Error codeC72
ApplianceWall Oven
Quick answer
C72 is a communication error between the logic and relay boards; the oven may keep working or keep resetting.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so C72 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
Communication error: no communication between logic board and relay boards for at least 6 seconds.
C72 COMM ERROR on a Dacor wall oven is a communication failure: the logic board and the relay boards have not talked to each other for at least 6 seconds. Both boards keep trying. The logic board looks for the relay board, and the relay board keeps sending reset commands.
Ovens it covers
The Dacor Wall Oven Service Manual covers 27-inch and 30-inch single and double ovens with touch-glass control. The extract does not name the series.
What happens
If the fault lasts, the manual calls it a fatal error after 60 seconds. The power board resets the logic board every few seconds for that minute, the cooling fan runs on high speed, and no oven functions are available until communication returns. When it does, the oven reboots and works again, which is why the manual calls the error reversible.
What to do
If the code shows but the oven works, call for service to report it and keep using the oven.
If the oven keeps resetting, call for service.
A technician checks the connections between the relay and logic boards and the relay board switch settings.
Related codes
C73: a different communication error, about the power boards detected.
C75: redundant strobe mismatch on the logic board.
