Quick answer
Error codes C0, C1, C2, and C3 on a Samsung cooktop indicate a sensor error or that the hob has overheated because of abnormal operation (such as operating with empty cookware). Let the hob cool down, press the Power button to reset, or disconnect power for 30 seconds if the code continues.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Never operate a cooking zone with no pan or an empty pan, do not switch off the appliance by unplugging it while an operation is in progress, and have repairs performed only by a qualified service technician.
Safe checks you can perform
- Let the hob cool down and press the On/Off control sensor to reset
- Check that the ventilation gap beneath the worktop is not covered
- Disconnect power for 30 seconds and restart the cooktop

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Diagnose persistent sensor or overheat error with a qualified technician
What they doWhen error code C0, C1, C2, or C3 continues after cooling the hob, pressing the Power button, and disconnecting power for 30 seconds, a qualified Samsung service technician records the code and operating conditions to diagnose the sensor error.
They must show youthe recorded C0, C1, C2, or C3 code and the conditions observed during diagnosis.
In writingverified sensor error code, appliance model and serial number, and diagnostic findings on the service order.
Authorised repair by a qualified technician and post-repair cooking test
What they doWith the cooktop disconnected from the power supply, the qualified service technician completes the required repair and tests the cooking zones afterward to confirm normal heating and cooling without C0, C1, C2, or C3 reappearing.
They must show younormal operation of the cooking zones and clear display readings after the repair.
In writingitemized repair details on the service invoice and confirmation of post-repair operation.

- Evidence to keep:
- Unobstructed ventilation gap between the worktop and the front of the unit below.

What it means
On Samsung cooktops (including the NZ63M3707AK induction model), error codes C0, C1, C2, and C3 indicate a sensor error or appear when the hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, such as operating with empty cookware. Seeing C0, C1, C2, or C3 alone does not prove a permanent hardware failure: the Samsung manual states that after the hob cools down, you should press the On/Off control sensor for resetting, and Samsung support guidance adds disconnecting power for 30 seconds and restarting if the error continues.
