# Samsung range error code -dE-

### What -dE- means on this make

The Flex Duo partition splits the cavity into two ovens, and the range will not cook until it knows exactly where the partition is. Samsung is precise about the position: the third rack position from the top on electric and dual fuel models, the fourth on gas, pushed fully home on both sides. It is one of the most satisfying calls we take because it so often costs nothing. Samsung also notes that starting to cook before the partition goes in will bring the code up on its own.

### The other ways Samsung prints this one

-dE- · -dC- · dE · dC

Samsung publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with. They mean the same thing and they are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Take the partition out and put it back, making sure both sides sit in the right position and it is pushed all the way in.
- Count the rack positions from the top: third on electric and dual fuel, fourth on gas.
- If the partition is not in the oven at all, look behind the racks for anything resting against the partition switch at the back.
- If it is seated correctly and the code stays, the switch is the repair.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [flex duo partition repair](/services/flex-duo-partition-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
