Dacor Induction Cooktop Code A2: Cooling Fan Motor Trouble

Medium · inspection needed

Code: A2
Appliance: Cooktop & Rangetop
Brand: Dacor
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What A2 means

An A2 on a Dacor Modernist induction cooktop such as the DTI30M977BB, or on the DOP30T940IS induction range cooktop, points to the cooling fan. On the DTI cooktops the DC fan motor cannot run because of a problem on the circuit board or in the wiring, or because debris is jamming the fan blade. On the DOP30T940IS the DC fan motor reads as open or locked. The cooktop shows the code and may stop heating to protect the electronics.

Common causes of A2

Something touching or blocking the fan blade
Wiring to the fan motor loose or damaged
The fan motor itself open or seized
The control board that drives the fan

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn every cook zone off and let the cooktop sit until it is cool to the touch. 2. Clear anything stored under or beside the cooktop that could crowd the vents. 3. Restart the cooktop. 4. If A2 comes back, stop using it and schedule service. Do not remove any panels yourself.

! Why to stop there

Whether the fan turns freely or is held up by debris or a worn bearing
Whether the wiring and connectors to the fan are sound before we blame the board
Which fan or board part your cooktop needs, which we confirm before quoting

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

A2A2 questions

What does A2 mean on my Dacor cooktop?

It refers to the cooling fan. The fan motor is not running the way the control expects, either from a wiring or board problem, a blocked blade, or a motor that is open or locked.

Can I keep cooking with A2 showing?

We advise against it. The fan keeps the electronics from overheating, so a cooktop that cannot cool itself can shut down mid-cook or be damaged further. Restart once, and if the code returns, schedule service.

Do you repair this cooktop?

Yes. Call us or fill out the online form to schedule service. We give a written price before any work and back the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
