Top 20 Dacor ECS127 Epicure Stainless Steel Electric Single Oven Questions & Answers

probably a defrost terminator or defrost timer issue, check with multi meter, u may also have a bad heater element

I purchase parts from an appliance parts supply. You could also purchase elements let's say from a Home Depot. You can buy used parts from area used appliance stores. Nowadays you can purchase almost anything on-line.

I found the answer on other posts on this website and it saved me $500! I had the same problem with my Dacor Model ECD2278 double oven. After I ran the self cleaning the top oven would not come on and the lower oven ran almost double the temp that was set. To fix: disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker. Open the oven door. You'll see the grille/grate/steel cover in front of the door latch mechanism, and it should have about 4 screws holding it in place. Remove the screws then remove the grille cover. On my model the tiny red reset button was on the right side on top of a black plastic round piece which is about 1" in diameter. Press the little button down til it clicks.

Hi chez_ulrich,

This problem is a common failure symptom. This is a bad touchpad, please replace it with new one. You can obtain the part at apdepot.com.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

after you have self cleaned it you can do much to save it, its time for a new one Sorry

there is usually a button on the front display that says self cleaning

Go to link below and get the manual for your model. http://tv.manualsonline.com/ex/thread/view/idThread/1185347

Call a repair man. He will swap the control panel, it will cost you $450 and it will still be broken. He will come back and change the circuit board that has the clicking relay. It will cost you $450 and will still be broken.

There is a new relay board available that is suppose to fix this problem issued 3/17/05. old part number 82127 new part number 92028 I found this a dacorservice.com. ignored login slected parts at top right of screen them looked up my wall oven model number ECS and read thru the parts list
Link is http://ww1.dacorservice.com/PartsCatalog/docs/ProductModels/522/PM_RSD-101708.pdf

the problem was fixed by opening the panel between the oven cavity and the touch panel just behinf the door. you can look through the grill but to trip the reset you must unscrew the panel. you will find the reset back behind the wires Looks a red button nestled on top not very open but it should be there> i do have to say i found a step by step description on this site. but right now i can't tell you who exactly he was.

This IS SO EASY !! I have the DACOR 48...no tools, 5 minutes and you are done! It took me 8 years of frustration and I fixed it TODAY !!

Just open the door, latch the small hook that binds the two hinges together. Next try to slowly close the door until resistance. Just when you think you might break something push up another 2 inches. Now lower the door , unhook the latch to seperate the hinges (latches) nad PRESTO a snug fit !!

Should not be a problem. Be aware that these units cook more quickly...and they pull out moisture differently from the food and some of it hits colder parts of the oven...condensation. If all else seems well, you're okay.

Question: does the unit appear to hold the correct temperature? Most convection units only turn the heating elements on and off...not the fan. If the unit is reporting operating temp and then taking other direction...and it is cooking right...you're done.

f-4 on decor ovens mean the oven temp sensor is bad. replace the oven temp sensor and it will be fine

remove screws from top panel it is presure into slot by force screws. then slid flat blade alog egde without forcing it. untill it releases. once you have clean and reverse proces to install make sure screws are tighten. like you would tighten a tire rim on a car.

Sounds like you have a need for a circuit board. First, disconnect power for a few minutes and re-power. If that doesn't fix it, get a new board. Turn off power before working on your unit.

The only solution I know of for the enamel coming off on these units is replacement of the unit, and since it is 4 years old you are going to have a tough time getting dacor to replace it or even give you a credit towards a new one. I have never actually seen the problem on a Dacor. Does the unit have a hidden lower bake element? If you cannot seee the elemnt its hidden, and you cannot put tin foil on the floor of any unit wiht a hidden bake element, as it will damage the finish. I know this isnt much help, but I work on Dacor products regularly as we are an authorized servicer, and I can't say I've ever seen a finish problem on one. Best bet at this point is to call Dacor and see if they will do anything about it. Good Luck!
