SE stands for System Error, this means that the keypad has a short in the membrane and must be replaced to correct the problem.

The most likely cause is a bad magnetron, "heats food" the other two possibilities are the high voltage capacitor and diode. The cost to repair will a approach a new microwave oven.

i went to replace lite bulbs but didnt unplug it..removed cover and shorted out...now no lite and no turntable but does come on & heats food is it fixable.......ewave microwave kot-131uw....

The microwave oven has a main ceramic fuse located inside the unit under the keypad in towards the high voltage capacitor "silver and rectangular in shape" unplug microwave, remove top and allow 30 seconds for the capacitor to drain, use screwdriver and short across to make sure no charge is present, keep in mind the microwave carries dangerous high voltages.

THE BUTTONS ON MICOWAVE IS STICKING TRY PUTING A MILD SALUTION ON BUTTONS.

We see (and repair) this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week or so.

At our Web site, you can get details of our service, plus we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

The lights can can be inoperable or stuck on or stuck in "night light" mode. Sometimes this will similarly affect the fan operation or inside light, too.

Or you can order a new control circuit board from the Sears Parts Direct Web site.

Just enter your model number there.

A full Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as ###.########.

What you are describing is a problem with the magnetron and it has become faulty, that is the main part that heats the food, the growling sound indicates it is loading down the power transformer that energizes the magnetron. The repair cost will not justify the expense "costly" replacement of the microwave oven "cheaper" in the long run.
