I had the same problem, I changed the daylight savings time on mine and it worked untill summer, then it happend again. Finally mine quit working altogether. P.S. when this first happend samsung didn't even know what the error coded meant. It is an engineering code, meaning service engineer I believe. If it is beyond the year warranty your hosed, it would cost so much to try and fix your better off buying a new one.

    I am a housewife that NEVER touches this stuff...but I fixed this one myself! Take off the top front vent (two screws on top) Then there is one screw above keypad panel. Take that off and CAREFULLY pulled back key pad panel. I then carefully unplugged all connections making sure I could get them back where they belong. I noticed some moisture and used condensed air to carefully blow it all out. Then I let it sit open over night to air out. Put it back together, plugged it in...and yippee it works like a champ now....hope this helps...atleast worth a try to start with.

Why is my Samsung microwave model smh9151w showing 5e-1 and beeps

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

I HAVE A SAMSUNG MICROWAVE MODEL SMH8165ST KEEPS BEEPING SE

"SE" error on a Samsung made microwave means you have a shorting membrane keypad.

This is a pretty simple DIY repair.

You would need part number DE94-01806C which you can get for about $68 from the Pros here, our favorite supplier.

Here's a YouTube video showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Then unplug the keypad strip and move your board into the new frame. Be careful, because the display is made of glass.

Some connectors on the relays have a lock:

Samsung microwave SMH8165W displaying error code -SE- and continuously beeps.

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

My SMH9151W Samsung Microwave displays a -SE- or a -5E- and will not operate. I unplugged over night and still will not operate

I had the same issue on a 2010 smh9151w samsung microwave after installing it and using it with no problem for 5 days. The second time we unplugged the microwave and turned the circuit breaker off and on we didn't reset the clock on the microwave so the display shows :0 and it has been working for 7 days straight now. Fingers crossed that this is a long term solution. Hope this helps. Thanks!

You didn't mention your brand or model number, so I can only give you a general response.

It sounds like a shorting membrane keypad.

On Samsung's, they will show the error code "SE".

For detailed do it yourself info and/or an estimate, please post a new FixYa help request and include the model, or contact me here with that info.
