Samsung Oven Error Code tE — Temperature Sensor Circuit Issue
What this means
Error tE indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor circuit. The sensor responsible for monitoring internal oven temperature is either open, shorted, or its wiring has a problem. This prevents the control board from accurately reading the oven temperature.
Step-by-step fix
4 stepsPower cycle
Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes and restore power.
Test the temperature sensor
Disconnect the sensor and test resistance — should be approximately 1,080 ohms at room temperature.
Check wiring
Inspect the sensor wiring harness for damage between the sensor and control board.
Replace the sensor
If it tests out of range, replace the sensor probe.
When to call a professional
If both the sensor and wiring test normal, the control board may need diagnosis.
