Error codeE-52 / E52
ApplianceMicrowave
Quick answer
E-52 is Samsung's microwave code for EEPROM short error. Reset the power; request service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E-52 / E52 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
E-52 means EEPROM short error.
Samsung lists E-52 as an EEPROM short error in its microwave error code table. Samsung files it with the codes for current microwave models.
What to do first
Begin at the plug or the breaker and turn the microwave off at one of them. Allow drying time when it got wet, or wait a full 60 seconds when it did not. After that, reconnect power and run the microwave once more. When the display shows E-52 a second time, request service rather than repeating the reset over and over. Work inside the microwave is for a technician; do not take the cover off yourself.
Nearby codes
Other microwave codes worth a look: E-46 (primary open error), E-54 (zero error) and E-53 (read/write error).
