Quick answer
C1 on a Samsung cooktop is a sensor error for temperature above the specified level.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so C1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
