What the C90 error code actually means

The C90 code simply means your Dacor oven lost power at some point and the power has now come back on. It is the oven's way of letting you know that a power interruption happened, such as a brief outage or a tripped breaker. No part has failed, and your oven is safe to use once you clear the code.

Questions people ask about C90

What does C90 mean on a Dacor oven?
C90 is a notification code indicating that the oven's power was interrupted and has since been restored. The control board displays this alert so the user is aware that any active cooking program was cancelled during the outage. It is not a component failure code and does not indicate a malfunction within the oven itself.
Is it safe to use my Dacor oven after a C90 code appears?
Yes, it is safe to use the oven after a C90 code. The code is purely informational and does not indicate a safety hazard or a fault with any internal component. Simply clear the code and resume normal use.
How much does it cost to fix a C90 error on a Dacor oven?
In most cases, clearing C90 costs nothing because it only requires pressing a key after a power outage. If the code is caused by a loose wiring connection, an electrician's service call typically runs in the range of $75 to $200 depending on your area. If a control board replacement is ultimately needed, parts and labor costs generally range from $300 to $600 or more for a Dacor unit.
How do I clear the C90 code on my Dacor oven?
Press any key on the control panel to clear the C90 code. Once cleared, the oven will return to normal operation. You will also need to reset the clock, as the time is lost whenever power is interrupted.
Will resetting the oven clear the C90 code permanently?
Pressing any key clears the C90 code immediately, and it will not return unless another power interruption occurs. If the code keeps coming back without a known outage, the underlying cause is likely an unstable power connection or circuit issue that should be investigated.
