Dacor Range Error Code F14

F14 on a Dacor range indicates that the power board has been detected as defective. The power board supplies regulated voltages to the control electronics and other components throughout the range. When it fails, the range cannot operate normally and will display the F14 fault code. Replacing the power board is the required corrective action.

Resetting the range by cycling power at the breaker or unplugging it will not clear the F14 error permanently. Since the code is caused by a physically defective power board, the fault condition will return as soon as the range attempts to power up and the control system detects the board failure again. The error will only be resolved after the faulty power board has been replaced.

Repair costs for an F14 error will vary depending on the specific Dacor range model and where you source the replacement power board. Parts costs for a power board typically fall in the range of $100 to $350 or more depending on the model. If you hire a technician, labor charges will add to that total, bringing the overall repair cost to roughly $200 to $600 or higher in some cases.

The F14 error requires replacing the power board, which involves working inside the range near high-voltage components. A technically skilled DIYer who is comfortable working with appliance electronics and understands electrical safety precautions can perform this repair. However, because the power board handles line voltage, many homeowners prefer to have a qualified appliance technician complete the replacement to ensure safety and correct installation.

You should not attempt to use the range while the F14 error is active. A defective power board means the control electronics are not receiving proper voltages, which can cause unpredictable behavior from the control system. Continued use in this condition could pose a safety risk or cause additional damage to other components in the range.
