Samsung Microwave - SE (5E) error fixed

[@lonesquid]

Thank you, sir! I fixed an SE error by following your tip about cleaning the contacts on that ribbon cable, even though my microwave is a Maytag! And we were ready to spend $300 on a new unit. Now I can invoice Household for my services and go buy a toy! :) Thanks again!

Thank you! You saved me lots of $$$... worked fine for my Samsung GE83M (April 2015 manufacture date).. except no need to remove the screws on the display.. the ribbon cable is easy to remove and put back.. (BOW)

[@jakeliftsnshreds6670]

Thank you, this worked for my Kenmore showing -SE-, I removed ribbon connections and wire clips and sprayed contact cleaner inside and on ribbons, works perfectly now!

[@zeeshankareem7651]

Thank You so much sir! It was so easy and I was thinking so much of calling customer care and getting it repaired

[@deepakmumbai443]

I wasnt so lucky, saw this video after the service center guy has already came and changed the 'faulty' membrane keypad for Rs 2100. I guess all what he did was to plug out and plug in the connector as shown.

[@ranapratap_t]

I have fixed 5e error. Thank you so much for detailed explanation....saved service charge and follow ups to service engineer....👍

Thanks, before watching theses I was thinking about the tape and your video reassured me of the rightness of this operation

[@bill40nj]

Thank you Sir for taking the time to share how to solve this 5E error code. I just had the same problem and followed your advice and fixed the problem. I had to do it twice because the first time I inserted the ribbon cable into the female connector it was crooked and the oven did crazy things. Greetings from Perú - South America

[@jagadeswarl7804]

Thanks. I appreciate your comments.

[@rebekahnevin501]

Thank you very much.. this was so easy to follow for hubby and myself that are not at all technical. Worked perfectly.. your tutorial was on point and so easy to follow. Thank you

[@donmunro2054]

Indeed Sir this is a common problem, nice video... a microwave oven's principal of operation is to transform(with a high voltage transformer, the square heavy object) common household AC voltage into a high tension direct current voltage using a rectification diode(little black doo da) and capacitor(silver spherical can shaped doo da), the voltage is then forwarded to the Magnetron( the goodie with the metal cooling fins) which generates microwaves this in turn feeds (via a waveguide) into the oven cavity, the microwaves collide (through the food) in the middle of the cavity thus creating heat which cooks the food from the inside out, those who delve inside always make sure that in addition to unplugging the unit from the wall socket and removing the lid to DISCHARGE the high voltage capacitor(the spherical silver can like goodie )near the back cover, by shorting out the contacts with an INSULATED screwdriver or piece of wire to render the unit harmless .

[@M_a_K_a_J]

Thank you so much! It takes me 10 minutes and microwave has worked!

[@SB-nc9io]

I followed the instructions from your video. Cleaned the ribbon cable and re-inserted properly. Now it works well. This video helped me to solve the problem. Thank you.

Hello Sir i'm from (INDIA )I have been facing this exact problem with my microwave. The company guy came & had a good look at it & told us that repairing cost will be well over 100$ doller
Yesterday i watched your video & i did exactly the way you told in the video & guess what, it worked.
I want to thank you because i saved my hard earned money which could have been looted by the company in the name of repairing.
Kudos to you, you are doing a very noble work.

[@jj4913]

Chandan Sharma: Yeah right ......the guy who came to diagnose was a technician and he knows the consequences of repairing parts instead of replacing them. This is not India where no body cares if house catch fires from stupid repairs or someone gets killed for saving $$. I guess you like to be killed but just want to save money. The people who works on appliances are technician trained in field , spent time , money to learn that. They can’t go around people houses for free. They are not charity workers, they have to pay the bills and feed kids too. Keep Saving your money and gets killed one day ok. 🤪

[@hvac01453]

k j you’ve got a point, many houses have burnt to the ground for this problem. If the insurance company can find evidence you tampered with it, they might be off the hook to pay... A penny wise and a pound foolish.

Thanks for this video Mr. Jagadeswar ji. I've been having the same issue with Samsung model. I did this and it seemed to have worked for a while but the problem re-appeared. SS person visited, says the moisture over time has caused the IC to have issue leading to SE (Switching Error). 2 solns. proposed - replaced PCB (like to like, total cost ~2400) or replace IC (total cost 1100 : Part 500, labor 600). Hoping to know more about the technical aspect of the issue from you. Thanks in advance.

[@jagadeswarl7804]

Thanks for visiting this clipping. Several possiblities. 1. Probably you did not lock the cable inside the socket. after inserting the cable try to pull wth little force to ascertain it got locked. 2. Please try to close the door of the oven softly so that the cable does not pop out. Hard to believe the story of IC MOISTURE .... ETC.. But this is a remote possibility. . Good Luck. If you are happy with the solution please fowrard this clipping to your freinds and family members.
