Re: Throwing the breaker .had the oven for 6 weeks...
Hi,
You have a problem in the oven not in the house wiring...you probably have a bad element in that oven and it is shorted...this throws that breaker when you turn it on...

That is interesting because the major current draw of your oven will be during startup and warm up. I think I would replace the circuit breaker. As your oven warms, your breaker could be heating up and pops at about 150C.
Might not be the issue but a reasonably cheap place to start.
Good luck

The first thing I would check is the breaker for the oven at the breaker box. I have encountered similar problems and a partially thrown breaker ( or one pole of a double-pole breaker) can cause this. Find your "range breaker" in your breaker box and cut it off then flip it back on. There is a good chance that might fix your breaker. If it is an older house with fuses, then the range would be on two fuses and one of them is blown. This happens to dryers also (if the right fuse/breaker goes, the motor runs but it won't heat)
Hope this helps
Most likely, the digital panel just kind of locked up. The first thing I would try is to turn off the circuit breaker at your home's breaker (or fuse) panel for about 5 minutes and then turn it back on again. This should "reboot" it and hopefully the oven will get its brains back!
Ensure that the clock is set and that is not in auto mode, the clock is only linked to the main oven and therefore it will not opearte if the clock is not set correctly, all the best
oven will not heat up. microwave works fine. alloven will not heat up. microwave works fine. all the led light up fine. was working fine for the last 4 years. oven will not heat up. microwave works fine. all the led light up fine. was working fine for the last 4 years. checked the circuit breaker and it is fine. is there a thermal fuse i can check. where is it located
The control switch may be bad on it. If there are 2 elements on the top, they both are not bad at the same time.Check to see if the wires have not burned off the control switch first. Check to see if your breakers are O.K. Turn them both(maybe 3) off and then reset.
you can also put a piece of paper between the ribbon cable where it joins up before the connector. It has been reported that the cable will short in this area. Try that before spending more money since most of the F-codes appear to be cable related.
HI - I just had the same problem - repairman came and reset the breaker in the oven which "tripped" (even tho I havent used the lower oven in months). Read posts here on other Dacor ovens which explain how to get to the reset switch to avoid having $150 in repair costs - I have not tried that myself tho but good luck!
it probably needed to reset computer/electroics
but i would call customer service for the brand it is a dangerous thing to play with.
make sure there were no recalls also.
