Error codeC-10
ApplianceRange
Which situation are you in?
Self-diagnosis running, oven heating normally: ignore the code.
Oven began very cold or very hot: a limitation in the sensor hardware can set it off, which is not a defect.
Code shows during cooking, no diagnosis running: treat it as a possible problem and reset the oven.
Good to know
C-10 should not turn up in regular cooking. Seen during the SmartThings test, it has no effect on how usable the oven is or how well it performs, and on its own it does not point to a problem with the oven.
Compare with
Two other temperature-related range entries: the group of C-20 to C-22 sensor codes, and C-24, where the oven temperature rises faster than normal.
Samsung range service in San Francisco
If C-10 keeps appearing outside the test, phone (415) 969-6153 for Samsung range and oven repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Say whether a diagnosis was running and whether the oven heats.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so C-10 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language

C-10 can appear on a Samsung range during a SmartThings self-diagnosis and is not a defect.
