Hello & Welcome to FixYa SE or 5E means shorted keypad and to solve this problem the keypad needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions. Kevin
"SE" error means you
have a shorted membrane keypad.
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 of course one should never leave a microwave unattended while cooking.
In most cases, it's economical to repair this problem, and many DIYers can do it.
But we would need your full model number form the tag in or on the unit to steer you further.
Please make a new post or contact me directly with your full model number.
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful
rating of our answer.
On some models, you can just order a new membrane keypad and replace it. It's cheap, but a lot of work.
If
you (or someone you know) might want to replace it yourself, I have
uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically
involved. It's here.
On other models, the membrane keypad is not available as a separate part,
so you would have to order the control panel frame assembly which comes
with a new keypad.
In this case, you simply move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do-it-yourself job, but it costs more.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number) for more information & help and a free estimate for us to do it for you.

An "SE" error on a Samsung microwave means you have a shorted 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.
You can check here to see if your model may have been involved in a recall to fix a defective keypad, etc.
If not, then there are possibly 3-4 options to get it fixed, some DIY, some not.
To allow us to help you effectively (at no charge), please post a NEW problem to FixYa, and please
include your brand name and the full model number from the tag in or on
the unit, your symptom, "SE error".
That's usually a sensor error, but you should be able to use it to some degree...
The first thing to try
is a "hard reset". Unplug it from the power line for a minute, plug it
back in, set the clock, then try again.
Let us know if the hard reset doesn't fix it.
