Samsung E-11 Error Code — Oven / Range Fault Fix

Error Code Explained

What Does the Samsung E-11 Error Code Mean?

The E-11 error code on a Samsung range indicates a humidity or steam sensor fault. Samsung ovens with sensor cooking functions (steam cook, auto-roast) use a humidity sensor to detect moisture levels inside the cavity and adjust cooking time and temperature automatically. When this sensor fails or returns an out-of-range reading, E-11 is displayed.

E-11 disables sensor-based cooking modes but typically does not prevent manual baking or broiling.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Samsung E-11 Error Code

Step-by-Step Guide

How to Troubleshoot the E-11 Error Code

⚠️

Safety First: Always disconnect the Oven / Range from power before inspecting any internal components. Do not attempt electrical repairs. If in doubt, call a certified technician.

1

Power reset

Turn off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes. A one-time sensor read error may clear.
2

Clean the oven cavity

Run the self-clean cycle or thoroughly clean the oven interior. Grease buildup near the sensor can cause E-11.
