Okay... when nobody responded to my post I had to go exploring on my
own.

I finally found it!. I spent a the better part of a day removing every
screw and panel I could find. Now that I know the location of the reset
switch I can get to in less than 5 minutes.

By the way... before my Dacor elements stopped heating our oven had
been working fine for sevearl years. One night we decided to "broil on
Hi" with the door open so we could monitor the cooking. We had the
oven rack in the number three position so it wouldn't cook to fast.
After about 20 minutes of cooking "BINK" went the safety switch and the
oven shut down.

Okay... now on to the fix. FIRST: Shut off the power/circuit feeding
power to your oven.

Open the oven door that is located directly below the control panel /
LED display. In the area above the oven opening but below the control
panel you should see a series of horizontal slots. These are the slots
where the oven pulls in the air for the convection process as well as
allowing the cooler outside air to pass over the oven electronics.

If you examine the piece of metal with all the cooling slots cut in it
you should be able to see all the screws that hold it in place. Mine
had eight (8) screws. Six were easily accessed straight in from the
front, two were vertical in that they were screwed up into the bottom
edge (underside) of the control panel. Once all the screws are out the
piece of sheet metal should pull free. There is no need to remove the
control panel!

NOTE: From this point on I will describe were I found "my" reset
switch. Yours may or may not be in the same immediate vicinity.

Clarification: I was looking for a Micro switch. Micro misled me to
think the switch would be real small. I spent way too much time
studying each electronic component on the system board trying to decide
which one might be the reset switch.

Once your piece of sheet metal is removed.... look into the cavity. You
will see an assortment of wires and the electronics board. FACT: The
micro switch "is not" on the electronics board , nor is it on the
control panel,. (Nor is it very micro.)

To help you visually locate the switch... understand the switch is
mounted standalone (all by itself). It's not on a board or part of any
other assembly. Now... get a mental image of a 25 cent piece (a US
quarter). Imagine the quarter is lying flat on the table (heads or
tails doesn't matter) In the dead center of the quarter, imagine a
purple or red push button that is about the size of a pencil eraser.
(1/4 inch in diameter) This is the reset button. On each side of the
reset button are two terminals with a black wire attached to each of
the terminals. NET: The reset button is nestled "between" the two
wires. Be aware the wires make it hard to see the reset button itself.


Next, also imagine the quarter is about one half inch thick. Last...
imagine the quarter is now standing vertically on its edge. Because the
quarter is standing on its edge, you will need to push the reset button
in with a movement parallel to the floor (like ringing a doorbell)
rather than being able to push it straight down like you might if the
switch was laying flat .

This round vertically oriented switch body is mounted on a metal
bracket and the metal bracket is screwed to the top of the oven. The
entire switch and mounting bracket are only about one inch tall and one
inch wide by one half inch thick. The round portion of the switch body
is silver (metallic) on one side and black on the other.
In my oven, the switch assembly was mounted just left of center in
about 6 inches from the front edge. Push the reset button...

NOTE: You might want to turn the power back on and test the elements
for heating before putting the panel back on.
