What C1 Means
C1 is the shorted reading from the top sensor under the glass of a Dacor induction cooktop. The cooktop cannot measure the glass temperature at that zone, so it will not heat it.
Common Causes of C1
- Top sensor shorted
- Sensor wire pinched under the glass
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Switch the cooktop off and on. If C1 persists, cut the power for at least 30 seconds and restore it. Contact service if it returns.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Replacing the sensor means removing the glass top and working next to the induction coils and boards.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
