What error code 0 means on a Samsung freestanding electric range
Pan detection error. [1]
This is a control / electronics code. Codes and wording can vary by model, so check your owner's manual for your model number.
How to fix Samsung freestanding electric range error code 0 (safe owner checks)
- Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (0) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your freestanding electric range and order the right parts.
- Check the cookware. Use the correct size of iron-containing cookware.
- Do a power reset. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker for one minute, then restore power and try again. If the code clears and stays away, it may have been a one-off fault.
- Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If 0 comes back after these checks, stop using the range for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.
The first and last steps (and the power reset) are general owner checks added by ErrorCodePro; the rest follow the Samsung freestanding electric range error-code chart published by Sears PartsDirect, rewritten for safe owner use.
