Samsung Range Error Code Line Error

Line Error on a Samsung range means the appliance has detected that the power supply cable is incorrectly installed or the electrical connection is improperly wired. The range checks its incoming power during startup and displays this message when it finds a problem with the supply connection. It is not an internal component failure but rather a signal that the power wiring needs to be inspected and corrected.

Yes, an incorrectly wired power connection can pose a serious electrical safety risk, including the potential for shock, overheating, or fire. You should not attempt to use the range while this error is displayed. If you are not comfortable working with 240-volt wiring, contact a licensed electrician or appliance technician to inspect and correct the connection before operating the appliance.

If the issue is simply a loose or incorrectly connected wire at the terminal block, the repair may cost nothing if you handle it yourself, or roughly $75 to $150 if you hire a technician for a service call. If a new power supply cord is needed, parts typically range from $20 to $60 depending on the cord type. If the home's circuit wiring is found to be at fault, an electrician's repair could range from $100 to $300 or more depending on the scope of work.

Start by disconnecting the range from power and inspecting the terminal block connections at the rear of the appliance. Confirm that each wire from the power supply cord is connected to the correct terminal and that all connections are tight and secure. Also verify that the wiring configuration matches the cord type being used, either 3-wire or 4-wire. Once the connection is corrected and power is restored, the Line Error message should disappear.

Simply resetting the range by cycling power will not clear the Line Error if the underlying wiring problem has not been corrected. The error is generated because the range detects an issue with the incoming power supply, and it will continue to display the message each time power is applied until the connection is properly installed. The error should clear on its own once the wiring is fixed and the range is powered back on.
