Restart the oven after pressing OFF. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is C-72 on my Samsung wall oven something I can clear? A power reset is the only step Samsung gives. If the code returns, the drain side of the steam system needs a visit. ### Does C-72 affect normal baking on a Samsung steam oven? The code is about the steam drain. Samsung's table does not say baking stops, but a recurring C-72 should be checked before the steam modes are used again. --- **[Read on the site: Samsung wall oven showing C-72 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-c-72/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
