ApplianceMicrowave
Quick answer
E-82 is Samsung's microwave code for communication short error. Reset the power; request service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E-82 / E82 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-82 means communication short error.
The code E-82 on a Samsung microwave stands for a communication short error. The entry belongs to the current Samsung microwave line.
What to do first
Samsung’s first step is a power reset: pull the plug or turn off the breaker. Give a damp unit time to dry, and otherwise count out 60 seconds. Switch power back on afterwards and see if the display clears. If the same code is back once power is restored, Samsung says to request service. Opening the cabinet is not an owner task, so leave anything inside to a technician.
Nearby codes
Nearby entries in the same list include E-X2 (additional short error), E-72 (steam sensor short error), E-83 (communication error) and E-71 (steam sensor open error).
