--- title: "Oven error code F2" description: "Dacor oven error code F2: The cavity went hotter than the control was asking for, and the control shut it down." url: "https://dacormiami.support/error-codes/oven-classic-f2/" date_modified: "2026-09-12" Appliance type: "oven, range" --- # Oven error code F2 ### What F2 means on this make The cavity went hotter than the control was asking for, and the control shut it down. That is the appliance protecting itself and the kitchen, and it should not be reset repeatedly to see whether it happens again. The usual causes are a relay that has welded closed and keeps an element powered, or a temperature sensor reading far too low so the control keeps calling for heat. Both are ordinary parts. On an ER-series range the same string means a communication problem instead, which is why the model comes before the meaning here. ### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all. ### Which machines this one applies to Classic ERC wall ovens and ranges. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### What to do about it - Turn the appliance off at the breaker and leave it off until it has been seen. - Do not clear and re-run it — a welded relay will heat the cavity again with the door locked. - Have the model number ready: this string belongs to two tables on this make and means different things in each. - The relay and the sensor are measured together, because either alone produces this. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [oven not heating repair](/services/oven-not-heating-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
