Switch the cooktop off and let it cool; do not keep cooking with A2 showing. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Dacor induction fan runs after cooking. Is that A2? No. A fan that keeps running for 10 to 20 minutes is normal. A2 appears when the fan cannot run at all. ### Can something under the cooktop block the Dacor fan? Dacor lists a blocked blade as one cause. Items stored too close under the cooktop or debris in the fan can do it. ### What causes does Dacor give for A2 on a Modernist induction cooktop? Dacor says the DC fan motor cannot run because of a board defect, a wiring problem or a blockage on the motor blade. A technician checks the blade and the wiring before the board. --- **[Read on the site: Dacor induction cooktop showing A2 | CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/dacor-a2/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
