Quick answer
E-13 on a Samsung microwave is a T1 max time gas sensor 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-13 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
T1 max time gas sensor error.
The display of your Samsung microwave reads E-13 or E13, which Samsung’s list gives as T1 max time gas sensor error.
The code covers Samsung microwaves of the current series.
Before you call
Step one is no power at all, via the plug or the breaker. Step two depends on moisture: drying time if wet, 60 seconds if not. Step three is turning the microwave on again. A returning E-13 calls for a service request.
