# Samsung wall oven showing -dC-

Samsung's divider splits the upper oven into two compartments.

## What -dC- actually means.

Samsung's divider splits the upper oven into two compartments. -dC- (shown as -dE- on some models) appears when the divider is put in or taken out while the oven is running, or when it is not pushed fully home.

Samsung oven display · also shown as -dE-

What to do when -dC- shows on the oven

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting someone switched on, or a state the oven entered on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a showroom mode that lights the display without heating. No part has broken and nothing has to be replaced.

### Usually leads to No repair

Remove the divider and insert it again, pushing it in all the way.

### Shows up as Oven Not Heating

The oven turns on and the display counts, but the cavity stays cold or only lukewarm after a long preheat.

### Make Samsung

A Korean electronics group whose wall ovens include models with dual cooking zones and steam features.

### Source Samsung NV51K7770D double wall oven user manual DG68-00856A-03, Information codes (Samsung download center)

In the NV51K7770D and NV51CG700D manuals as -dC-; Samsung's support page spells it -dE- or -dC-.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for -dC- on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Remove the divider and insert it again, pushing it in all the way.

02

If there is no divider in the oven, make sure nothing is pressing on the divider switch at the back.

03

Restart the oven; if the code persists, cut all power for 30 seconds and try again.

04

Book a visit if it still returns.

### Cleared?

The oven came through without a new part. If the same message returns during a later bake, or the oven stops heating partway through, book it as a fresh problem.

### What not to do

This is not a heating or sensor issue. It is about the divider and its switch.

## What you may notice with it.

The oven problems -dC- tends to arrive with. Answer these at the oven before anyone is booked.

## Questions about -dC-.

### Can I clear -dC- myself?

Remove the divider and insert it again, pushing it in all the way.

### I am not using the divider. Why does my Samsung show -dC-?

Samsung says to check that nothing presses on the divider switch at the back of the cavity. A pan or rack touching it can make the oven think the divider is in.

### Which rack does the Samsung divider go in?

On electric and dual-fuel models, Samsung puts each side in the third position from the top. Push it fully in before starting.
