Samsung Range Error Code C-41

C-41 means the main PCB temperature sensor is reading as an open circuit while the oven is operating. The control board has a built-in sensor that monitors its own temperature, and an open circuit condition means that sensor's electrical path is completely broken. This fault prevents normal oven operation as a safety precaution. The main PCB must be replaced to resolve it.

You should not continue using the oven while this fault code is active. The C-41 code indicates the control board cannot monitor its own temperature, which removes a layer of thermal safety protection. Discontinue oven use until the main PCB has been replaced.

The main cost is the replacement main PCB, which typically runs in the range of $150 to $350 depending on the specific model. If you hire a technician, add labor costs of roughly $100 to $200 on top of the part price. DIY replacement eliminates the labor cost but requires careful handling of the control board.

The repair requires disconnecting power, removing the back cover of the range, and replacing the main PCB. This is a task that a confident DIYer comfortable with appliance disassembly can potentially complete, but it does involve working with the main control board. If you are not comfortable identifying and handling circuit board components, a professional repair technician is recommended.

A power reset may temporarily clear the displayed code, but it will not fix the underlying open circuit condition in the PCB sensor. The error will return once the oven is operated again because the sensor failure is a hardware fault, not a software or communication glitch. Replacement of the main PCB is the required repair.
