Dacor Oven Error Code C01

The C01 code means the oven's control board detected a key on the touch panel that remained pressed for two continuous minutes without releasing. This is called a shorted key condition. It can be caused by something physically on the glass surface or by a failed electrical circuit inside the touchpad assembly. Cleaning the glass is the first step to diagnose whether it is a surface issue or an internal fault.

Powering the oven off at the breaker or unplugging it will temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying cause is still present, the error will return within two minutes of the oven detecting the stuck key again. A reset is only a lasting fix if the original cause, such as debris on the glass, has been removed before power is restored.

If the issue is just surface contamination on the glass, there is no parts cost involved. If the touchpad and glass assembly requires replacement, parts and labor costs can range from roughly 150 dollars to 400 dollars or more depending on the specific model and local labor rates. Getting a quote from a qualified appliance technician before proceeding is recommended.

Start by wiping the entire glass front of the touchpad to remove any food, grease, or liquid. Also check that no objects are resting against the panel. If the error clears after cleaning, normal operation can resume. If the code persists after the glass is clean and clear, the glass and touchpad assembly will need to be replaced.

The C01 code indicates the control panel is not responding normally, which means the oven may not accept commands reliably or may behave unpredictably. It is best to avoid operating the oven until the fault is resolved. If the oven is currently on and you cannot control it, shut it off at the circuit breaker as a precaution.
