Error Code Explained
What Does the Samsung E-14 Error Code Mean?
The E-14 error code on a Samsung range indicates a fault with a secondary oven temperature sensor. In addition to the primary oven temperature probe (monitored by E-11), some Samsung range models use a secondary sensor to verify oven temperature or to monitor a specific zone. E-14 is triggered when this secondary sensor reads outside the acceptable resistance range.
On dual-oven models and ranges with upper and lower heating zones, E-14 identifies the secondary cavity sensor rather than the primary probe.
Root Causes
Common Causes of the Samsung E-14 Error Code
-
1Failed Secondary Temperature SensorThe sensor probe has developed an open or short circuit.
-
2Wiring Fault to Secondary SensorThe wiring harness to the secondary sensor has a break or corroded connector.
-
3Control Board Sensor Input FaultThe secondary sensor input circuit on the control board has failed.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to Troubleshoot the E-14 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.
-
1Power resetTurn off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds. A transient sensor reading fault may clear.
-
2Test secondary sensor resistanceWith power off, locate and disconnect the secondary sensor. At room temperature, test resistance across the sensor terminals. A healthy Samsung temperature sensor reads approximately 1,080 ohms. Infinite or near-zero confirms sensor failure.

When to Call a Samsung Technician
Secondary sensor replacement requires identifying the sensor's location (varies by model) and accessing it through the oven cavity or rear panel. A technician can locate and replace the correct sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions — Samsung E-14
-
E-11 involves the primary oven temperature sensor — the main probe used for all baking and broiling temperature control. E-14 involves a secondary sensor used for verification or zone monitoring. Both require sensor testing and possible replacement.
