and clean amplifiers and the probe 2 cook and clean amplifiers must also be within 50°F of each other.
What the manual means by the failure
One of the probes is out of calibration or bad without being open or shorted.
What still works
Cooking is available. Self-clean is not available until the code is cleared, and the manual says to call for service.
What a technician checks
A technician verifies that the probe cables are connected properly and that the probes read correctly using the A/D screen in service diagnostics.
Which ovens
Dacor 27- and 30-inch single and double wall ovens described in the Dacor Wall Oven Service Manual.
Related probe codes
U30 means probe 1 is open, while U32 means probe 2 is open. U21 is the self-clean over temperature error.
