Quick answer
TE is the touch communication error on current Samsung microwaves. Reset power; request service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so TE 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
TE is the touch communication error on a Samsung microwave.
TE on a Samsung microwave display points to a touch communication error. Samsung lists it among the codes for current microwaves.
Reset first
Unplug the microwave or turn off its circuit breaker. If it is wet, allow it to dry. Otherwise count out 60 seconds, then restore power and see whether TE is gone.
A code that returns should go to service.
