Dacor Range, Oven, Cooktop Error Code F11

F11 on a Dacor Discovery Range indicates a shorted element relay on the power board. The relay is an internal switch that controls power delivery to the heating elements. When it shorts, it can cause the element to receive power continuously and prevents normal oven operation. Replacing the power board is the prescribed repair for this fault.

No. A shorted relay can cause a heating element to remain energized even when the oven appears to be off, creating a fire and burn hazard. The range should not be used until the power board has been inspected and replaced. Disconnect the range from power if the error is active and the oven is heating unexpectedly.

Repair costs for F11 typically include the price of the replacement power board plus labor. Power board components for Dacor Discovery ranges generally fall in the range of $150 to $400 or more depending on availability and the specific model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs commonly range from $250 to $600 or higher. Getting a quote from a Dacor-authorized service provider before proceeding is advisable.

Replacing the power board on a Dacor Discovery Range involves working inside a 240-volt appliance, which carries serious shock risk if not handled correctly. Technicians with experience in high-voltage range repairs can perform this replacement, but homeowners without that background should hire a qualified appliance repair technician. Before any work, the range must be fully disconnected from power.

A power reset may temporarily clear the F11 code from the display, but it will not resolve the underlying shorted relay. The fault will return because the hardware failure on the power board remains. A permanent fix requires replacing the power board rather than relying on resets.
