Error codeE-32
ApplianceMicrowave
On the display of this Samsung microwave you see E-32, or E32, which Samsung defines as a short gas sensor error. The listing applies to the present series of Samsung microwaves.
Other microwave codes to compare
C-A1 marks a functional error; E-12 marks a short gas sensor error; C-d2 points to a door or key error.
Try this before anything else
Disconnect the microwave from the outlet, or trip the breaker feeding it. Let any moisture dry off first. No moisture? Wait one minute. Reconnect the power and run the microwave again.
Same message again? That calls for a service request.

We take Samsung microwave repair requests from San Francisco and neighbouring Bay Area cities. Call (415) 969-6153. Keep the model number nearby, along with E-32 and a note of the steps already done.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E-32 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
