All i kind find is it's a sensor error. turn it off or unplug for a few seconds then switch on again. if the fault is persistent it will need an engineer to look at it. is it under it's 12 month guarantee still?

Nov. 20, 2020 - Yes, this is a system protection fault. The components attached to the main board are checked by the main board when a microwave is in use.

Kenmore microwaves are made by several manufacturers. The E-13 error may indicate a humidity sensor issue or a problem with the control board. It could also be an issue with the wiring between the sensor and the control board. Try unplugging (or turning off the circuit breaker to) the microwave for at least 30 seconds. This may reset the error. If the problem recurs, the sensor or the control board may need to be replaced. Microwaves can store an enormous amount of power in the capacitor and may be dangerous. Repairs are best done by a professional.
I hope this helps.

(The E-13 code diagnostics above apply to Samsung-made microwaves.)
It is a T1 maximum time error (oven did not preheat properly). usually caused by a failing thermistor/sensor, a bad seal, bad control circuit board or connector. Unless you are a really good electronics expert and have the test equipment for after-repairs microwave emission measurement, it has to be dealt by the service people.
If your microwave oven won't come on, ensure that the power
cord is plugged into an outlet and that the power is on. Replace any
blown fuses, and reset a tripped circuit breaker. If the microwave won't
run, see that the door is completely closed and that nothing is stuck
in it. Ensure that your door is not broken. Replace if necessary. See
that you have not started the timer as opposed to the cooking function.
Press "Start/Enter" to start your microwave.
Clock
Your display will flash if your power goes out. You must
reset the clock. If you do not hear a tone at the end of cooking, ensure
that you have enabled the audible tone. Also check that you are using
the right command. If your power goes out while your food is cooking,
you must reset both the cooking time and clock.
If you see sparks while you are cooking, remove any metal
objects or plates with silver or gold trim. If your food is taking too
long to cook, ensure that you have selected the correct power level for
the food item. Remove any other appliance from the 20-amp circuit line.
Additional appliances on the same amp will draw too much power away from
the microwave. Also ensure that you have selected the correct food item
in the preprogrammed menu. Each microwave has its own error codes.
Always read your manual to determine what the error code means. Examples
of error codes include "E-11", "E-12" and "E-13." This means that you
have a defective sensor, and you must get your microwave serviced. The
"SE" error code indicates an issue with your control panel.
Additional Problems
You may hear gear noises, especially a humming noise; the
fan will automatically come on while your food is cooking. If your
turntable plate makes noise, first clean it, and then see that it is
positioned correctly over the roller ring. If your nearby appliances are
experiencing electrical interference, move your microwave farther away
to correct this problem.
Hi, please click on this LINK then select 'Display Panel', then 'Microwave Is Displaying An Error Code' for instructions on what to do in the event of an error code, such as 'E-13'
I own the same Microwave and it just gave me the same error code E-13. I was heating a large plastic coffee mug of cold water using the "beverage" control. The only thing out of the ordinary was I used very cold water from the Fridge. Maybe this had something to do with the Max time error. Hopefully this was a one off error.
