ApplianceMicrowave
What the microwave means by E-41: an open easy/PH sensor error. It may spell it E41 instead. This entry is for the current series of Samsung microwaves.
Also worth a look
E-11 reports an open gas sensor error; C-d2 describes a door or key error; E-14 stands for a dry up / no load gas sensor error.
Resetting the microwave
Pull the plug, or switch the breaker off. Let any moisture dry off first. No moisture? Wait one minute. Power it up once more and watch for E-41.
If the display shows E41 again, put in a service request.
