Samsung Oven Error Codes
Samsung ovens and ranges show SE, tE, and C codes for touch panel, temperature, and communication faults on NX58 and NE63 models.
General troubleshooting
Try these checks before opening a specific error code page—they resolve many Samsung oven faults without parts.
- 1Dry the control panel if steam from cooktop reached the touch surface
- 2Allow the oven to cool before restarting self-clean on NX60A6511SS
- 3Verify the anti-tip bracket is engaged so the range doesn't tilt
- 4Test bake at 350°F with an oven thermometer to confirm sensor accuracy
- 5Power cycle at the breaker for 60 seconds after SE errors
Common symptoms
Owners often search for a code after noticing one of these issues on their Samsung oven:
- SE or 5E touch panel short or stuck key
- tE temperature sensor errors during bake or broil
- Self-clean interrupted with door lock faults
- Convection fan not running during convection bake
- Wi-Fi or SmartThings disconnect after board errors
All Samsung oven error codes
| Code | What it means | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| E-08 | Oven failed to reach 100 °F in ten minutesE-08 sets when the cavity temperature cannot exceed 100 °F (38 °C) within ten minutes after heat starts with the door closed. Samsung shuts down to avoid endless heat attempts—gas models often need igniter service, electric models the bake element or sensor. | View fix → |
| E-0A | Cavity temperature exceeded 650 °F outside clean modeE-0A is an Overheating Error—the probe reported above 650 °F (343 °C) while the oven was on and not in self-clean. Samsung disables heat immediately. A shorted sensor telling the board the oven is cold while heat runs wild is a frequent cause. | View fix → |
| E-0C | Flex Duo partition plate not detectedE-0C (also dC on some displays) is a Partition Switch Error for Flex Duo ovens—the divider plate is missing, crooked, or the switch reads open when the board expects closed. Twin-mode cooking is blocked until the partition state is valid. | View fix → |
| E-0E | Self-clean door lock failed to engageE-0E is a Door Locking Error during self-clean—the control commanded lock but the latch never reached the locked position within 60 seconds. Samsung aborts clean heat to prevent opening a hot cavity. Not an overheating code despite similar lettering on other brands. | View fix → |
| E-0F | Door unlock failed after clean or bakeE-0F is the unlock counterpart to E-0E—the lock motor or switch did not report unlocked after the cycle finished or was cancelled. The door may remain latched while the display shows E-0F even though heat has stopped. | View fix → |
| E-11 | Humidity or steam sensor faultE-11 flags an open humidity or steam sensor circuit—common on Samsung ranges with steam bake or steam clean assist. The board cannot regulate moisture injection and locks out steam modes until the sensor reads valid resistance. | View fix → |
| E-12 | Humidity sensor shorted or secondary sensor faultE-12 is the short-circuit counterpart to E-11—the humidity or secondary cavity sensor reads abnormally low resistance. Steam assist and some convection humidity modes disable until the circuit is repaired. | View fix → |
| E-13 | Electronic door lock circuit faultE-13 reports a Door Lock fault—the lock switch and motor feedback disagree with the command during bake or clean, not only the one-minute self-clean timeout of E-0E. Oven may refuse to start or remain locked after cancel. | View fix → |
| E-14 | Secondary oven temperature sensor faultE-14 indicates a fault with the secondary oven temperature sensor—used on dual-cavity or multi-probe Samsung ranges to monitor upper cavity or broil zone separately from the main RTD. Heat distribution or broil may disable. | View fix → |
| E-15 | Thermal limit or high-limit sensor trippedE-15 is a Thermal Limit or temperature limit sensor fault—the high-limit device opened or the board detected unsafe thermal rise through the limit circuit. Related to E-0A overheating but specifically the limit sensor channel. | View fix → |
| E-16 | Cavity or PCB cooling fan not runningE-16 (C-A2 family) logs when the air intake or cavity cooling fan fails to spin when commanded—often after self-clean high ambient heat behind the console. Samsung may lock out bake until the fan circuit restores. | View fix → |
| E-17 | Main temperature sensor open circuitE-17 (E-21/E-27 family) is an open Oven Temperature Sensor error—the main RTD or its wiring reads over 2950 Ω, so the board cannot detect cavity temperature and disables heat. | View fix → |
| E-18 | Main temperature sensor shortedE-18 (E-22/E-28 family) is a shorted Oven Temperature Sensor error—resistance below 930 Ω. The board sees invalid low readings and shuts heat to prevent uncontrolled temperature rise. | View fix → |
| E-19 | Communication error between oven PCBsE-19 (E-83/C-F0 family) is a Communication Error between the main oven PCB and a sub-board—relay board, touch UI, or cooktop interface. Display may freeze or cancel cycles mid-preheat. | View fix → |
| E-1A | Meat probe circuit open or shortedE-1A is a Meat Probe Error—the jack reads open or shorted when probe mode is active, or debris in the socket mimics a fault with no probe inserted. Convection probe roast modes disable until the input clears. | View fix → |
