What C0
actually means.
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.

What to do when C0 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTemperature 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 toInduction 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 asCooktop 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.

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.
Turn the cooktop off and on again; if C0 stays, cut power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds.
If C0 is still lit after the power cycle, leave the breaker off rather than cooking on the zones that still respond.
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. 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.
