Error codeE-47
ApplianceMicrowave
Samsung assigns the message E-47 to a door open error, and the display may drop the dash and show E47. It is part of the list for the current microwave range.
Compare with these codes
C-72 stands for a steam sensor error; E-06 points to a swing heater error; E-11 is listed as an open gas sensor error.
How to clear E-47
Disconnect the microwave from the outlet, or trip the breaker feeding it.
Dampness means waiting for it to dry, while a dry microwave only needs 60 seconds.
Turn the power on again and confirm the message has cleared.
The fault remains if E47 reappears; request service at that point.
