What tESt
actually means.
tESt, sometimes shown as tE5t, is Samsung's Demo mode for store displays. The oven and electric elements will not heat, although gas burners still light.

What to do when tESt shows on the rangeKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the range was told to do, or a state it chose on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a demo mode that lights the display but never heats, a pan warning on an induction zone. Nothing has worn out, and no part is needed.
Usually leads toNo repair
Look up the Demo mode steps for your model in the user manual and turn it off.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for tESt on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Look up the Demo mode steps for your model in the user manual and turn it off.
If the setting is not in the menu or the code returns, book a visit.
Cleared?
The range was set right without a new part. If the same message comes back while a burner or the oven is in use, or the range cuts out again, treat it as a new problem and book it.
What not to do
tESt is a setting, not a failed heating part.

All 15 Samsung codesMode, not a failure on other makes
Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
In Samsung's own words
The range is in Demo mode. The oven and cooktop will not heat. (Gas cooktops will still ignite.)
