Samsung Microwave E-12 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code E-12 / E12
Appliance Microwave

A Samsung microwave that flashes E-12 (or E12) is reporting a short gas sensor error. This is a current-series entry rather than a legacy one.

If E-12 stays on the display

  1. Remove power first, using the outlet or the circuit breaker.
  2. Moisture from a spill or cooktop steam calls for patience; leave the unit until it is dry.
  3. Without any moisture, wait out 60 seconds, then reconnect the supply.
  4. Seeing E12 a second time means the next move is a service request.

Codes close to E-12

  • E-11 reads as an open gas sensor error too.
  • E-13 stands for a t1 max time gas sensor error.
