Error codeE-82 (E82)
ApplianceMicrowave
On a Samsung microwave, E-82 points to a communication short error. It is among the codes Samsung lists for the current generation, and E82 is the same entry.
Walk through the reset
Unplug the unit, or switch its breaker off.
Dry it out if it is wet; if not, give it 60 seconds.
Reconnect and see whether E-82 persists.
A repeat E-82
Ask for service. Internal checks stay with a technician, so keep the cabinet shut.
San Francisco owners can reach us on (415) 969-6153 when E-82 is stubborn. Mention the code, the model number and the power reset you tried; the Samsung microwave repair page has the overview.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E-82 (E82) may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
