How to Reset Samsung Oven (Step-By-Step Guide)

Your Samsung oven most likely doesn’t have a reset button, but there are various ways to reboot it. When it comes to Samsung appliances, you can usually reset them by pressing a button combination specific to your unit.

Or, you can turn your oven off at the circuit breaker. It’s easier, faster, and often more effective.

Here, we will help you understand the difference between a soft reset and a hard reset. We’ll also show you how to reset different types of Samsung ovens. 

How to Reset a Samsung Oven

To factory reset a Samsung oven, turn it off at the circuit breaker for at least 30 seconds. Turn it back on to reboot your appliance.

You can opt to soft reset your oven if you only want to clear error codes or unintended settings. Just press the Off/Clear button on the display.

Differences	Soft Reset	Hard Reset
Method	Press the Off/Clear button.	Turn off the oven at the circuit breaker. Wait for at least 30 seconds. Turn it back on to reboot your oven.
Purpose	• Clear inaccurate or unintended settings • Clear error codes caused by system glitches	• Clear error codes • Reset the network • Reboot the system after a power interruption • Restart a non-responsive control panel • Reboot the system after spending a long time in storage

Soft Reset

A soft reset will restart your Samsung oven without erasing too much data. It mostly cancels the functions and settings that are currently in use.

If you’ve entered inaccurate settings, you can cancel it with a soft reset instead of doing a hard reset. You can also opt to do a soft reset when your oven isn’t responding to the commands you’ve entered, or when it is running slow.

To soft reset a Samsung oven, push the Off/Clear button on the control panel for at least three seconds. It should clear the unintended or inaccurate settings that you’ve inputted and cancel any ongoing functions.

Hard Reset

A hard reset reboots your Samsung oven. It is also called a factory reset because it restores your appliance to its default settings.

If you hard reset a Samsung oven, it will erase data such as your network settings and time. You’ll have to set the clock and connect your oven to a network again once it restarts.

To hard reset a Samsung oven, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Turn off the Samsung oven at the circuit breaker.
• Step 2: Wait for at least 30 seconds.
• Step 3: Turn it back on.

Whether you have a Samsung range or a wall oven, this method will work for all models.

How to Reset Samsung Smart Range

To reset a Samsung range with a number pad, push the Keep Warm and number 3 buttons for three seconds. Then, press Smart Control until CLr appears on the display.

If a Samsung range doesn’t have a number pad, press the Timer and Down buttons to reset it. Next, press Smart Control until you see CLr.

Why should I hard reset my Samsung oven?

A hard reset might be necessary when your Samsung oven is having performance issues or showing glitches. 

When you’re buying or selling a secondhand oven, you must perform a hard reset to remove any personal data and prevent it from getting into unauthorized hands.

The oven isn’t working properly after a power interruption.

Power outages can make your Samsung oven malfunction. When your display is empty, blinking, or partially blank, you can reset the appliance to clear the glitch.

An error code is displayed on your Samsung oven.

Resetting your Samsung oven can clear any error code on your display, particularly when it’s caused by a glitch in the system. If a soft reset can’t resolve your error code, you can perform a factory reset.

However, if the error recurs, your oven is most likely in need of repair. You can inspect your appliance and look for the root cause of the error.

Depending on your skill and confidence, you may troubleshoot the error. Or, you can call Samsung support and request service.

The control panel isn’t responding.

Another instance that calls for a hard reset is when your control panel isn’t responding to your touch. In most cases, turning it off at the circuit breaker for at least 60 seconds should resolve any issues with your control panel.

However, you might also have to clear any dust and grime on your control panel using a damp cloth.

The oven was in storage for a long time.

If your oven hasn’t been used for a long time, you should do a hard reset just to clear any possible errors and glitches in your appliance. 

Restoring it to its factory settings should give it a fresh start. You can make sure that everything is running the way it should and that all of its settings are accurate.
