Dacor Older Wall Oven Code F2: Runaway Temperature Alarm

Code: F2

Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What F2 means

On older Dacor classic electronic range control wall ovens, including the ECS130, MCS130S, PCD230 and MCD227 in the Epicure, Millennia and Preference lines, F2 is a high temperature alarm in the heating mode. The oven got hotter than the control allows. On Millennia models, it exceeded the self-clean or cooking runaway temperature. The oven beeps until CANCEL/SECURE is pressed. We repair these older ovens, which many Houston homeowners still use every day.

Common causes of F2

A temperature sensor that is reading wrong
A heating circuit that stays on too long
A control board that is not shutting the heat off

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Stop the beeping by pressing CANCEL/SECURE. 2. Leave the oven off and let it cool with the door closed. 3. Know that the oven will not heat after this failure. 4. Call us and tell us whether the oven was in self-clean or baking when the alarm sounded.

! Why to stop there

A sensor that reads wrong and a heater that stays on look alike, so we test both before we name a part.
An oven that overheated should not be used again until the cause is found.
Some older parts are scarce, so we confirm availability, and we give the price in writing before work.

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.

F2F2 questions

What does F2 mean on my older Dacor oven?

F2 is a heating mode high temperature alarm. The oven went past the temperature the control allows, either in self-clean or in cooking, and it beeps until CANCEL/SECURE is pressed.

Is it safe to use the oven after F2?

Not until it has been checked. The owner's manual says the oven will not heat after the failure, and an oven that overheated once may do it again. Leave it off and call us.

Can an older oven with F2 be fixed?

Often yes. We test the sensor, heating circuit and board, confirm parts, and quote in writing. We say plainly if replacing the oven makes more sense than the repair.
