Most Samsung ovens set the clock in one of three ways: a Clock button on the control panel, a menu on a Smart Dial model, or a settings screen on a touchscreen wall oven. The exact steps vary by model, so use this guide to find the right method, and confirm the details in your owner’s manual.
If the clock keeps losing time or the display does not respond, the oven may need repair. Bonita Appliance Repair has repaired ovens in San Diego County since 2012. See oven repair in San Diego.
Find your model type
- Range with a control panel: The panel has number keys and a Clock button.
- Range with a Smart Dial: A dial selects functions, and settings appear in a menu.
- Wall oven with a touchscreen: The screen has a settings menu, and some models set the time through Wi-Fi.
The model number is on a label on the oven frame or door edge. See how to find your appliance model number. Search the number on the Samsung support site for the manual.
Set the clock with a Clock button
- Press Clock. On some models, press and hold the button until the display changes.
- Enter the time with the number keys.
- If the oven uses a 12-hour clock, choose AM or PM when the display prompts you.
- Press Start, Set, or Clock again to save the time. The display shows which button your model uses.
Set the clock on a Smart Dial model
- Press the Settings button, or press the dial to open the menu.
- Turn the dial to the clock or time option, and press the dial to select it.
- Turn the dial to set the hour, and press to confirm. Repeat for the minutes.
- Select the AM or PM option if the display prompts you, and confirm.
Menu names differ between models. If you do not see these options, check the manual for your model.
Set the clock on a touchscreen wall oven
- Open the Settings menu on the touchscreen.
- Select the clock or date and time option.
- To set the time automatically, connect the oven to Wi-Fi if your model supports it. To set it manually, enter the time zone, the date, and the time.
- Confirm the setting.
Change the clock format
Many Samsung ovens let you switch between a 12-hour and a 24-hour clock. Look for a clock format option in the settings menu, or in the clock setup prompts. Your manual lists the option for your model.
The clock resets or shows the wrong time
A power outage, a tripped breaker, or a power surge resets most oven clocks. Set the clock again after the power returns.
If the clock resets without a power loss, the display flickers, or the buttons do not respond, reset the oven. Turn off the oven’s circuit breaker, wait 5 minutes, and turn it on. If the problem returns, the control board or the display may have failed. At Bonita Appliance Repair, an oven control board repair typically costs $250 to $400, and a technician gives you the price before any work begins.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set the clock on a Samsung oven?
Press the Clock button, enter the time with the number keys, choose AM or PM, and press Start or Set to save. Smart Dial and touchscreen models use a settings menu instead. Check your manual for the exact steps.
Why does my Samsung oven clock keep resetting?
A power outage or tripped breaker resets the clock. If it resets without a power loss, the control board or the display may have failed. A technician can test the board.
Can I change my Samsung oven to a 24-hour clock?
Many models offer a 12-hour or 24-hour option in the clock settings. Your owner’s manual lists the option for your model.
Does a wrong clock affect cooking?
The clock does not control oven temperature, but it does control timed bake and delay start features. Set the clock correctly before you use those features.
What if the Samsung oven clock does not respond?
Turn off the oven’s circuit breaker, wait 5 minutes, and turn it back on. If the display or buttons still do not respond, call a technician.
