How to fix Samsung freestanding electric range error code E-OE (safe owner checks)

Safety first: disconnect power before you remove any panel or reach into the sump or drum. Do not touch wiring, the control board or the motor. If you see water near electrical parts, stop and call a technician. These steps are based on the Samsung freestanding electric range error-code chart (via Sears PartsDirect) [1], rewritten for clarity.

Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (E-OE) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your freestanding electric range and order the right parts.
Do a power reset. Unplug the range.
Close the door or lid fully. Check the oven door lock assembly for damage.
Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If E-OE comes back after these checks, stop using the range for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.

The first and last steps (and the power reset) are general owner checks added by ErrorCodePro; the rest follow the Samsung freestanding electric range error-code chart published by Sears PartsDirect, rewritten for safe owner use.
