Dacor Oven fan won't turn off

If your Dacor oven fan won't turn off, first allow the oven to cool completely. The cooling fan may run for more than an hour after cooking, especially after a high-temperature cycle, and this is normal. If the oven fan keeps running after the oven is cool, a stuck relay on the oven control board may be sending continuous power to the fan motor. Check the wiring diagram before replacing the board, since control boards are often misdiagnosed. The main control board can cause the same problem when a relay shorts closed. Less commonly, a defective high-limit thermostat or thermostat may continue sending voltage to the fan after the oven has cooled. You can test either thermostat for continuity with a multimeter. If the high-limit thermostat lacks continuity, or the thermostat shows continuity at any temperature, replace the faulty part. These issues can make it seem like your Dacor oven fan won't turn off or that the oven fan keeps running. Enter your model number to find the exact oven control board, main control board, high-limit thermostat, or thermostat for your specific Dacor oven.

01 - Dacor Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board

The oven control board has relays that regulate power to the bake, broil and fan circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If one of these relays shorts out, the control board may send continuous voltage to the oven fan. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the control board, first check the oven thermostats. If an oven thermostat fails, it may cause the oven fan to run continuously.

02 - Dacor Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

If the oven fan is not shutting off, a relay on the control board may be stuck closed sending constant power to the oven fan. Check the wiring diagram first before replacing the board. Control boards are often misdiagnosed.

03 - Dacor Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board has relays that send voltage to the fan motor. If one of the control board relays shorts closed, the control board may send continuous voltage to the fan. If the fan continues to run after the oven is turned off and cooled down, the main control board is likely defective. If the control board is defective, replace it.

04 - Normal Cooling Down Period

The oven cooling fan may run well over an hour after the oven is shut off to cool down the components. The hotter the temperature was set the longer the cooling fan needs to run to cool off the oven. This is normal.

05 - Dacor Range/Stove/Oven High Limit Thermostat

The high limit thermostat sends voltage to the oven fan as the oven heats up. If the high limit thermostat is defective, it may keep sending voltage to the oven fan after the oven has cooled down. To determine if the high limit thermostat is at fault, use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If the high limit thermostat does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Dacor Range/Stove/Oven Thermostat

The thermostat sends voltage to the oven fan as the oven heats up. If the thermostat contacts are stuck closed, the thermostat may continue to send voltage to the oven fan after the oven has cooled down. To determine if the thermostat is at fault, use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If the thermostat shows continuity at any temperature, this indicates that the thermostat is defective. If the thermostat is defective, replace it.
