Short answer
C-A2 is a cooling motor warning. According to the Dacor manuals, the motor is behaving abnormally, and the only instruction given is to call for service. No reset, cleaning step or owner check is listed beside it.
Where Dacor lists it
Modernist wall oven DOB30M977
Combi oven DOC30*977D*
Modernist Pro range DOP36/48M86D
Every one of these belongs to the current Dacor generation.
What the manual tells you
Call for service. That is the complete entry for this code.
Other codes you might be seeing
C-31 points to a PCB that is too hot, which is another entry with a call-for-service answer.
C-70 concerns the steam sensor, so check it if the display names that part.
