Samsung’s page for the ME17R7021 reads Over-the-Range Microwave Fingerprint Resistant 1000W Power | 1.7 cu.ft.: a 1.7 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave. On the ME17R7021 the fan starting by itself over a hot pan is the heat sensor doing its job, not a problem; a fan that will not start at all, or a cooktop light that has gone out, is a switch, a motor or an LED module.
Samsung’s microwave codes on the ME17R7021 share their C- numbering with its ranges but not their meanings – C-10 to C-12 here are the gas sensor, C-20 to C-22 the temperature sensor, C-d0 to C-d2 the door or a key, C-F0 to C-F2 communication – and Samsung’s first instruction for all of them is the same: power off for a minute, let a wet panel dry, then call if the code returns.
