Dacor Appliance Repair in Los Angeles

Dacor is about as LA as an appliance brand gets. Started in Pasadena back in 1965, headquartered out in City of Industry until 2021, which probably explains why so many kitchens here have one. Mostly we get called for wall ovens. After that it's pro ranges, induction cooktops, column fridges, dishwashers, warming drawers. Old Renaissance and Discovery ovens, newer Modernist and Heritage, we work on all of them. Since 2016 Dacor has been owned by Samsung.

$65 diagnostic applied toward an approved repair • Clear estimate before work begins • 183-day parts and labor warranty.

Call before 11 and we can often get out the same day for the diagnostic. Dacor parts aren't always on a local shelf, especially oven boards and touch panels, so a lot of Dacor jobs take two visits: find it, order it, come back and put it in. You'll know the wait before you agree to anything.

Most of our Dacor calls are wall ovens, and most of those throw a code. The codes aren't identical across every Dacor generation, so we go by the model, but on many of them F2 means the oven ran hotter than it should and F3 means the temperature sensor reads shorted. F2 plus an oven that keeps heating after you hit Cancel? Breaker off. That's usually a relay stuck closed on the board.

We don't jump to the board, though. Sensor and harness first, then the connector at the back of the cavity, then the door switch. A Dacor oven can look completely dead because of one scorched connector, or because the door sagged a couple of millimeters and stopped pressing its switch. Gas ranges, same idea: a burner that clicks but won't light is usually wet, dirty, or has a cracked igniter. The spark module comes later.

Dacor ovens usually sit in custom cabinetry. When one has to come out of the wall, we protect the trim and the floor first.

Sensors, igniters, elements, fan motors, door locks: on a Dacor, replace them and move on. You paid real money for that oven, and the cabinet was probably built around it.

The tougher spot is an older wall oven that needs a board or display nobody makes anymore, or a fridge with a sealed-system failure. We find out what's actually available, then give you the numbers. Your call from there.

No. We're independent. Dacor and Samsung haven't authorized us, and we're not affiliated with either. Still under warranty? Call Dacor first.

On a lot of Dacor wall ovens, F2 is an over-temperature shutdown: the oven got too hot and cut the heat. If it's still heating after you press Cancel, kill it at the breaker. Usually that's a relay stuck on the control board. Sometimes it's the sensor giving a bad reading.

Not necessarily. Most of the time it's moisture from a spill or from cleaning. Let it dry out, check the cap, try again. If it keeps clicking, we test the igniter, the wiring and the spark module.

$65, and it comes off the bill if you go ahead with the repair. You get a written estimate before any work begins.

Sure, Renaissance and Discovery ovens too. A few of their boards and displays are discontinued, so we look up parts right away and tell you before you've spent anything past the diagnostic.

If you call before 11 AM, we can often do the diagnostic that day. Dacor parts tend to be special order, though, so plan on a second visit to install once the part arrives.
