My dacor oven model ECS130SBK
I found the bottom element was not getting any power by using a volt/ohmmeter and a test method described elsewhere. (Shut off power, hold down COOK TIME while turning on power. then within 30 seconds press each mode you want to test and only that element/fan/etc will turn on. Cancels by itself after 30 sec.) I traced the wire back to the relay (wire checked good) and there was no power getting through the relay although it clicked. Removed the relay board to replace it and found a cold solder joint on the "out" terminal with obvious past arcing carbon. Cleaned and soldered the pin and the oven now works normally.WHY THE SLOW TO HEAT? The oven turns on all the elements to preheat faster and when it reaches your set temp it beeps and now only turns on the element you selected to maintain the temperature. (Bake or Convection) Our malfunctioning ovens would then cool since the element is not working properly and it must go back into preheat and keep cycling. BY THE WAY- Don't ever use 4 hours on self clean it kills the boards and/or display. I also put a house fan in front of the oven and blow it into the lower grill to take away some of the heat on the two boards. Learned the hard way!

Started to clean the oven and now it is beeping
This will generally be an issue with either the wiring at the door switch mechanism, or the door switch itself. Check the door lock switches and wiring. If the wiring is connected well, this will lead to a failed door lock switch mechanism. Use my procedure below to confirm switch failure.
Before repairs or further testing can begin you must disconnect the electricity at the fuse panel, at the circuit breaker panel, or by pulling the plug. Make sure the power is off before proceeding. Once access is gained, set the latch to the "clean" position and test for circuit continuity at the terminals of the switch with your VOM's ohmmeter function. If there is no continuity, the switch is faulty. Use cuation when testing.

When oven is heating up
The loud noise is either from sheet metal expanding under stress or an electrical arc. I recommend unplugging the oven, taking the back off, and inspecting the wiring to the oven heating element and the sheet metal near the wiring. Also inspect the plug and socket, oven control and the oven heater element itself for similar problems. If you see signs that arcing has occurred (burn marks, especially with melted metal), repair the wiring and reroute it if necessary to prevent arcing.
If you don't find anything, first make sure the oven rests firmly and levelly on all four feet to eliminate any twisting stress. If there is a problem here, the noise should go away after one or two more cycles once you fix it. A twist in the oven could have something to do with the broken hinges. In the worst case, you may have to loosen and tighten a lot of sheet metal screws to relieve stress in the assembly. It would best if you could locate where in the oven the noise is produced before doing this.
I was unable to find any reference to parts for your model. Please look for the model label either on the doorframe or inside the drawer under the main oven door and verify the complete model number. Also look at the hinges for a part number stamped on them. There are a number of on-line appliance parts stores that carry Dacor parts; you should be able to find something with a search for "Dacor" and the part or model number.

Beeping with f1 error code
F1
touch pad / ERC test This simple test will help determine
whether the ERC (Electronic Range Control or Clock) or the touch pad is
defective when F1 error code is present.
Note: Some models
incorporate the touch pad in to the ERC as a single assembly, in which case this
test is not necessary. Simply replace the ERC (Clock).
Warning: If
you feel in any way uncomfortable performing this test or making this repair,
please contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
1. Disconnect
power to the range (unplug the range power cord or turn the power off to the
range at the circuit breaker). It is very important that the power to the range
has been disconnected, so please double check before continuing.
2. Gain
access inside the control panel.
3. Disconnect the touch pad (also called
keypad or membrane switch) ribbon from the ERC.
4. Make sure there are no
lose wires, or anything else that may cause a short when power is turned back
on. Assemble the control panel back the way it was.
5. Turn the power back
on.
6. Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually
accompanied by a beeping sound).
7. If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it
does not, replace the touch pad.

After oven turned on for normal baking it starts
If you're not hearing the fan turn at its normal speed, it is possible that your fan motor has become stalled. AC motors will often hum or buzz when they can no longer turn but still have power applied to them. This could be due to bad bearings, or a blockage of some sort. It's probably not easy to get to, but if you can hand check the fan it should spin quite freely. Be sure to unplug the unit before messing with the insides, or shut of its circuit breaker if it's a built-in unit.

Oven started making a clicking noise after I
F8 means a fault on the door locking switch.
Something may be preventing the door lock from operating properly.
The solution is to have the door lock switch and wiring checked over.

The oven setting for convection bake stops at 285
I would suspect the thermostat as being bad, but it could be a heat sensor also. Here is a blog that gives general troubleshooting of this problem, and perhaps it will help:
Here's an answer I found on the web from someone that had already changed the temperature sensor:
Gas oven? You need to remove the bottom panel inside the oven and watch the burner cycle. If it's real slow coming back on, this will let temp drop too far inside the oven, which may indicate a bad ignitor.
Could be this, or a sensor, or the thermostat. Sometimes upper limit switches go bad.
I tried to bring up diagrams of your oven, but could find any one the net.
Here's some info on troubleshooting a gas range, and hope it helps:

Good luck.

My ECS130sch will not
Hi
When the oven does not heat the issue is with the oven temperature sensor that is bad and you need to replace it. You can test the oven temp. sensor for 1100 ohms and replace if the voltmeter reads less than this. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Dacor ECS130SCH - Both oven
If you read 0.5V with light on, then there must be something wrong, this bulbs are 12VAC.
By the way, the original part Dacor OEM 86364 is still available on the Internet, and it is cheaper than 86573. Here the part:
Ebay seller, 10 bulbs for $7.Q10T3/CL-12V $0.41 10W 12V Replacement Lamp Light Bulb IN-STOCKIf you are not sure if a bulb has blown or not, and if the filamet does not look broken you can test the bulb using your multimeter, if the bulb reads infinity (open), then the bulb has blown.
Let me know if this solves your problem, in that case please do not forget to accept the solution.

My DACOR + ECS 130 covection oven light relay keeps clicking.....
I have the same problem and sent an e-mail to DACOR. A James Carlos responded and advised that DACOR could not provide DYI info because of liability problems, pure BS in my opinion. I've had problems with a DACOR microwave (manuf. by Sharp), my DACOR wall oven Model ECS103 and my DACOR Raised Vent system and told Mr. Carlos so. I don't know how to fix the blinking oven light other than cutting power at the circuit breaker panel or removing the two light bulbs which other have advised but suspect a new front control panel is required. If you find a fix, please advise me at
[email protected]. I think DACOR products are overpriced and junk.
Thanks, Bill 12/10/2009

I want to re-set high temperature limit control,
if you open the oven door all the way, then, look under the control panel (where the top of the oven door seats) you will see a plate that has 6 to 8 screws holding it in place.Remove the screws of that plate with a phillips screwdriver.You will possibly need a flashlight to look inside the space where the reset switch is located... but it is THERE. Make SURE that you TURN OFF the circuit breaker or... UNPLUG the range... B4 you proceed to reset. Look for the Red Button on the back side of one of the limit control switches. Press it in till it clicks. (sometimes you'll hear it... sometimes you wont). Plug baack in ro reset your breaker switch, Turn on your oven and see if it works. If it does... then replace the vent plate close your oven door and now your cook"n with gas...well... electricity really.

High limit switch trips and needs re-set
After grilling or cooking at higher temps leave the oven light on so the cooling fan continues to run for approx 1/4 hour, or whatever setting will keep the fan running...
