Unlocking a Dacor Oven Door

Dacor Range
Posting this on the chance this might help someone else. We own a Dacor Epicure ERD36SCH Dual Fuel Range. I accidentally spilled some water on the top of the range causing all hell to break loose. The control pad started beeping, and the oven door kept locking and unlocking on its own. In the end, the door was locked and we couldn’t get it opened.

This had happened once before and we were able to find instructions for clearing the fault. This time, finding appropriate information online was difficult, but ultimately successful.

So if you have this problem, download Dacor’s Diagnostic Manual and carefully follow the instructions for the ERC Quick Test on page 3. That worked for us.

If your control pad doesn’t have one of the buttons contained in the test, skip it and move on to the next. Don’t forget to hold the “cook time” button for ten seconds in step 9.

Good luck!

    sorry I did this, it dd not work. how long do you hold for each test? It says you must complete all tests within 30 sec!
  • sorry it's not working. you have to complete all steps within 30 seconds, but there's no set time between each step. to some extent, it's trial and error. good luck!

    This was awesome!  Thanks so much as this helped us to unlock our oven door.  I too spilled water and chaos struck.  You're the best!
