Error codeF1
ApplianceCooktop
F1 summarized
Display: F1
Appliance: Modernist induction cooktop, DTI30M977BB and DTI36M977BB
Meaning: the cooktop failed to communicate with the EEPROM
The manual prints no reset and no check for F1. Because the EEPROM is part of the electronics, a repeating F1 is something for a technician.
Other messages to look at
A failed link of another kind is F0, between the main and sub PCBs, and the touch-enabled IC link is F2. If the supply is the worry, UP covers voltage.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F1 means communications with the EEPROM failed.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.

C0 is the Modernist induction cooktop message for an open top sensor. The manual answers it with a restart, then a power cord unplugged for at least 30 seconds.
C1 signals a shorted top sensor on Modernist induction cooktops. It also appears when abnormal operation overheats the cooktop and it shuts itself off.
