Error codeU34 / L34
ApplianceWall Oven
Quick answer
U34 (upper or single oven) and L34 (lower oven) report an open temperature probe 3 on Dacor wall ovens.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so U34 / L34 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 3 is open.
A U34 on the display of a Dacor wall oven, or L34 on a lower oven, tells you temperature probe 3 is open. The U prefix belongs to the upper or single oven, the L prefix to the lower oven. This entry covers the 27-inch and 30-inch single and double wall ovens with touch-glass controls described in the Dacor service manual; the manual does not name a series.
What an open probe 3 means
The control has registered a probe 3 reading at the open end of its range. The manual lists three sources: a poor connection at the relay board or in the harness, a bad probe that has stuck open, or a bad wire in the harness. When the open reading continues for 60 seconds, the control logs it as a fatal error.
Can the oven still be used?
Probe 1 is the primary probe, so cooking and self-cleaning stay available. The manual says to expect possible effects on temperature: food may cook a little hotter or cooler than normal, so watch results and treat calibration with care.
What to do
The manual says to call for service. A technician checks the connections at the relay board and the probe state at the probe connector, then secures the connection or replaces the probe or the harness.
