Error codeE-X2 / EX2
ApplianceMicrowave
Quick answer
E-X2 (also shown as EX2) is the additional short error on current Samsung microwaves. A short power reset comes first; service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E-X2 / EX2 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-X2 is the additional short error on a Samsung microwave.
A Samsung microwave that shows E-X2, sometimes written EX2, is reporting an additional short error. The code belongs to the error table for current Samsung microwaves, so it is not limited to an older series.
What to try first
Begin with a power reset. Unplug the microwave, or turn off the circuit breaker that feeds it. If the unit got wet, let it dry out. If it is dry, wait 60 seconds and then restore power.
Look at the display once power is back. When E-X2 returns, request service instead of resetting over and over.
Similar codes in the same table
E-X2 is listed right beside E-X1, the additional open error. Two communication entries are worth comparing as well: E-83 is a communication error, and E-82 is a communication short error.
