What the E-13 error code actually means

Your Samsung hood's built-in gas detector has been in an alert or active state for longer than it should be, and the hood's control system flagged it as an error. This could mean the gas sensor is worn out or dirty, but it could also mean there is actually an elevated level of gas or fumes in your kitchen. It is important to check for any gas odors before assuming this is simply a sensor problem.

Questions people ask about E-13

What does E-13 mean on a Samsung hood?
E-13 on a Samsung hood indicates a gas sensor T1 maximum time error. This means the hood's built-in gas sensor has remained in an active or elevated detection state for longer than the control board allows. It can be caused by a faulty or aging sensor, contamination, or an actual gas presence in the kitchen.
Will resetting the hood clear the E-13 error?
A power reset may temporarily clear the error code, but it will return if the underlying cause is not addressed. If the T1 gas sensor is degraded, contaminated, or receiving faulty signals from its wiring circuit, the error will reappear during normal operation. A reset alone is not a fix.
How much does it cost to repair the E-13 error on a Samsung hood?
Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only the gas sensor needs replacement, parts and labor typically range from around $80 to $200 depending on parts availability and local labor rates. If the control board is involved, costs can rise to the $150 to $400 range. Wiring repairs are generally on the lower end of the cost scale.
Is E-13 on a Samsung hood a safety concern?
Yes, this error should be taken seriously because it involves the gas detection system. Before diagnosing electronics, check your kitchen for any smell of gas and ventilate the area. If you detect an actual gas leak, leave the building and contact your gas utility provider immediately. Only proceed with sensor diagnostics once a gas leak has been ruled out.
How do I fix the E-13 error on my Samsung hood?
Start by ruling out an actual gas leak in the kitchen, then inspect the T1 gas sensor for visible contamination or physical damage. Check the sensor wiring and connectors for corrosion or loose connections. If the sensor is confirmed faulty or aged, it will need to be replaced. If wiring and the sensor are both in good condition, the control board may need professional evaluation.
