Samsung Range Error Code C-24

The C-24 error code on a Samsung range indicates that the oven's airflow monitoring system has detected insufficient ventilation through the oven vent. Samsung ranges rely on a defined airflow path to manage internal temperatures and exhaust heat and moisture during cooking cycles. When that airflow is restricted or blocked entirely, the control board registers the condition and triggers C-24 to prevent potential overheating or damage to internal components.

The most frequent cause of this error is a physical obstruction at the oven vent opening. Aluminum foil is a particularly common culprit, as it is often placed on oven racks or the oven bottom to catch drips and can shift to cover vent openings. Other items such as baking sheets, pans, or oven liners positioned incorrectly can produce the same result. The vent cover itself should also be inspected to confirm it has not been dislodged or clogged with grease or debris over time.

To clear the C-24 error, the recommended reset procedure is to open the oven door for at least 60 seconds and then press the Off key, or to disconnect power to the range entirely. If the obstruction has been removed before the reset is performed, the error should clear and normal operation should resume. If the code returns after reset and no physical blockage is present, further diagnostic investigation of the airflow sensing components may be necessary.
