Error codeE-44
ApplianceMicrowave
Your readout says E-44. Samsung lists that message under the heading dry up easy/PH sensor error; E44 is the same entry. This entry is for the current series of Samsung microwaves.
Other microwave codes to compare
E-22 is the short temp sensor error. C-F2 reports a communication error. C-71 describes a steam sensor error.
Owner steps for E-44
Take away power: unplug the unit or shut off the breaker.
With moisture inside, wait until it is dry; without any, a minute is enough.
Afterwards, restore the supply and try a normal cycle.
When E-44 persists, request service instead of repeating the reset.
