Every string here was read in the maker's own documentation. Where a machine publishes nothing, this site says so and works from evidence instead — which on this badge covers most of the equipment. 13 — codes published 8 — documented signals with no code 5 — machines that publish nothing Every one — read in the maker's own documentation ## By machine, and by which half of the badge it is on Type what the panel shows and the index will find it. On the indoor equipment include the digits after the letter — they are the message, and the letter on its own matches five different conditions. On the outdoor equipment there is nothing to type, because there is nothing displayed: those rows are signals, and they are listed here so that the absence is visible rather than assumed. 5 of the 7 machines on this badge publish no code at all. If yours is one of them, the symptom pages are the honest place to start, and the signals below are what the maker documents instead. ## Two makes wearing one badge The outdoor half of DCS publishes no error table of any kind. Its own user guide writes the entire troubleshooting section as questions — why is the flame yellow, why will it not light, why the flare-ups, why can I smell gas. Those are signals, they are documented, and this site publishes them as signals. The indoor half publishes decoded tables: not a list of bare numbers to be looked up, but which board, which link, which kind of error. They are not the same thing and we do not present them as one. ## The maker has already done the decoding On every other make we work, the value of a code page is decoding a number nobody publishes the meaning of. Here the manufacturer publishes the meaning itself, so a page saying ‘F1 means an error on your DCS oven’ would offer less than the maker does and send a reader away with nothing. So the sub-errors have pages and the bare letter does not. One of them means the control does not recognize the model it is fitted to — a mismatch created by an earlier repair, which no amount of further replacing will clear. ## Four things about reading a code here Indoors - Write the whole string down, digits included, before it clears - The letter alone narrows almost nothing - Power down at the breaker for a full minute, not at the appliance switch - Say whether anybody has replaced a part recently Outdoors - There is no code and no display — that is how the equipment is built, not a defect - Flame color, how many burners, and what changed are the evidence - A match lighting what the ignitor will not is worth saying - A smell of gas stops everything else ## By symptom instead Most people arrive here with a behavior rather than a string. ## Two published articles are missing from this archive on purpose DCS publishes separate error-code articles for the WOS and WOSD wall oven generation and for the WOSV230 and WODV230 alert codes. We know they exist and we have not read them, so nothing from them appears here and none of it has been guessed at from the pattern of the table we did read. If your oven shows a string this archive does not carry, that is why — tell us and we will look it up properly rather than improvising. ## The questions this page is asked My grill shows no code at all. Is something wrong with the display? — There is no display. The outdoor equipment on this badge has no control panel to show a code on and no table behind it, and that is how it was built rather than something that has failed. The symptom pages are where the answers for that half of the brand live. Why do some pages here have no code in the title? — Those are signals — documented symptoms from the maker's own guide, with no code attached because none exists. A yellow flame and a tripped limiting device are as real as any string on a display; they are simply reported by the machine in a different language. What does the code about the model identity mean? — That the two boards inside the oven disagree about which oven they are in. It follows a repair rather than a failure: a replacement fitted from the wrong variant, or fitted without its identity being set. The cure is configuration, and buying a second board does not help. ## What is not in this archive, and why ### Nothing invented, and nothing borrowed 13 codes across 4 platforms, every one read in the maker’s own documentation. Two articles are known to exist and have not been read, and they are named here rather than quietly left out. Nothing has been inferred from the shape of a table we do read. ### And nothing pretending to be a code 5 of the machines on this site publish nothing at all, and each of those absences was read in the documentation rather than concluded from a blank display. Where a page here has no code in its title, it is a signal — a real, documented symptom that this make reports without a string. ## Not sure which of these it is? Tell us what the machine is doing, whether it is indoors or out, and what it is built into. That is usually enough for us to say which page you are on. Where a diagnostic is the right next step it is from $95, credited toward the repair. --- **[Read full article: DCS error codes, and the half of this brand that has none](https://dcsmiami.support/error-codes-archive/)**
