Dacor Range, Oven, Cooktop Error Code F32

F32 on a Dacor Discovery Range indicates that the control board is detecting an open circuit in the RTD temperature sensor system. This means the oven cannot read its internal temperature, either because the sensor itself has failed or because there is a break or fault in the wiring connecting the sensor to the control board. The oven will not operate normally until the faulty component is repaired or replaced.

No, you should not continue using the oven while F32 is active. Without a functioning temperature sensor, the control board cannot regulate oven temperature accurately, which creates a risk of overheating. The oven should be left off until the sensor or wiring fault is corrected.

Resetting the oven by cycling power may temporarily clear the F32 code from the display, but the error will return as soon as the control board checks the sensor circuit again and detects the open condition. A reset does not address the underlying hardware fault. The sensor or wiring must be repaired or replaced to permanently resolve the error.

A knowledgeable DIYer can address F32 by testing the RTD sensor with a multimeter and visually inspecting the wiring harness for damage or loose connectors. If the sensor reads as open at room temperature, it needs to be replaced. Wiring repairs or harness replacement are also possible for someone comfortable working with appliance electrical systems, but if any uncertainty exists about working safely with the oven's components, a qualified technician should handle the repair.

Repair costs vary depending on whether the sensor, wiring, or both need replacement. RTD sensors for Dacor Discovery ranges typically fall in the range of $30 to $80 for the part alone. If a technician is needed for diagnosis and installation, total repair costs including labor generally range from $100 to $250, depending on local labor rates and the extent of any wiring damage.
