ApplianceMicrowave
E-13 on a Samsung microwave stands for a T1 max time gas sensor error, according to the company’s own list. Samsung lists it for current-generation models.
Unplug the microwave or turn off its circuit breaker. If it is wet inside, give it time to dry; if not, wait 60 seconds. Reconnect the power and run the microwave again.
If the display shows E13 again, put in a service request.
