I think I have the same problem. I was broiling last week and left the door ajar, half way through the cooking, the oven quit and I couldn't restart it. The panel seems to be working and the fans come on, but it won't heat past 135. It almost seemed like the reflection of the broiling pan knocked out the electrical or something. HELP - this is the second time I've had a problem with this stupid oven.

I have the absolute same problem. I found the red reset button, pushed it inward and I heard no click or tripping sound. There was no pressure on the switch to tell me the switch was reset.
This did not cure the problem. In reading other posts, I'm questioning whether I should have tried pushing the switch downward toward the floor instead of inward parallel to the floor.
Does anyone know whether the red switch provides a bit of pressure when pushing on it? Or does it click when reset?
Any help is appreciated. We've had the oven for four years and this is the first problem. I have the absolute same problem. I found the red reset button, pushed it inward and I heard no click or tripping sound. There was no pressure on the switch to tell me the switch was reset.

I have the same issue. My oven takes >30 min to pre-heat. I can see the red reset button but not sure how to reset it. I've read others post to reset it with the power off so I turned it off at the breaker and pushed the button. Don't know if it should click? How does it reset without any power?I have the same issue.

There is a manual reset button behind the vent under the touch pad. Turn off the power. Open the door. Remove the vent. Behind the latch is a two wire switch. press the red button on it until it clicks. reassemble and turn on power. It over heated when the power went off by stopping the cooling fan.
Open the oven door and unscrew the vented panel at the top. Make sure the oven is off. Atop the electronics in there you'll see a little red button. Push it. Voila.
EUREKA! I found the reset button and my oven is heating as we speak. Ok, open the oven door. there is a thin panel with vents right at the door latch. Unscrew the (6) screws and pull off the panel. There is a red button on the left back behind the wiring. GOOD LUCK!
like another person stated-from the front behind the door, take off the 6 screws and the cover by the latch. there is an "oven hi temp limit switch" It is crome with 2 heavy black wires connected to it. On the back side of this is a small red button which will reset the limit switch. I had the same issue (everything worked except the any of the heating elements) and quickly resolved.
On my Dacor oven whenever I use the self cleaning feature it trips the breaker and the oven doesn't heat up. It can be reset, but you need to take off the front panel and reach way back for the red reset button.
I also have a Dacor Model PCS130. This solution worked AND saved me from spending $50-$105 for a service technician to come out just to look at the problem.
The high temperature sensor tripped when I kept the door open part way while broiling (never listen to friends who don't have the same oven as yours). Afterwards, I couldn't get the oven to go above the prebake temperature of 135°F using any of the settings (bake, broil, convection bake, etc...).
I called Dacor customer service and they told me about the high temperature sensor but wouldn't say how to reset it. They suggested I call a third party technical service company and gave me their numbers. But, I'm glad I found this site...
All you have to do is open the oven door and you'll see the grille/grate/steel cover plate where the door latch sticks out of. If you look inside, you can see the electronics that operate the door latch as well as the temperature sensor unit a little farther back. You can even see the RED reset button. But, it's a little too far back for you to press it without removing the cover plate.
6 screws is what holds my cover plate in place. Once that's off, you can reach in and press the RED reset button (I pressed it twice just to make sure) and you'll hear it click. Screw the cover plate back in place. Close the oven door and test it out.
It took my oven about 5 minutes to heat up past 135°F so I was unsure if the problem was fixed or not during that time. But, once the oven heated up sufficiently, the temperature began climbing fairly quickly and I was able to breath a sigh of relief. It works!
This is such an easy fix, I don't know why Dacor customer support doesn't just tell us how to do it ourselves instead of paying for a service tech to come out and do the same thing. Even better, maybe they should make the reset button more easily accessible (like on the control panel) if they're concerned about people getting in and messing up the other electrical connections when trying to reset the high temperature switch. Computers are far more technically advanced than your oven and THEY have reset/reboot buttons right in front.
