Unless there is grease, moisture, or some other foreign material deposits on your control circuit board, "SE" means you have a shorted membrane keypad.
For the official repair information as per the Samsung bulletin, see http://www.microwavecontrol.com/samsung_se_error.htm
There is an power interlock inside the oven that breaks the power connection to the magnetron when the door is open. Most likely, something is stopping the switch from opening.
Check for a small plastic probe on the door that may have broken off inside the oven keeping the circuit made. Otherwise, open the oven and see is some foreign object is keeping the connection made or if the interlock needs to be cleaned out so it can function.
The next thing to check is the safety fuse inside the unit.
Here is a generic video explaining how to replace a power fuse on a microwave. Note that some special tools (ohm meter), skill and safety precautions are required to attempt this repair. If you are uncomfortable working on appliances or other electrical apparatus, it's best to consult a repair company. Your microwave may not appear exactly as the unit shown in the video.
They do have a fuse. They also have thermal cutoffs and possibly a thermal flame sensor fuse. the main fuse would be near the control panel the thermal flame sensor is usually near the back of the cavity usually on the left side on the outside of the cavity.
If no power fuse behind panel but may be thermal switch behind top vent remove and you can see it 2 black wires the spade may need to be tighten.This is the fire safety thermal. Test for 110 volt across to test.
Repairman just diagnosed mine as a bad display board, it quit working while nobody was even home, and cost $269 with a $70 service fee. The microwave is less than 2 years old and only cost @$400 new. I was lied to by the salesman when I made the purchase (imagine that, a salesman lied to a customer) he told me these were very good and reliable microwaves and that I should get years of service out of it, what a crock... I will never buy another Samsung appliance again, they have many many bad reviews and are made with inferior parts. I will stick with Kenmore kitchen products from now on!!!
no problem with fuse - it is due to lose contact on the panel board - open from the front , most probably their will be lugs which may had come out /lose. .
