Error Code is SE. Maytag Microwave manufactured 2010 but not installed and used until July 2013. Used only one year before failure. Got it going again by banging on control panel and resetting clock. Worked for a month before stopping again. Seems to be a short circuit in control panel? Any suggestions for an inexpensive fix? Seems that this a big problem for Maytag microwaves.
Banging on the control panel got it working would indicate a bad connection inside, not a short. Could be anything from a bad wire connection to a cracked solder joint on the main board.

The error code SE stands for " Systems Error " which indicates there is a short in the keypad membrane causing the system to lock up. The only option is to have the keypad replaced for normal operation.

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.

SE means system error, the keypad has a short in the membrane, or the control board has issues.
