Quick answer
C2 on a Samsung cooktop reports a PBA sensor problem.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so C2 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
What this code means
