# Samsung range error code bAd LinE

### What bAd LinE means on this make

The range is telling you its power connection is not right. On a 240-volt appliance that usually means one leg of the supply is missing or the connection at the terminal block is loose — which is why an oven with this code can still light its display and still fail to heat. It is electrical work at the connection rather than a repair inside the appliance, and it is not a job to improvise.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Do not keep trying to use it. A loose connection on a 240-volt appliance gets hot.
- Have the connection at the appliance and at the breaker checked by someone qualified.
- If it was recently installed or moved, say so — that is when this appears.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [appliance control board repair](/services/appliance-control-board-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
