# Dacor induction cooktop showing C1

C1 on a Dacor Modernist induction cooktop means the top sensor is reading shorted.

## What C1 actually means.

C1 on a Dacor Modernist induction cooktop means the top sensor is reading shorted. It is the partner of C0: the same sensor, failing the other way.

What to do when C1 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Temperature and overheat sensors

A sensor under the glass or on a board reported a reading the control rejected, or heat climbing past the safe limit — often after an empty pan was left on a zone. The zone is allowed to cool and a loose sensor plug is ruled out before the sensor, the coil assembly or the board is blamed. A top that keeps getting hotter is switched off at the breaker first.

### Usually leads to Induction board and coil repair

Induction zones that stop sensing pans, cut out, buzz or show codes, traced to the power boards, the coils, their sensors and the links to the controls.

### Shows up as Cooktop Element Not Heating

A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil.

### Make Dacor

A luxury make, part of Samsung, whose built-in cooktops show up in higher-end US kitchens.

### Source Dacor Modernist induction cooktop user manual, Information codes

Dacor Modernist induction cooktops DTI30M977BB and DTI36M977BB (manual dated 2017). Dacor gas cooktops and rangetops do not use this list.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for C1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the cooktop off, then restart it.

02

If C1 remains, disconnect power for 30 seconds or more and reconnect.

03

Book a visit if C1 is still there.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [induction board and coil repair](https://cooktoprepair.center/services/induction-board-and-coil-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

C1 does not report an overheated cooktop. A shorted sensor reading is a circuit problem.

## What you may notice with it.

The cooktop problems C1 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

## Questions about C1.

### Can I clear C1 myself?

Switch the cooktop off, then restart it. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How is C1 different from C0 on a Dacor cooktop?

Both concern the top sensor. C0 is an open reading and C1 is a shorted one; the repair path is similar.

### Could a spill under the glass cause C1?

Liquid that reaches the wiring can short a sensor circuit. A technician checks for that before replacing the sensor.

### Why does a Dacor Modernist induction cooktop stop with C1 when the glass is not hot?

C1 is a shorted reading from the top sensor, not a report of real heat. The control cannot trust the surface temperature, so it stops even on a cool top.
