I have a Dacor CPS 127 electric oven. It was turning itself off just as the heating unit kicked in, so they (the local Dacor certified repair place) replaced the electronic controls. The oven now heated, but as soon as they finished that repair (20 minutes later), I tried to use the self clean function and it flashed an F7 error message. They came back and replaced a latch mechanism. Now, the first time I tried to start the self clean function again, it isn't heating at all and flashes an F8 message. It starts flashing the F8 message every 5 minutes or so, even though we hit the cancel button to stop it. I have invested $600 to repair this unit in the past month and still do not have a healthy oven. Suggestions?

power surges can short out the electonics in appliances. If you can locate where the tech sheet is and I would say its behind the control panel on top, look at the wiring diagram and see if there are any replaceable fuse's. Or a resetable fuse for the heating element. If not check to see if power is getting to the main control bord. If there is power there you may need to replace the control.

SOURCE: F2 message when self cleaning

I have the exact problem, had a service man look at it while still under warranty. He said it was fixed and left. Tried it again, same problem. Called him back 2 times after that, he quit responding to my calls. By tyhen warranty expired and GE refused to do anything.

The problem may very well be in one of the micro switches on the self cleaning motor bracket. These switches control the electrical flow to the heating elements. In the owners manual there is/should be a chart that lists the unlock and safety combinations. This would be your best source of information.
