Error codeE-26
ApplianceMicrowave
E-26 is Samsung’s way of announcing a temperature not over AD error on one of its microwaves. Samsung lists it for current-generation models.
Compare with these codes
C-10 is listed as a gas/easy/PH sensor error, C-70 is the entry for a steam sensor error and C-F1 points to a communication error.
First move: cut the power
Cut power at the wall socket or the circuit breaker. When the cavity is wet, dry it out; when it is dry, 60 seconds will do. Power it up once more and watch for E-26.
When E-26 persists, request service instead of repeating the reset.
