Samsung Range Error Code C-24

C-24 on a Samsung range means the oven has detected insufficient airflow through its ventilation system. The control board monitors airflow to protect internal components from overheating. The error is most often caused by a physical obstruction such as aluminum foil or a pan blocking the oven vent opening. Removing the blockage and resetting the range typically resolves the issue.

You should stop using the oven when C-24 is active, as the code indicates that heat and moisture are not venting properly. Continuing to cook with a blocked vent could lead to overheating of internal components. Clear the obstruction and reset the range before resuming normal use.

In most cases, fixing C-24 costs nothing because it requires only removing a physical obstruction like foil or a pan. If the vent cover is damaged and needs replacement, parts and labor costs are typically in the range of $50 to $150 depending on the specific model and service rates in your area. If a faulty sensor or control board is involved, repair costs can be higher, generally ranging from $150 to $400 or more.

Start by turning off the oven and opening the oven door for at least 60 seconds, then press the Off key to reset the error. Before or during the reset, check the oven interior for aluminum foil, large bakeware, or any liner that may be covering the vent. Also inspect the vent cover on the range for grease buildup or physical damage. If the obstruction is cleared and the reset is performed correctly, the error should not return.

A reset will clear the C-24 error, but only if the underlying airflow obstruction has been removed first. If the blockage is still present or the vent is damaged, the error will return once the range is used again. Addressing the root cause before resetting is the key to a lasting fix.
