Thanks ... after the first cleaning the se came back after a few seconds ... the second time I recleaned the ribbon cable with the eraser and followed with some ipa. Working great now.
Make sure you discharge the capacitor on the main board. Take an insulated screwdriver and touch both wires coming out of the capacitor with the insulated screwdriver. This will discharge any residual voltage/electricity in the capacitor. To be safe I always use my multimeter set to the highest setting for AC or DC voltage. Depending on whether the capacitor is a AC or DC voltage. This is to make sure that the capacitor is fully discharged of any residual voltage/electricity. I’ve been shocked by an old vehicle points capacitor that wasn’t discharged. Luckily the capacitor had low current. It shocked and startled me. When I discovered this. With my lawnmower running. I would hold a capacitor’s wire coming out of it. To the tip of the spark plug. Then ground the body of the capacitor to the head of a running lawnmower engine for 10 seconds or so.,Using a pair of insulated needle nose pliers and a insulated screwdriver. Then throw it to one of my friends. My friends got me many times with a charged points capacitor.
cant believe this video is 11 years old. I have a got newer version of Samsung microwave. The same issue, resolved it with the same way as yours. A big thanks to you!. Disappointing that Samsung hasn't addressed this issue....
As a person who's been shooting and editing video for 40 plus years, my compliments for an incredibly clear, lucid and well made video about a problem that I have to fix for my niece. Thanks again for making this available, and doing such a good job
I tried what your video states and it worked! After about 10 minutes it went back to the SE on the screen. I thoroughly did exactly as the video explained again and this time it came on with the SE on the screen. I'm assuming that I need a new keypad. However, it looks like it worked for a lot of others. Thanks
Hi Joe - Thank so much this instructive video. I followed your directions and viola my microwave is working again. I did have to repeat the cleaning steps a couple of time but so glad I perservered. Hopefully the fix keeps working. Keep on making these! You have a strong aptitude for fixin' and teachin'.😊
This worked perfectly for me. I used isopropyl alcohol swabs to clean all the contacts on the ribbon cable and used a toothpick to get in and around the pins of the other connectors. 15 minutes of guided work saved me from buying a replacement microwave. Best how-to video I ever watched. Didn't leave out a step.
Not only is this video instructional and well presented, but you also have a natural narrator tone, very pleasant to the ear. Maybe you should make this your day job? Thank you for helping me. EDIT: I did it! Thanks to you, I fixed the SE error code, my microwave is working again. Let's hope it stays fixed. 😅
Thank you so much for the detailed video to repair the"SE" code on my Samsung attached microwave. Your video is easy to understand and by following the instructions given my microwave is working properly again. Awesome!
Thank you! Works for me with more modern model SamsungMC28H5013AS/EU. Only the start button was not operating so I just clean it with a bit of alcohol.
Thank you so much. I bought a new microwave and was getting ready to install it when I found your RU-vid. Fixed it in 15 minutes. Saved hundreds of $$.
Well done and very clear. I like to make a suggestion too. Take a few photos of the circuit board before removing connections for location and position instead of marking each connector. I do this religiously when working on any type of electronic device or wiring. Always save the photos for future use or reference.
Staged"?? I drove past this guy several times as he spun. Finally I brought my camera with me and filmed the video exactly as you see it here. I had not talked to him till the moment just before you see me ask my first question on the video. Long time ago, and I probably asked him if I could film just before I turned on the camera and started asking questions.
Very detailed video though our top microwave vent had a center screw too. Also, it was just the ribbon cable that needed pencil eraser cleaning. Everything else was good maintenance but that's all that code required to clear.
