# Samsung range error code C-24

### What C-24 means on this make

The sensor has seen the cavity temperature climbing faster than it should, and Samsung names the cause it sees most: the oven vent, which is at the back of the cooktop, being covered or partly covered. A pan parked over it will do it. So will a tray, a trivet or the back edge of a large stockpot. It is the code most likely to be caused by something you can simply move.

### 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

- Look at the vent across the back of the cooktop and take anything off it.
- While it is still cooking you can help it clear by opening and closing the door for about three seconds at a time, a few times, to let the hot air out.
- Or switch the oven off and leave the door open for a minute to let it cool.
- If the vent is clear and the code returns, the temperature sensing needs measuring.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [oven sensor calibration](/services/oven-sensor-calibration/), 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.
