"SE" means you have a shorting membrane keypad.
If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.
So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and please do not leave it running unattended.
On most Samsung models, your best bet is to buy a whole new control box and replace it.
This is a simple do-it-yourself job.
You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number from the tag on the oven here.
At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
If you do not find information about your model or you need more help, note that FixYa is not currently notifying us Experts when Clarification Requests are answered.
So please post a NEW question, and please include your brand name and the full model number from the tag in or on the unit
