# Samsung range error code C-10

### What C-10 means on this make

This one belongs to the SmartThings self-diagnosis rather than to cooking, and Samsung is unusually direct about it: if the oven was very cold or very hot when the test started, the sensor’s own limits produce this and it is not a defect. Their position is that a C-10 during a test on an oven that heats normally can be ignored. What matters is where you saw it. A C-10 outside a diagnostic run is a different conversation.

### 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

- Note whether it appeared during a SmartThings self diagnosis or during ordinary cooking.
- If it was during a test, let the oven settle to room temperature and run the test again.
- If the oven heats and holds temperature normally, Samsung’s own answer is that this can be ignored.
- If it appears while cooking, or the oven is not holding temperature, have it measured.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [smart diagnosis and firmware service](/services/smart-diagnosis-and-firmware-service/), 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.
