Fix for the dredded 'SE' error: This is a failure of the membrane keypad connected to the circuit control board. Had a Samsung technician replace it years ago (it was a known issue, and under warranty), but now these parts run $110+!!! Instead of replacing, you can attempt to fix it FOR FREE: remove the control panel (for mine, this involved 2 tiny screws on top to remove the top front vent frame, then 1 screw to remove the panel, then disconnect the flex-ribbon to the keypad, then 4 screws to remove the circuit board). Once you have the touch pad, you need to dehumidify it -- no joke, put it in your refrigerator for a few hours. Or put it in a big container filled with rice. Whatever method you have. If you refrigerate, ensure no condensation develops as it warms up (I put mine in my oven preheated to 100F). Or you could seal it in a plastic bag for a couple hours with all the air out until it's warm again. Now reassemble, and see if it works again. Just did it myself and it worked!
Good
Thanks
