SE error means you
have a shorted membrane keypad.
The full model number would be MMV1153AAB or MMV1153AAW and denotes color.
On this model, the membrane keypad is not available as a separate part,
so you would have to order the control panel frame assembly ("control panel/switch" as it's called) which comes
with a new keypad.
It's actually a pretty easy do it yourself job.
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.
Next, disconnect the strip as shown in the photo below, then remove the screws that hold your circuit board in the old frame.
Some connectors have a lock:
Then carefully (since the display is made of glass) move your
circuit board to the new frame, and reassembly is the reverse of
disassembly.
You can get the part from the Pros here. They're our favorite supplier.

You can get this issue repaired FOR FREE by Samsung even if the warranty on your machine has expired! I know because I just now arranged this for my own microwave. There was a manufacture defect on this part so Samsung created/extended a warranty on the control-panel itself. Just contact Samsung (I used the online chat feature on their website) and explain that you are getting the SE error code, that you know the part is warrantied, and that you would like to arrange to have that part replaced. Good luck!
