The **E-25** display on a Samsung microwave points to **microwave-cook abnormal-temperature error**. Treat it as a diagnostic direction rather than a parts order: operating conditions, wiring, sensors, actuators, and control electronics can overlap. The useful diagnostic value of the code is the subsystem it identifies. A good repair process confirms the symptom, checks the accessible external conditions, and then follows the model-specific circuit only if the display returns. The recorded display form is **E-25**. Search normalization stores it as **E25** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Quick answer
Microwave-cook abnormal-temperature error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so E25 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
The **E-25** display on a Samsung microwave points to **microwave-cook abnormal-temperature error**. Treat it as a diagnostic direction rather than a parts order: operating conditions, wiring, sensors, actuators, and control electronics can overlap. The useful diagnostic value of the code is the subsystem it identifies. A good repair process confirms the symptom, checks the accessible external conditions, and then follows the model-specific circuit only if the display returns. The recorded display form is **E-25**. Search normalization stores it as **E25** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
A symptom that fits E-25 is that the appliance can stop or limit the affected function when the code is detected.
Depending on the exact model, the same code may return at a repeatable stage of operation.
One clue that supports the E-25 diagnosis is that other symptoms depend on the model and the subsystem named by Samsung.
On affected Samsung microwave models, e-25 appears and the microwave may stop or limit the function associated with microwave-cook abnormal-temperature error.

Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Before requesting service for E-25, record the exact code, model number, and operating stage before resetting power.
Before opening any service area, complete only the owner-accessible checks described in the model manual.
To rule out an accessible cause, do not replace parts solely from a display code when wiring, conditions, or control feedback can create the same result.
With E-25 recorded, record the exact code and model number.
Before requesting service for E-25, power the microwave off for 60 seconds only if Samsung's model guidance allows a reset.
Before requesting service for E-25, do not remove the outer cabinet or access internal high-voltage components.
Important safety warning. Safety takes priority over clearing E-25. Do not remove the microwave outer cabinet. High-voltage components can retain dangerous energy even after the appliance is unplugged.

When to request repair service
Once E-25 has returned after the safe checks, If the code returns after the documented basic checks, request model-specific diagnosis of the affected subsystem. Preserve any accompanying noise, water level, temperature, or operating-stage details for the technician.

Resetting can clear a temporary state, not a persistent issue. If **E-25** comes back, preserve the code and move to the safe checks or model-specific service path.
That depends on the accompanying symptom. A code with no safety hazard may allow a short diagnostic check, but **E-25** should not be ignored if performance is deteriorating or the display keeps returning.
Treat **E-25** as a starting point, not a replacement instruction. Wiring, feedback signals, operating conditions, and electronic controls can mimic a failed component.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Microwave E-25** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
