What bAd LinE means

On Samsung ranges and wall ovens in the US, bAd LinE means the power connection is not plugged in properly. The control is telling you that the supply is not seated or wired correctly, so the oven cannot run as intended. The owner sees bAd LinE on the display, often right after installation, a move, or pulling the range out for cleaning. Because this involves the main power feed, it is treated as a safety matter and not as a casual reset.

Common causes of bAd LinE

  • Range cord or plug not fully seated in the outlet
  • Terminal block or wall connection not made correctly
  • Loose or damaged supply connection after the range was moved
  • Installation wiring that does not match the manual
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn off the range at the breaker. 2. Do not pull the range out and do not open any rear panel yourself. 3. If the range was recently moved or installed, ask the installer to reconnect the power per the installation manual. 4. After the connection is corrected, restore the breaker and check the display.

! Why to stop there
  • We confirm the supply and the connection at the range, which is work that should not be done by an owner
  • We check that the wiring matches the installation requirements for that range
  • You approve a written price before we touch the connection, and our workmanship is warranted for 30 days
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

bAd LinEbAd LinE questions
Why does bAd LinE appear after moving the range?

Pulling a range out can loosen the cord or its connection. The control notices that the power connection is not seated properly and displays bAd LinE until it is corrected.

Can I push the plug in myself?

If it is a cord and plug that has simply come out, switch off the breaker first. Anything involving the rear panel or terminals should be done by an installer or by us.

Is bAd LinE a control board failure?

Usually it points to the connection and not the board. We test the supply and the connection before suggesting anything more. That keeps the repair focused on the real cause.
