Display panel dim
The display on my cooker started to dim until it finally went dark over a few weeks. Although a different make, I replaced the panel and everything is now fine. I was amazed how bright the new display was so it must have been dimming over a long period.
How to fix gas burners
The electronics are controlled by AC using a simple plug usually. If you can locate the plug and reach it you may be successful resetting things by unplugging the cord, wait a minute or two and then plug cord back in. Try the burner controller again. If still doesn't work then controller module may need to be replaced.
I need to replace two
I have replaced several of the indicator lights in the control knobs.
Turns out that Dacor doesn't sell exact replacement lights (actually LED modules).
What I did was to go to a local electronics supply store and purchase Blue replacement LEDs and a current limiting resistor to connect in series. Replacement LEDs can vary in brightness depending on your taste ... I chose a super bright LED which makes the control knobs noticeably brighter. The value of resistor will vary depending on the LED you choose (brighter LEDs need slightly more current and as such the resistor value will be slightly less).
Once you've opened the range from the top (remove knobs, grates and burners) then remove a few screws and the entire unit opens with a hinge in the back.
Look over the LED light modules which shine just below each knob and fashion a replacement LED assembly.
Total material cost per LED unit was ~ $2-3 (LED, resistor, wire and heat-shrink tubing)
