Samsung Stove Clock Settings by Model

This guide walks you through setting the clock on Samsung ranges and ovens, covering the different control panel types used across their models. You’ll learn the exact button sequences for digital touch, knob, and older push-button panels, plus how to fix common issues like a blinking clock or a time that won’t hold.

What You’ll Need

  • Your Samsung stove’s model number (usually on a sticker inside the oven door or on the back)
  • A few minutes of uninterrupted time—the clock setting mode often times out after 10–25 seconds

Step-by-Step

Identify Your Control Panel Type

First, look at your stove’s control panel. Samsung has used three main styles over the years:

  • Digital touch (glass) panel – flat surface with touch-sensitive buttons like “Clock,� “Settings,� or a gear icon.
  • Knob and button panel – physical knobs for oven functions and a small digital display with buttons like “Clock,� “Timer,� or “Set.�
  • Older push-button panel – dated models with a row of physical buttons and a simple LED display.

If you’re unsure, look for the model number (e.g., NE58K9430SG, NX58H5600SS) and search “Samsung [model number] manual� online—the manual will show your exact panel.

Method 1: Digital Touch Panel (Most Common on 2016+ Models)

  1. Ensure the oven is off and the display is showing the time (not a timer or cooking mode).
  2. Press the Clock button. On some models, it’s labeled Settings or has a small clock icon. If you don’t see it, press Settings and scroll to “Clock.�
  3. The time display will start blinking (usually the hour digits).
  4. Use the + and − buttons (or the number pad) to set the hour. If you have a knob, turn it to adjust.
  5. Press Clock or OK again to move to the minutes. The minutes will blink.
  6. Set the minutes using the same plus/minus or number pad.
  7. Press Clock or OK once more to confirm. The display will stop blinking and show the new time.

Method 2: Knob and Button Panel (Common on Slide-In and Freestanding Gas Ranges)

  1. Make sure the oven is off. Press the Clock button (usually located near the display).
  2. The display will show a blinking time (e.g., “12:00�).
  3. Turn the knob (the same one used for temperature) to adjust the hour. Turning right increases, left decreases.
  4. Press Clock again to switch to minutes.
  5. Turn the knob to set the minutes.
  6. Press Clock one final time to save. The time will appear solid.

Method 3: Older Push-Button Models (e.g., NE58 series from ~2012–2015)

  1. Press Clock once. The display will blink.
  2. Use the number pad to enter the current time in 24-hour format (e.g., 3:30 PM = 1530).
  3. Press Clock again to confirm. The display will stop blinking.

If your model uses a 12-hour format with AM/PM, you may need to press a + or − button to toggle AM/PM after entering hours, then press Clock.

Method 4: Using the Settings Menu (Newer Smart Models, e.g., 2020+ with Wi-Fi)

  1. Press the Settings (gear) icon on the touchscreen or touch panel.
  2. Scroll to Clock or Time and select it.
  3. Choose Set Clock.
  4. Enter the hour and minute using the on-screen keypad or the knob.
  5. Confirm with OK or Save.

Common Mistakes

  • Not pressing Clock to confirm each step. If you set the hour and then immediately set the minutes without pressing Clock, the oven may ignore your entry.
  • Using the wrong time format. Many Samsung models default to 24-hour (military) time. If you enter 3:00 PM as “3� instead of “15,� the clock will show 3:00 AM.
  • Setting the clock while the oven is in a cooking mode. The clock button might be disabled or act as a timer.
  • Forgetting to press “Clock� at the end. If you walk away, the display will revert to the old time after a few seconds.
  • Confusing the timer with the clock. The “Timer� button sets a countdown, not the time of day.

Tips

  • Write down your model number before starting. It’s on the inside of the oven door (top or side) or on the back panel. This makes finding the manual much easier.
  • If your stove has a “Settings� menu, use it—it’s more forgiving than the old button sequences.
  • Some models require you to set the clock after a power outage. If the clock is blinking “0:00� or “12:00,� that’s normal—just follow the steps above.
  • For models with a knob, the knob often clicks when you turn it; that’s fine. You don’t need to press it to select—just turn and then press Clock to move to the next field.
  • If you have a smart stove with a companion app, you may be able to set the clock from the app, but the on-panel method is faster.

Troubleshooting

The clock won’t stop blinking after I set it.
You probably didn’t press the final “Clock� or “OK� to confirm. Try again, and make sure you press the button after setting minutes. If it still blinks, unplug the stove for 2 minutes (or flip the circuit breaker) to reset the control board, then try again.

The time changes by itself or resets to 12:00.
This usually means a power interruption. If it happens frequently, check that the stove is plugged into a properly grounded outlet and not on a shared circuit with heavy appliances. If the issue persists, the control board may need service—contact Samsung support.

The Clock button does nothing.
Make sure the oven is not in a cooking mode (bake, broil, self-clean, etc.). Also check if the child lock is on—look for a padlock icon on the display. To unlock, press and hold the “Lock� or “Settings� button for 3 seconds (refer to your manual).

My model has no “Clock� button.
Newer models may hide it under “Settings.� Press the gear icon and look for “Clock� or “Time.� If you have a knob, sometimes the knob itself is the “Clock� button—press it in like a button.

The display shows “12:00� and won’t accept input.
This is the standard “power loss� state. Follow the steps for your panel type. If the buttons are unresponsive, unplug the stove for 5 minutes to reset the electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my Samsung stove clock keep resetting to 12:00?
A: This is almost always due to a power interruption—even a brief one. If it happens often, check the outlet and circuit breaker. Some models also reset if the oven is unplugged during a firmware update.

Q: Can I set the clock without the manual?
A: Yes, the methods above cover all common panel types. If you’re stuck, look up your model number on Samsung’s website to download the manual—it’s free.

Q: How do I switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time on my Samsung stove?
A: On most models, press and hold the “Clock� button for 3–5 seconds to toggle between 12h and 24h. If that doesn’t work, go to Settings → Clock and look for a “Time Format� option.

Q: Does the clock adjust for daylight saving time automatically?
A: No, Samsung stoves do not have automatic DST adjustment. You’ll need to set the clock manually twice a year.

Q: My stove is a Samsung Smart range—can I set the clock from the SmartThings app?
A: Yes, if your model supports SmartThings, open the app, select your range, go to Settings, and find Clock. The change syncs to the stove within a few seconds.

Q: The clock is set, but the oven display shows the wrong time during a power outage.
A: The clock uses battery backup on some models, but many do not. After any power loss, you’ll need to reset the clock. If the clock doesn’t hold after a short outage, the battery may be dead—check your manual for battery location (often behind the control panel).
