Error codeU30 / L30
ApplianceWall Oven
Quick answer
U30 and L30 report an open temperature probe 1 (RTD) on Dacor wall ovens. Probe 2 takes over as the primary probe.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so U30 / L30 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 probe 1 open (RTD open).
U30 is the upper or single oven and L30 is the lower oven. Either one, shown as U30 TEMP SENSOR or L30 TEMP SENSOR, means temperature probe 1 reads open. It is flagged as a fatal error after 60 seconds of continuous values over the maximum bounds.
What changes in the oven
Probe 2 now becomes the primary probe. Cooking is available, with some possible effects on temperature calibration, but cleaning is not. The manual’s answer for the owner is to call for service, and it adds that you can continue to cook while being aware that the oven may cook a little hotter or cooler than normal.
What a technician checks
The manual names a poor connection at the board or in the harness, a bad probe and a bad wire in the harness. The checks are the connections at the relay board and the probe state at the probe connector. The fixes run in order: secure the connection, replace the probe, then replace the harness.
Models
Dacor Renaissance EOR and MOR wall ovens and the 27- and 30-inch ovens in the Dacor Wall Oven Service Manual.
Related probe codes
U31 is probe 1 shorted, and U32 is probe 2 open. U34 is the same open fault on probe 3.
