Error codeF1

What F1 indicates
Samsung’s Canadian listing defines F1 as a communication error. F0, F1 and F2 sit together there and are handled identically. Samsung does not restrict the code to any models.
Try these in order
Restart the cooktop by pressing Power.
If F1 reappears, disconnect the cooktop from mains power for 30 seconds, either through the plug or the breaker, then power it on.
Bay Area owners with a Samsung cooktop stuck on F1 can look at Samsung cooktop repair or dial (415) 969-6153 for San Francisco service. Note the code, the model number and anything already tried first.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
