What -dE-
actually means.
Samsung ovens that can be split into two compartments use a partition and a switch at the back of the oven. -dE- or -dC- means the control does not see the partition where the chosen mode expects it, or you started cooking before putting it in.

What to do when -dE- shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Slide the divider out and push it back in all the way on the correct rack position.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for -dE- on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Slide the divider out and push it back in all the way on the correct rack position.
Use the third position from the top on electric and dual fuel models, or the fourth on gas models.
If the divider is not in the oven, check that nothing is pressing on the switch at the back wall.
Book a visit if the code stays with the divider seated correctly.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
-dE- says nothing about the elements, burner or sensor. The stove is only checking where its divider sits.
