The Rational Self Cooking Center not only makes cooking easy, but it also has some helpful features for technicians who service the equipment. Perhaps one of the best features is the machine's ability to offer diagnostic codes. Each code will tell you what's wrong with the oven, allowing you to tackle the issue quicker.
Below are lists that define certain Rational SCC service codes along with their potential causes and remedies.

Our community members have posted about service codes associated with other Rational SCC models or software versions. These are some of the most helpful from over the years.
Rational Service Code 21 – SCC-62G
When a member asked what service code 21 meant on a SCC-62G in emergency mode, it spurred a very helpful discussion. Rationaltechnician provided the following answer:
On models produced up to October 2011 (index E & G), Service 21 meant only that the cam on clima motor did not do a 360 degree rotation in the?allowed 20 seconds.? Possible it did not rotate at all.
Every time the door is opened and closed while the unit is on, it does a check (initialization of the Clima Valve and times it).

What Does Service Code 33-1 Mean?
While we addressed this code above, rationaltechnician provided more details on it:
33-1 means bottom ignition module.? But this only applies on floor models such as 201 & 202.? In this case of a 102 (table model) there is only one ignition module so the -1 has no need.? But it shows anyway.
