# Dacor range showing C-F0

C-F0 means the link between the range's main board and its sub board, which Dacor calls the Main and Sub PBA, was interrupted.

## What C-F0 actually means.

C-F0 means the link between the range's main board and its sub board, which Dacor calls the Main and Sub PBA, was interrupted. Without it, commands from the panel may not reach the parts that run the oven.

What to do when C-F0 shows on the range

### Kind of code Controls and communication

The display, the main board or the induction power board lost contact with one another, or one of them failed its own self-check. A power dip, a loose cable or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a range that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker.

### Usually leads to Knobs, switches and controls

Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing.

### Shows up as Range Control Panel Not Responding

The touch keys or knobs on the range do nothing, only some keys work, the display is blank or frozen, or it beeps without starting.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for C-F0 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the knobs to OFF and restart; if C-F0 persists, disconnect all power for at least 30 seconds and reconnect.

02

If the code survives the power cycle, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [knobs, switches and controls](https://rangerepair.center/services/knobs-switches-and-controls/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

C-F0 is not a Wi-Fi or SmartThings message; the link it reports is inside the range.

## What you may notice with it.

The range problems C-F0 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

### Gas range

Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.

Dacor builds this

### Dual-fuel range

Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.

Dacor builds this

### Induction range

A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.

## Questions about C-F0.

### Can I clear C-F0 myself?

Turn the knobs to OFF and restart; if C-F0 persists, disconnect all power for at least 30 seconds and reconnect. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does C-F0 on my Dacor mean a board has to be replaced?

Not always. The code reports a broken link between two boards, and a loose connector can break it as well as a board can. The power cycle comes first; a technician then checks the connection before any part is ordered.

### How is C-F0 different from C-F2 on a Dacor range?

Both are internal link codes, but between different parts: C-F0 is the main board and the sub board, while C-F2 is the main board and the touch panel. Telling the technician which one you saw narrows the search.
