Samsung Oven Error Code E-24

DIY checks firstReviewed November 2026Checked against manufacturer documentation
What this code means
E-24: Oven is overheating

The newer-generation overheating code (E-0A on older ranges). The cavity temperature rose past its limit, and the cause is the sensor, a blocked vent, or a control board that cannot switch the heat off.

Also shown as: E24

Parts are model-specific; see the note below before ordering.

Common causes

  1. The temperature sensor is faulty, so the board lets the oven run too hot
  2. A heater relay on the control board has stuck on
  3. The oven vent is blocked, trapping heat around the cavity

What to check, in order

Safety first. Switch the appliance off and unplug it before checking anything inside it. If you are not comfortable with any step, stop and call a technician.
  1. Turn the oven off and let it cool completely; do not restart it hot.
  2. Check the oven vent at the back of the cooktop and remove anything covering it.
  3. Switch off power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds, then restore it.
  4. Test the temperature sensor with a meter: about 1,080 ohms at room temperature, and well off that means replace it.
  5. If the oven overheats again with a good sensor, stop using it: the control board's relay is stuck and the board needs replacing.

Clear the code and test

  1. Fix what the checks above found first. Clearing the code without fixing the cause only brings it back.
  2. Plug the appliance back in and restore its water supply if it has one.
  3. Run the shortest programme and watch the point where the code appeared before.
  4. If the programme finishes with no code, the fault is cleared. If the code returns, write it down before calling a technician — it speeds up the diagnosis.

When to call a professional

Most cases are solved by the checks above. Book a technician if any of these apply:

  • The code comes back after you have run the checks and a test cycle.
  • You smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, or the breaker trips.
  • Water is leaking and you cannot stop it at the tap.
  • The fix needs panels opened beyond what your manual describes, or a part tested with a meter, and you are not set up for that.

When you call, give the brand, the code E-24, your model number (on a label inside the door or on the back) and the checks you already ran. It shortens the visit.

Parts are model-specific. Find your model number first — usually on a label inside the door, on the door frame or on the back — and match the part to that number before ordering.
