Dacor range repair and replacement parts

Troubleshooting a gas burner that won't heat properly on your Dacor range

If neither the oven burners nor the surface burners heat properly, check the gas supply going to the range for properly supply pressure. Get help from your local gas supplier if supply pressure is deficient. A failing pressure regulator in the range can also prevent oven and surface burners from getting the right amount of gas. You may need to replace the pressure regulator if the gas supply to the range is good but gas pressure going to the oven and surface burners is weak.

For a surface burner not heating properly, clear any clogs from the burner orifice. A failed surface burner control valve can also prevent a surface burner from heating properly. Replace the burner control valve if it won’t control gas flow properly.

If your oven burner isn’t heating properly, a weak igniter may not keep the burner lit. You’ll likely need to replace the oven burner igniter if the igniter glows but doesn’t always light the oven burner.

A failed electronic oven control board or failed oven temperature sensor probe could prevent the oven from heating properly. You can test the oven temperature sensor probe by unplugging the range and measuring sensor probe resistance using a multimeter. Your meter should measure about 1,080 ohms of resistance through most Dacor oven temperature sensor probes at room temperature. Refer to the technical data sheet for the probe’s resistance specification for your Dacor range. Look for the technical data sheet in the control console or taped to the back of the range. Replace the oven temperature sensor probe if you don’t measure the correct resistance through the probe. If the probe is okay, then you may need to replace the electronic oven control board.

Some Dacor ranges use an oven thermostat to control the oven burner. Replace the oven control thermostat if it doesn’t regulate oven burner heat properly.

How to fix your Dacor range when it won't power up

If your Dacor range doesn't work at all, it's likely that the range has no electrical power for the display or controls. Possible causes are a tripped house circuit breaker for the range, a problem with the outlet cord (not plugged in or broken) or an internal wiring failure. A blown thermal fuse can prevent the control from powering up on some Dacor ranges. Some Dacor ranges have a relay control board that supplies power to the display and controls so a failed relay control board could prevent the range from working.
