What bAd LinE Means
bAd LinE on Samsung’s range article means the range’s power connection is not properly plugged in or seated, not a failed part. Samsung’s fix is to check the connection and reconnect it correctly.
Common Causes of bAd LinE
- Power cord not fully seated in its outlet or terminal block
- Loose wiring at the range’s power connection box
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
With the range pulled out and power removed, check the cord or the junction box connection at the back for a plug that is not fully seated or wiring that looks loose, reseat or reconnect it as your model’s installation instructions show, then push the range back and restore power.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- A range’s power connection carries the full circuit for the oven and cooktop; confirming and correcting it, especially on a hardwired unit, is safest left to whoever installed it or a technician.
