Samsung Range Error Code: C-21
Unplug the range and check the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a multimeter. You should measure around 1,100 ohms of resistance at room temperature. Replace the oven temperature sensor if resistance is off by more than 200 ohms. If the oven temperature sensor resistance is okay, replace the main control board.
Samsung Range Error Code: C-24
The temperature sensor has detected that the oven’s temperature is rising higher than the normal rate. This is generally caused by the vent (which is located on the back of the cooktop) being blocked or partially blocked.
- If the vent is covered by something, like a pan, remove it.
- While still cooking, you can clear the error by opening and closing the door a few times for about 3 seconds at a time. This will allow for the release of warm air and force some out of the vent.
- You can also turn off the oven and leave the door open for 1 minute to let it cool.
Samsung Range Error Code: C-10
This code can appear when you are performing self diagnosis on an oven through the SmartThings app. It should not show up during regular cooking. The code doesn’t really indicate a problem with the oven unless it shows up outside of the diagnosis test.
When running a self diagnosis, the error may occur if the initial temperature of the oven is very cold or very hot at the start of the test. This is caused by the sensor’s hardware limitation and is not an actual defect.
If the C-10 error code appears while running the test but the oven is heating normally, the code can be ignored. This error does not affect the oven’s usability or performance.
However, if the error comes up during cooking, on its own, and without running diagnosis, it could potentially be a problem and troubleshooting steps should be taken. For example, you can try resetting the oven.
Samsung Range Error Code: bAd
The error code “bAd” on your Samsung range typically occurs when the power connection is plugged in improperly. This code is designed to alert you to a potential issue with the power supply. Fortunately, resolving this error is relatively straightforward.
Solution:
- Power Disconnection: To address the “bAd” error code, first, disconnect the power supply to the range. You can do this by either unplugging the range from the electrical outlet or by turning off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the range.
- Reconnect Properly: After ensuring that the power supply is completely disconnected, carefully inspect the power cord and the electrical outlet. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet and that there are no loose connections or frayed wires.
- Verify Polarity: Check the polarity of the power connection. In most cases, the black wire should be connected to the hot terminal, the white wire to the neutral terminal, and the green or bare wire to the ground terminal. Ensure that these connections are correct.
- Reset the Range: Once you’ve verified the power connections and corrected any issues, reconnect the power supply to the range. You can do this by plugging it back into the outlet or by turning on the circuit breaker. Ensure that the range is receiving power properly.
- Test: Turn on the range and check if the “bAd” error code has disappeared. If the power connection has been restored correctly, the error message should no longer be displayed.
If you’ve followed these steps and the error code “bAd” persists, or if you are uncertain about handling electrical connections, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance. An experienced technician can diagnose and resolve any underlying issues with the range’s power supply, ensuring safe and proper operation.
Samsung Range Error Code: tESt or tE5t
The error code “tESt” or “tE5t” on a Samsung range usually indicates that the appliance is in “Demo Mode.” Demo mode is a display mode used in stores to showcase the features of the range without actually cooking food. It is not a fault or error in the appliance’s operation.
To exit Demo Mode and return your Samsung range to normal operation, you can typically follow these steps:
- Locate the Demo Mode Button: On most Samsung ranges, there is a “Demo Mode” or “Demo” button. Look for this button on the control panel.
- Press and Hold the Demo Mode Button: Press and hold the “Demo Mode” button for a few seconds until the display or indicator lights change or turn off. This action should deactivate Demo Mode.
- Reset Power: In some cases, you may need to unplug the range or turn off the circuit breaker for a minute and then plug it back in or flip the breaker back on to ensure that Demo Mode is completely deactivated.
After following these steps, your Samsung range should no longer display the “tESt” or “tE5t” error code, and it should operate normally. If you continue to have issues or if the error code persists, consult your range’s user manual or contact Appliance Repair Los Angeles for further assistance.
Samsung Range Error Code: door
The door is not closed. If this code occurs even when the door is closed: Check the door plunger switch. It’s a round, black, plastic cap with a pin sticking out about ¾” when the door is open. It should freely move when pressed with a finger. If the plunger switch does not extend when the door is open, or if it is stiff and cannot be moved with a finger, call Appliance Repair Los Angeles to request service.
If you’ve encountered issues with your oven door, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve common problems:
1. Rack Placement Matters:
- Properly insert the oven racks by pushing them all the way in and ensuring they are on the same rack position on both sides. The same applies to any divider or partition you may have inside the oven.
2. Reattach the Door Correctly:
- If you’ve recently removed the oven door, make sure to reattach it correctly. Refer to your user manual for precise instructions on how to do this. Pay close attention to the hinges where the door connects to the oven; they should not be in an “unlocked” position, such as extended all the way out or bent up or down.
3. Verify the Door Latch Position:
- Check the door latch’s position to ensure it engages the door catch at the top of the oven door. If the latch fails to engage, the door will remain in the “locked” position, preventing it from closing properly.
4. Resetting the Door Latch:
- To reset the door latch correctly, follow these steps:
- Locate the Child Lock button on your oven’s control panel.
- Press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds while simultaneously holding down the door plunger switch.
- The door plunger switch is a small button-like component near the top of the door frame. It is normally pushed in by the door when closed.
- Apply gentle pressure to the door latch for approximately 20 seconds or until it returns to the normal, open position.
Properly maintaining and troubleshooting your oven door can help ensure it functions as intended, allowing you to enjoy hassle-free cooking.

Samsung Range Error Code: -dE- or -dC-
If you started cooking before inserting the partition, this code will display.
The partition is not installed properly.
- If the partition is in the oven, please remove it and install it properly, making sure it is pushed in all the way. Each side of the partition should be in the third position from the top (on electric and dual fuel models), or the fourth position from the top (on gas models).
- If the partition is not in the oven, verify nothing is pressing against the partition switch in the back of the oven.
Samsung Range Error Code: Ct0E
This error can occur when attempting to start Self Clean. Since the cooktop cannot be in use when running Self Clean, this error is alerting that one or more of the cooktop burners or elements are in use. Turn all burners or elements off and then you will be able to run Self Clean.
Samsung Range Error Code: Underlined “u”
The underlined u error code represents the bottom of a pot above a surface. It indicates a Pan Detection Error and only appears on induction cooktops.
If cookware is unsuitable because of its size, material, or placement on the element, an error code will appear and the pan will not heat. If the issue is not corrected, the element will turn off after 1 minute.
