Error code
Oven error code F5
Dacor oven error code F5: This one names the board directly, and it is one of the few codes on this platform where the answer really is the control. Which machines can raise it, what the maker publishes about it, and what to do next.
- From $95 diagnostic, credited to the repair
- 59 cities and neighborhoods covered
- OEM parts available on order

What we can confirm
Code F5, from the manufacturer's own documentation
A code is only meaningful together with the machine showing it — the same digits mean different things on different equipment.
The code
F5
This one names the board directly, and it is one of the few codes on this platform where the answer really is the control. That makes the availability question the important one: these are pre-2016 Dacor boards, not the Samsung-platform boards of the current machines, and the part numbers do not translate between them. We check what exists before quoting labor, and where a board is genuinely no longer made we say so rather than booking a visit that ends in an apology.

What it narrows down to
ERC self-diagnostic failure — the control has failed its own test.
Diagnostic

On the same appliance
What else belongs to the wall ovens
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
Shorted or jammed input device — a shorted wire or a failed membrane switch.
System watchdog circuit — the ERC's own self-diagnostic found a bake or broil system failure.
Heating mode high temperature — the control detected a runaway heat condition.
Shorted oven temperature sensor.
Open oven temperature sensor circuit.
EEPROM checksum error — the control's stored settings no longer verify.
Door lock enabled above temperature — the clean-lock or phase circuit is faulty.
Door locking switch — the motor ran for two minutes without the phase switch changing state.
A control key has been stuck or shorted for a minute.
The door lock is mispositioned.
Communication interrupted between the main board and the sub board.
Communication interrupted between the main board and the touch panel.

About Oven error code F5
What F5 means on this make
This one names the board directly, and it is one of the few codes on this platform where the answer really is the control. That makes the availability question the important one: these are pre-2016 Dacor boards, not the Samsung-platform boards of the current machines, and the part numbers do not translate between them. We check what exists before quoting labor, and where a board is genuinely no longer made we say so rather than booking a visit that ends in an apology.
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
- Power down for a full minute; a single self-test failure occasionally does not repeat.
- If it returns, the board is the answer and the next question is availability.
- Have the full model and serial ready — legacy board numbers are specific and do not cross eras.
- Ask for the parts answer before the labor is booked. On this platform that is the honest order.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is appliance control board 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 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
