Error codeF1
ApplianceCooktop
Quick answer
F1 is a communication error listed with F0 and F2. Restart, then disconnect power for 30 seconds.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 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
F1 is a communication error, listed in the F0, F1, F2 group.
F1 shows up on a Samsung cooktop as a communication error. Samsung’s Canadian listing places it in the F0, F1, F2 group, and that group shares one set of instructions. Samsung does not narrow the code to certain models.
Steps to try
Use the Power button to restart the cooktop.
Should F1 return, disconnect the cooktop from power, by unplugging it or turning off its breaker, for 30 seconds, then start it again.
When the code keeps appearing, request service.
Codes it is grouped with
Look at F0, where communication between the main and sub PCBs fails, and F2, which involves the touch-enabled IC. A panel that seems to be pressed constantly points to d0 instead.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
