- Main control boardIf
your microwave runs for a few seconds and stops, the first thing to
check is the main control board to ensure that a shortage has not
occurred. If the part is defective then it will need to be replaced to
prevent continual shut offs. If this is not the issue, the next step
would be to check for a faulty touchpad.
- Touchpad/Control panelIf
the control board is not the issue and your microwave continues to shut
off after running for only a few seconds, the next thing to check is
your touchpad, which is also known as a control panel. Although uncommon
for this issue, symptoms are usually that the display and some buttons
are working properly; however, when selected some buttons are not
functioning. If this is the case the touchpad will need to be replaced.
Why samsung smh9187w door will not latch
Had the same problem on my Samsung SMH9187. The two latches are cheap plastic. After watching a video on U tube on how to get the door apart, I fixed it with a paper clip and ordered the parts online (two years later I still have the paper clip holding the plastic latch in place). Look for the SE error to happen next, its not made very good.
How do i remove the top screw that holds the control panel
First you have to remove the trim from the top, there are two screws holding that and then a bit of gentle prying/wiggling. If you're having trouble with the unit randomly resetting, try torquing the exposed screws behind the control panel. The important one is probably the grounding point. It seems to have done the trick for me, three weeks and no SE- codes.
