Quick answer
E-01 on a Samsung microwave is a open error. Try the manual's power reset and request service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E-01 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Open error.
Your Samsung microwave has put E-01 on the screen. In Samsung’s error list that means open error, sometimes shown as E01.
This is a current-series entry for Samsung microwaves.
Before you call
The manual’s reset is short. Disconnect the microwave from power, either at the outlet or the breaker. When moisture is the issue, allow drying time. Otherwise wait a full 60 seconds, then switch it back on. A repeat of E-01 means it is time to request service.
Also in the list
E-02, listed as cooking time setting over error (microwave)
