The light comes on, the turntable turns, the food stays cold. On a Samsung microwave that sign almost always sits in the high-voltage circuit, and that circuit is the one part of any kitchen appliance an owner should never open.

Samsung defines -SE- as a key short error. On a microwave mounted over a cooktop the usual cause is moisture behind the keypad, and Samsung’s remedy is to cut the power and let it dry before deciding anything has failed.

Samsung’s page for the ME21DG6700SR reads Bespoke Over-the-Range Microwave Auto Connectivity  Wi-Fi | 2.1 cu.ft.: a 2.1 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave.

The ME90H1780R is a over-the-range convection microwave, listed by Samsung as Bespoke Over the Range Microwave Air Fry Max Convection | Auto Connectivity. The -SE- keypad problem is the classic complaint on an over-the-range Samsung like the ME90H1780R: steam and grease from the cooktop below reach the membrane behind the keypad, and the control reads […]

The MC12DB8700CK is a 1.2 cu. ft. countertop convection microwave, listed by Samsung as Countertop Microwave Air Fry Wi-Fi | 1.2 cu.ft..

Samsung named this over-the-range microwave the ME11F7510MT. An earlier model, no longer in Samsung’s current lineup. A frequent reason the ME11F7510MT comes in for service is the interior light not working. Unplug the microwave before opening the cabinet, since it can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged. We match the part to the model […]
