THERMADOR Error Code E14
Professional Ranges Models: PDR30/36/48…PRG30/36/48
ERROR CODE | DESCRIPTION | RESOLUTION |
CODE E14 | Turn the clock selector knob to Off Adjust the oven control by turning the clock selector knob slightly to the left (counter clockwise). This may stop the flashing message/beeping and clear the display window | Latch switch problems |
The control continuously monitors system parameters for control and oven failures and reports a fault code when a system problem is detected. The control utilizes the ovens blue “on light” and oven “heating light” to report a detected fault code. The control will continue to flash the lights in the appropriate sequence as long as the fault exists.
Detection of a fault does not hinder the ability of the control to continue to function if the fault is not critical for the intended operation. For example: If the range door latch is inoperative, the range will continue to cook since the fault would only prevent the range from self-cleaning.
HOW TO INTERPRET CODES
When a fault occurs, the control will flash the blue oven “on light” and the Blue “heating light” sequentially to indicate the fault. The fault codes have two numbers, these numbers are interpreted by the number of times the lights flash. The oven “on light” will flash indicating the first number, and the “heating light” will flash indicating the second number.
EXAMPLE:
Error E9 is…. No Cooling Fans. The code is 43. The oven “on light” will flash four times, then the “heating light” will flash three times, then pause. The sequence will then repeat as long as the fault is present.
ERROR CODES FOR OVENS WITH DREEFS CONTROL
The following chart shows the error codes that can be displayed in the Oven/Selector window during specific oven malfunctions. Some of the error messages can be cleared by performing the following steps:
1.Turn the selector knob to OFF
2.“Tweak” the oven by turning the selector knob slightly to the left (counterclockwise). This may stop the flashing message/beeping and clear the window.
3.For errors E1, E9, E11, E12 and E13, the power supply going to the even must be turned off momentarily, and back on again.
4.If an error remains displayed when the selector switch is OFF, and after attempting to clear the display, as shown in steps 2 and 3, turn off the power going to the oven, and refer to the chart below to help you find the problem.

F | Tweaking clears to “—“ for retry. |
G | Clears when the oven temperature is less then the runaway temperature with the selector switch off. |
H | Can be cancelled by tweaking if a good sensor is detected. |
I | Cleared with a mode change. |
