Its either your primary door switch or there is a diod inside on the right rear that needs to be replaced. to check the door switch, remove the cover disconnect the wires frome the switch and place a jumper wire on them and try it . if the problem persists it the diod. be carful. make sure there is no power going to it when your hands are in the microwave. and do not let it run to long or you will damage it.

I was just popping a bag of popcorn using the "popcorn" button on my OTR Samsung microwave. It is Model #CMH7174BE. It popped all of the corn and burnt some. I have not had this problem in the past. I did get an error several months ago when steaming broccoli -- I was using the "fresh vegetable" setting and a pot steamer (from Pampered Chef - maybe you are familiar with the pot) and the microwave was on for a longer time than usual. When it finally turned off the broccoli was still cold and raw. I don't remember what my husband did to clear the error but we haven't had any problems since. What should I do to clear this error?

I own the Samsung over-oven microwave. Model#: SMH7174BC, 1.65kw unit. Date of manufacture shows Jan. 2005. It has worked perfectly for years. Recently, it will not heat, defrost or warm food in any manner. All control selections work perfectly as well as bottom lighting, fan, turntable, etc. It just will not heat. Any suggestions for me? I've been an amateur radio operator for 37 years so electronics do not scare me. Again, everything acts properly, it just won't cook.
