C0 means the top sensor that watches a zone's glass temperature gave an impossible reading while the zone was on, either an open circuit or a short. The cooktop cannot regulate that zone without it. Samsung cooktop display What to do when C0 shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Temperature and overheat sensors A sensor under the glass or on a board reported a reading the control rejected, or heat climbing past the safe limit — often after an empty pan was left on a zone. The zone is allowed to cool and a loose sensor plug is ruled out before the sensor, the coil assembly or the board is blamed. A top that keeps getting hotter is switched off at the breaker first. ### Usually leads to Induction board and coil repair Induction zones that stop sensing pans, cut out, buzz or show codes, traced to the power boards, the coils, their sensors and the links to the controls. ### Shows up as Cooktop Element Not Heating A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil. ### Make Samsung A Korean electronics maker that sells built-in cooktops in the US, induction among them. ### Source Samsung NZ30A3060UK induction cooktop user manual (English), Information codes Printed in the information code tables of Samsung's manuals for the NZ30A3060UK and NZ30K7880US induction cooktops (both carry a U.S.A. warranty page). ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for C0 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Turn the cooktop off and on again; if C0 stays, cut power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds. 02 If C0 is still lit after the power cycle, leave the breaker off rather than cooking on the zones that still respond. 03 If C0 returns after that, book a visit and say which zone was on. ### Still there? It usually turns into [induction board and coil repair](https://cooktoprepair.center/services/induction-board-and-coil-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do C0 is not a pan-detection message. The pan is fine; the sensor reading is not. ## What you may notice with it. The cooktop problems C0 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

Turn the cooktop off and on again; if C0 stays, cut power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I use the other zones on my Samsung while C0 shows? Samsung's step is a restart and a power cycle. If C0 comes back, leave the cooktop off until a technician has checked the sensor. ### Why does Samsung call a zone a burner in the C0 message? The manual uses burner for each induction zone. C0 applies to the zone that was running. ### Does C0 on a Samsung NZ30 induction cooktop mean the glass sensor is open or shorted? Samsung's table for the NZ30A3060UK and NZ30K7880US lists both cases under C0: the top sensor open, or a short in it, while the zone is operating. The display does not tell you which one, so a technician measures the sensor to find out. Either way, the zone cannot hold its temperature until the reading is normal. --- **[Read on the site: Samsung induction cooktop showing C0 | CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/samsung-c0/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
