Error Code C-21

Q: What does error code C-21 mean on a Samsung ovens & ranges?

Oven temperature control failure - overheating Faulty temperature sensor reading; Defective broil heater; Defective bake heater; Defective convection heater; Malfunctioning relay on Main PCB; Disconnected harness

Oven temperature control failure - overheating

Critical

Stop using immediately - risk of damage or safety issue

Also displayed as: C-21

What This Means

Faulty temperature sensor reading; Defective broil heater; Defective bake heater; Defective convection heater; Malfunctioning relay on Main PCB; Disconnected harness

What actually causes this:

Stuck relay, faulty temperature sensor, or thermistor malfunction causing false high temperature reading

First Thing to Check

Measure oven sensor resistance and check DLB relay operation

How to Fix

1
Disconnect power and open back cover
2
Disconnect sensor harness from control
3
Measure sensor resistance (should be 1080Ω at room temperature)
4
Check broil, bake, and convection heater resistances
5
Check DLB relay and heater relays for proper operation
6
Check for disconnection of harness linked with Main PCB
7
Check resistance of oven sensor connector on Main PCB with harness disconnected (Normal: 2850Ω)
