Samsung Oven / Range error codes

The codes people search for most, what each one means and what to check first. Tap a code for causes and step-by-step checks.

CodeWhat it means
C-20Oven temperature sensor error
The oven temperature sensor reads as an open circuit while the oven is running, so the control cannot measure oven temperature.
C-21Oven overheating / sensor short
The oven temperature is rising abnormally high, or the temperature sensor reads as shorted. The oven shuts off heating to stay safe.
C-d0Stuck control key
A button on the control panel has read as pressed for about a minute. The oven stops to avoid acting on a stuck key.
C-d1Door lock error
The oven door lock is not in the position the control expects, usually around a self-clean cycle. The oven may refuse to lock or unlock.
SE
5E
Shorted or stuck keypad
The control reads a key on the touchpad as shorted or constantly pressed. The oven controls may beep, lock up or not respond. This SE is on the oven control panel and is different from other Samsung appliances' SE codes.
-dC-
-dE-
Oven divider (partition) error
On Flex Duo / twin-oven models, the oven divider is not installed correctly or was moved while the oven was running.
C-24Oven heating too fast
The oven temperature is rising abnormally quickly. The control stops to prevent overheating.
C-F0
C-F2
Control communication error
Two of the range's electronic boards stopped communicating. C-F0 is between the main and sub boards; C-F2 is between the main board and the touch panel.
doorDoor not closed
The oven thinks the door is not fully closed, usually through the small plunger switch the door presses when it shuts.
tESt
tE5t
Demo mode
The range is in showroom demo mode, so the display works but the oven will not heat. This is a setting, not a failure.
