What to do when F1 shows on the cooktopKind of codeBoards and communication
The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker.
Usually leads toTouch control repair
Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting.
Shows up asCooktop Controls Unresponsive
Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for F1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Restart the cooktop, then cut power for more than 30 seconds if F1 remains.
If F1 is still lit after the power cycle, keep the breaker off rather than restarting the cooktop over and over.
If F1 shows up again after that, book a visit.
What not to do
F1 is not an overheat code. It also has nothing to do with the cooking zones themselves, since the failed link is between the main board and its memory chip.
