Dacor Refrigerator Error Code H

The H error code on a Dacor refrigerator means that the FoodSaver module heater failed a continuity check during the FoodSaver diagnostic test. The control system detected an open or broken circuit in the heater element, which prevents the FoodSaver function from operating. The issue is typically traced to a failed heater element, a loose connector, or damaged wiring at the module.

A reset may temporarily clear the H error code from the display, but the fault will return as soon as the refrigerator runs its FoodSaver diagnostic again if the underlying heater problem has not been corrected. The only way to permanently resolve the error is to repair or replace the faulty component causing the loss of heater continuity.

If the repair requires only reseating a connector, there may be little to no parts cost involved, though a service call fee will typically apply. If the FoodSaver module itself needs to be replaced, parts and labor costs combined generally range from several hundred dollars to over five hundred dollars depending on your location and the specific model. Getting a quote from a qualified technician before authorizing the repair is recommended.

Start by inspecting all wiring connections at the FoodSaver module and reseating any loose connectors. If connections are secure, use a multimeter to test the heater element for continuity. If the heater shows no continuity, the FoodSaver module will need to be replaced, as the heater is not a separately serviceable component within the module.

The H error code relates specifically to the FoodSaver module heater circuit and does not affect the main refrigeration or freezer cooling functions. Your food should remain safe while this error is present. However, the FoodSaver feature will not operate correctly until the fault is resolved, so it is best to address the issue promptly.
