Error Code Explained
What Does the Samsung E-11 Error Code Mean?
The E-11 error code on a Samsung wall oven indicates a humidity sensor fault. Samsung wall ovens with sensor-assisted cooking modes (steam cook, auto-roast, sensor bake) use a humidity sensor inside the cavity to detect moisture levels and automatically adjust cooking time and temperature. When this sensor fails or returns an out-of-range value, E-11 is displayed.
E-11 disables sensor-based cooking modes but typically does not prevent manual baking or broiling.
