# Dacor WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK: the microwave is back from a power cut

Dacor's countertop and convection models, and the convection microwave hood combination, greet you with this line whenever power returns.

## What WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK actually means.

Dacor's countertop and convection models, and the convection microwave hood combination, greet you with this line whenever power returns. It asks for two things, STOP/CLEAR and then the clock, because the outage cleared both the time and anything that was cooking.

What to do when WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK shows on the microwave

### Kind of code Power and supply

The microwave has noticed trouble with the power reaching it: an outage or a brownout that interrupted a cycle, a voltage too low for the magnetron to start, or a supply that dipped when something else on the circuit switched on. As often as not the cause is the circuit, the outlet in the cabinet above or the breaker rather than the unit; a main fuse that blows again after a reset points inside, where only a technician goes.

### Usually leads to Microwave diagnostic visit

A visit that times a cup of water against the clock, checks the door and its switches, then tests the high-voltage section, the controls and the moving parts one at a time until a single part is named.

### Shows up as What a Microwave Error Code Is Telling You

A microwave error code may be a letter and a number on the display, a lock or demo word, a row of dashes, or a beep with a blinking clock, and it can show while the microwave still heats or block every key until it is cleared.

### Make Dacor

Dacor microwave visits start with the story of the last cook: what was inside, how long it ran and what the door window showed.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Touch STOP/CLEAR, then set the clock.

02

Check any food that was cooking and start again from the beginning.

03

If the greeting keeps returning without a house outage, look at the breaker and book a visit to check the supply to the microwave.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [microwave diagnostic visit](https://microwaverepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

The greeting is not a repair message on its own. It is also unrelated to the slim DMO30U970S model, which uses information codes and a different setup screen.

## What you may notice with it.

The microwave problems WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK tends to arrive with. Answer these at the microwave before anyone is booked.

## Questions about WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK.

### Can I clear WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK myself?

Touch STOP/CLEAR, then set the clock. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Dacor countertop microwave keeps saying WELCOME. Is it resetting itself?

It is reacting to lost power. A plug that is loose, an outlet shared with a heavy appliance or a tripping breaker is the usual reason.

### Why does my Dacor PCOR30S show WELCOME after a thunderstorm?

A short outage is enough to clear the clock. Touch STOP/CLEAR and set the time.

### Is it safe to keep using a Dacor microwave that shows WELCOME often?

The message itself is harmless, but frequent power loss is worth tracing, especially if the breaker trips while the microwave runs.
