What C1
actually means.
C1 is Samsung's overheat code: the internal temperature of a zone rose far above normal and the cooktop turned itself off for safety.

What to do when C1 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 C1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Take the pan off, let the cooktop cool, then restart it.
Check that nothing in the cabinet below is blocking air from reaching the underside of the cooktop.
If C1 appears again with a normal, filled pan, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into induction board and coil repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
C1 is not a warning that the surface is merely warm; that is the H or h indicator. Unlike C0, the sensor here is reporting an actual temperature rise, not a broken reading.

In Samsung's own words
This code appears if the internal temperature of a burner rises abnormally high.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. 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).
