Safety & Basics

Q: I smell gas. What should I do?
A: Don’t switch anything on/off. Ventilate if safe, close the gas supply, evacuate, and call your utility/emergency services. Then contact us for leak testing and repair.

Q: Is a cracked glass cooktop safe to use?
A: No. Cracked ceramic glass can arc or cut skin and may expose live parts. Turn the breaker OFF and schedule service.

Q: My cooktop keeps clicking (gas). Normal?
A: Brief clicking is normal during ignition. Endless clicking usually means a wet/dirty igniter, misaligned burner cap, stuck spark switch, or a failed ignition module.

Q: I hear humming/buzzing (induction). Is that normal?
A: A soft hum at higher power is typical magnetics. Loud/erratic sounds can point to a cooling fan, loose ducting, or a failing power module—have it checked.

Error Codes & Locks (Model-Specific)

Samsung codes vary by platform (gas, radiant, induction). Use SmartThings/Smart Care or the tech sheet (under the unit) for exact meanings.

Q: What does E24 mean?
A: Commonly indicates over-temperature or a temperature-sensor/cooling issue (often on induction). Clear airflow to the cooling fan, let the unit cool, and power-cycle at the breaker for 3–5 minutes. If it returns, service is recommended.

Q: What does SE mean?
A: Often “Stuck Key/Touch” on Samsung touch UIs; on some models it may read as sensor error. Clean/dry the glass (moisture and cleaners can trigger false touches) and power-cycle. If SE persists, the touch board or harness may need service.

Q: The cooktop is locked and won’t respond.
A: Child/Control Lock may be on. Look for a lock icon or “Lo/LC” and follow the panel legend (e.g., press-and-hold the lock key 3–5 seconds). If it won’t clear, power-cycle at the breaker; if still locked, the UI or touch membrane may be faulted.

Q: “Pan not detected” on induction—why?
A: Use flat, ferrous cookware that fully covers the zone. Warped or too-small pans, paper towels between pan/glass, or overheated modules can cause this. Try another pan and let the unit cool.

Gas Cooktops (NG/LP)

Q: One burner won’t light or the flame is weak.
A: Check cap alignment and clean ports. For weak flame: confirm correct NG/LP orifices, proper regulator setting, and adequate supply pressure. Persistent issues can be clogged venturi, failing ignition parts, or pressure problems.

Q: Can you convert my Samsung cooktop from NG to LP (or back)?
A: Yes—with OEM conversion kits and calibrated instruments. We document pressures and label the unit per code.

Radiant Electric (Ceramic Glass)

Q: A radiant element doesn’t heat.
A: Likely an open element, failed limiter, or infinite switch issue. We test element resistance, limiter continuity, switch function, and connectors for heat damage.

Q: Hot-surface light stays on.
A: A stuck limiter or residual heat can keep the indicator lit. If it persists when cool, the limiter circuit may need replacement.

Induction

Q: Unit shuts down or throws overheat codes under heavy use.
A: Check ventilation space below, clear intake/exhaust paths, and ensure cabinets aren’t blocking airflow. We inspect cooling fans, heat sinks, and the power module (IGBT/PFC) temps.

Q: Random beeps or ghost touches.
A: Moisture on the glass, power noise, or a sensitive touch board. Clean/dry the surface, avoid overspray, and power-cycle. If recurring, we evaluate the UI, grounding, and wiring harness.

Leaks, Moisture & Installation

Q: Why is my Samsung cooktop leaking?
A: Gas units shouldn’t have water inside; “leaks” are usually cleaning moisture in the igniter area or spills wicking under the glass. Persistent moisture can corrode switches/igniters. We dry, test, and replace damaged parts; we also re-seal where the manufacturer allows.

Q: How much clearance/ventilation does my cooktop need?
A: Follow the model’s install guide for cutout size, clearance, and airflow. Insufficient space overheats electronics—especially on induction. We verify the cutout and airflow on site.

Power, Breakers & Nuisance Trips

Q: The breaker trips when I turn on multiple zones.
A: Could be a load/branch sizing issue, loose terminals, or a failing module. We check supply voltage/neutral/ground integrity, terminal torque, and inrush characteristics of the power board.

Q: Cooktop dead after cleaning.
A: Moisture in the touch area or under knobs can short controls. Let it dry fully, then power-cycle. If still dead, we check the UI and main board.

Care & Maintenance

Q: How often should I service my cooktop?
A: There’s no fixed interval, but annual checks help heavy-use kitchens—especially induction cooling paths and gas leak/pressure checks.

Q: Best way to clean the glass?
A: Use a cooktop cream and non-abrasive pad. Avoid flooding edges or spraying directly over touch controls—moisture causes false touches and SE errors.

Q: Preventive tips?
A: Keep ventilation paths clear, use correct cookware size, reseat burner caps after cleaning, and avoid oversized trays that trap heat over controls.

Understanding Samsung Error Codes

Code E-OA: This code signals that the oven is overheating.

Possible Causes:

• The oven temperature sensor is faulty.
• There may be a malfunction in the oven control board.
• Ventilation issues could be causing heat to build up.

User Actions:

• Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely.
• Check that nothing is blocking air vents.
• Inspect the oven sensor for any visible damage.

Code E24: This code indicates that the cooktop has detected an unusually high temperature.

Possible Causes:

• The cooktop's temperature sensor may be malfunctioning.
• An object on the cooktop may be causing excessive heat.
• Airflow around the cooktop may be restricted.

User Actions:

• Turn off the cooktop and allow it to cool down.
• Check for any obstructions on the cooktop surface.
• Ensure that vents around the cooktop are not blocked.

Code SE: This code indicates a function error within the system, possibly due to a short in the controls.

Possible Causes:

• A button on the control panel may be stuck or shorted.
• Issues with the oven sensor could lead to this error.
• There may be a malfunction in the control board.

User Actions:

• Turn off the cooktop and unplug it for a few minutes before plugging back in.
• Inspect the control panel for any stuck buttons or debris.
• If the issue persists, contact a technician for further assistance.

Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

If your cooktop is over 10 years old, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than repair it frequently. Consider repair costs versus the unit's value and the type of problem you're experiencing.

In Brooklyn and Manhattan, common issues often warrant repair, especially if they fall within the manufacturer's warranty period, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.
