Error Code Explained
What Does the Samsung E-08 Error Code Mean?
The E-08 error code on a Samsung range indicates a key input circuit fault — the control board has detected an error in the touchpad key detection circuit. E-08 differs from SE (which indicates a specific shorted key) in that it reflects a communication or scan fault in the input circuit rather than a single stuck button.

They are related but distinct — SE indicates a specific key is stuck or shorted, while E-08 indicates a fault in the key input scan circuit. Both can result from the same touchpad membrane failure, but E-08 can also indicate a board-level circuit fault.
