Dacor Range, Oven, Cooktop Error Code U60

U60 indicates a problem with the cooling fan on the upper or single oven cavity. The control board has detected that the fan is operating at low speed, is obstructed, or has stopped working entirely. This fan protects the oven's electronics from heat damage, so the fault should be diagnosed and corrected promptly.

Continuing to operate the oven with an active U60 fault is not recommended. The cooling fan is critical for protecting the control electronics from overheating, and running the oven without proper fan operation could lead to further component damage or a more costly repair.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause. Clearing an obstruction may cost nothing beyond your time, while replacing the cooling fan motor typically ranges from $100 to $300 in parts and labor. A control board replacement, if needed, can range from $200 to $600 or more depending on the model and service rates in your area.

Some causes of U60 are accessible to a knowledgeable DIYer, particularly clearing a physical obstruction from the fan or checking for loose wiring connections. However, replacing the fan motor or control board involves working near high-voltage components and is best handled by a qualified appliance technician if you are not comfortable with that level of repair.

A power reset may temporarily clear the U60 code, but the fault will return if the underlying cause has not been corrected. The cooling fan must be operating properly at the required speed before the error will stay resolved. Address the root cause first rather than relying on a reset.
