Dacor Range Error Code F15

The F15 code on a Dacor range indicates a defective power board. The power board controls the distribution of electrical power throughout the range, and when it fails or develops an internal fault, the range generates this error code. The range may become partially or fully non-functional until the board is replaced.

It is not recommended to continue using the range while F15 is active. A defective power board may not properly regulate power to heating elements or safety circuits, which creates a risk of uncontrolled heating or other electrical hazards. The range should remain unplugged or powered off at the breaker until the board is replaced.

The cost to repair an F15 error depends on parts and labor rates in your area. Power board replacement parts for Dacor ranges typically range from around $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific model, and professional labor charges can add $100 to $250 or more to the total. Getting a quote from a certified appliance technician before proceeding is advisable.

Resolving F15 requires replacing the power board, which involves working with high-voltage components inside the range. Technicians comfortable with appliance electronics and safe high-voltage procedures can perform this repair, but it is not recommended for those without relevant experience. Disconnecting power to the range before any inspection or repair is essential.

Resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker for several minutes may temporarily clear the F15 code, but it will return if the power board is genuinely defective. A reset does not repair a failed board and should be considered only a temporary diagnostic step, not a solution.
