Samsung Microwave Error

kah22

Not the usual question you get here, it's more hope than expectation.

I've a Samsung microwave, out of guarantee. Yesterday I turned it on and it went for about 2 minutes then stopped working and presented me with an error message on the digital display unit ' -S E- ' Tried several times: turned off at switch, changed plugs etc but still same error message.

Can anyone tell me what this message means. Appreciate microwaves are not really fixable but hoping I can do something to bring it back to life. It should have lasted longer as it's not used that often but unfortunately the box and guarantee are gone

Many thanks for any advice

The error code "-S E-" means the keypad has thrown a wobble, power cycle (disconnect from mains for 1 minute) it and it should reset.

Thanks for the reply KillerWatt but it is still throwing a wobbler. Removed plug from socket, for two three minutes or so, when I plugged it back in the clock re-set to 12.00 when it went to change to 12.01 the error message popped up again.

The membrane in the keypad has developed an internal short circuit, the only fix is replacement although I suspect you'd be better off buying a new microwave given how cheap they are.
