My microwave says S or 5E on the display and will not let you push an buttons or anything. The light works and the turntable goes by itself when the door is not properly closed. I have tried leaving it unplugged (for days) and it does the same thing s soon as it I plugged back in. 8888 followed by a couple of beeps then the SE comes on.
This a problem a dust in the control board keypads, You must open the keypad, and clean any connector with contact cleaner specially the ribbon cable or plastic and use pencil eraser for to fix the corrosion, dust, and try again.
God bless you

have a shorted membrane keypad.
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.

I have the same problem. Did you get an answer? Thanks. l issa
Thank you for your post, friend!
I understand that your Frigidaire microwave is displaying the error code "SE" or "5E". I have researched and the error code seems to be "SE" which means keypad is stuck. In order to remove the error code the keypad would need to be replaced.
Regrettably, this is not a simple DIY job. I would highly recommend reaching out to an expert technician to ensure the appropriate replacement part is ordered and is installed correctly to prevent future issues. I hope this helps to some degree. -Matt
Then move your circuit board into the new frame. Be careful, the display is
made of glass.
