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.
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.
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.

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:
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.
