What does the error code on my Samsung microwave mean?

If you get an error code service is pretty much needed. First though, it's possible that if you power cycle the microwave, you may clear the error. And if you think moisture may have gotten in the microwave, that could be causing errors too, so let it dry.

What to do if you receive an error code

Unplug the microwave or turn it off at the circuit breaker.
If the microwave's electronics recently came in contact with moisture, like from a spill or steam from a cooktop, give it time to dry. Otherwise, wait 60 seconds and then turn the microwave back on.
If the error code returns, visit the Support Center to request service.
