Top 20 Dacor ECS230 Epicure Electric Double Oven Questions & Answers

Still active problem?

take the bulb back out and check to see if the prong that hits the bottom of the light bulb is making contact. If that don't work then its most likely going to be a short or a wire problem of some sort...Do all the basics first the work your way down...It should be to hard if your willing to go further if necessary...If not then its time to call the tech...Hope this helps you out..

Is it the entire oven or just the heating element?

Turn off amin power wait for a few min's then turn power back on it should come up normal , let's hope so !

Try to either reset a resetable thermostat (inside by the door latch) or replace a relay board.

Follow wires & make sure they have not burned into. Tug on them at terminals. p.s. make sure power is off before doing this.

Try pressing in on the door while trying to release it. The friction of the latch may be keeping the latch from opening.

there may be a backup battery built in to this unit to keep the clock running in case the power goes out. depending on the age of the unit, it may need to be replaced. the battery size and number as well as it's location should be in the owner's manual.

Bake and convection bake settings both use the bottom bake element to heat. It would be unusual for bake to work without conv. bake working. You also have pure convection which uses a different element surrounding the conv. fan on the back of the unit. If you press a feature and nothing happens it's the touch pad. If it comes on then turns back off it's probably the ERC (clock). If it comes on and wont heat only in pure conv. possibly an upper relay board or element problem.

hello this often happens after cleaning. What has occurred is the heating element was on its last legs and that self cleaning reswulting in extreme heat for a long time did it in.

you will have to have a technician come in and replace the heating element.

You probably tripped a safety thermostat in the back of each oven. If you turn off the breaker and find a way to pull the units out you could probably remove the rear panel and reset the thermostat by pushing in a button on the back of the open thermo. Some thermo's aren't resettable though so you'd have to buy a replacement.

unplug the oven from the main power cord for sometime.then ON and set all the things again properly.

Hi williamk77,

Your post "reset the clock" may refer to three (3) clocks in your Dacor ECS230. The first is the "Setting the Time of Day" which could be performed by pressing on the "CLOCK" touchpad. The time of day will falsh. "AM" or "PM" will be displayed and "TIME" will flash in the display. Thereafter, press the touchpad "+" or "-" until the correct time of the day is displayed and release touchpad.

The second is the "Using the Minute Timer" which is better explained at the user's manual page 6. Below is a snapshot of that part of that page.



and the third is "Timed/Delayed Timed Cooking" likewise better explained at the user's manual (p.9). Should the manual be not readily available, it may be downloaded from here.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

I found the lower circuit breaker had been tripped. That didn't fix the problem but upon further inspection whoever had worked on the unit years ago had dropped a screwdriver that had lodged between the oven wall and the rear casing and shorted out the lower heating element. I removed the screwdriver and oven works fine now. I don't think that will solve the cmmclow problem but maybee the curcuit breaker is tripped.

f resetting the high temp limit switches did not resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the broiler and bake elements themselves or with the wiring and connections that supply power to them. It would be best to have a qualified technician inspect and diagnose the issue to determine the necessary repairs.

Try a spray of switch and contact cleaner spray with the power turned off. Get behind the buttons if possible.

If the element in your Dacor W305 oven will not turn off, there are a few things you can try:

1. Turn off the power to the oven by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker. Wait a few minutes and then turn the power back on to see if the element has reset.
2. Check the oven's temperature sensor. If the sensor is faulty, it may be sending the wrong signal to the oven's control board, which can cause the element to stay on. You can test the sensor with a multimeter to see if it's functioning properly.
3. Check the oven's control board. If the control board is faulty, it may be sending a continuous signal to the element to stay on. You may need to replace the control board if this is the case.
4. If the element is physically damaged, it may be causing a short circuit that keeps it on. In this case, you will need to replace the element.

If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

It sounds like you may be having an issue with your Dacor double oven. If the relay board is preventing the oven from working, there could be a problem with the board itself or with a component it controls. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try the following steps:

1. Check the oven's electrical connection and circuit breaker. Make sure the oven is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
2. Check the relay board for any visible damage, such as burnt or melted components. If you find any damage, the board may need to be replaced.
3. Check the oven's thermostat. It is possible that the thermostat may be faulty and not allowing the oven to heat up.
4. Check the heating element. If the element is not heating up, it may need to be replaced.

If these steps do not help resolve the issue, you may need to call a repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem. It is generally not recommended to try to repair an oven yourself, as it can be dangerous and may void the manufacturer's warranty.

If your Dacor wall oven displays "OFF" in red, it means that the oven is not turned on or is in standby mode. To turn on the oven, follow these steps:

1. Press the "Bake" or "Convection Bake" button.
2. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the desired temperature.
3. Press the "Start" button to begin preheating the oven.

If the oven still displays "OFF" after following these steps, try turning the power to the oven off for a few minutes and then turning it back on. If the issue persists, there may be a problem with the oven's control board or wiring and you may need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician for further assistance.
