      Jill RiosSep 9, 2025
      If the fan motor of your Samsung Microwave Oven turns on as soon as it's plugged in, it's likely due to loose wiring of the door sensing switch. Check the wire of the door sensing switch.

      If your Samsung Microwave Oven isn't accepting key inputs, it could be due to the key input not being in sequence, an open or loose connection of the membrane key pad to the Ass’y PCB, a shorted or open membrane panel, or a defective Ass’y PCB. Refer to the operation procedure. Replacing the PCB main might solve the problem.

      If your Samsung Microwave Oven is completely dead with no display or operation, and the fuse is OK, the problem might be an open or loose lead wire harness, an open thermal cutout (Magnetron), an open low voltage transformer, or a defective Ass’y PCB. Check the fan motor when thermal cutout is defective. Check Ass’y PCB when LVT is defective.

If a power outage occurred, the display will show “ ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - PRESS MY CHOICE FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS”. In this case, reset the clock and any cooking instructions.

    Why is my Samsung Microwave Oven sparking?
    • J
      Joan WilsonSep 8, 2025

    What to do if my Samsung SMH7178STE Microwave Oven timer starts countdown but no microwave oscillation?
    • D
      Donna BrownSep 4, 2025
      If the timer on your Samsung Microwave Oven is running, but there's no heat, and the oven lamp and fan are on, the issue might be due to off-alignment of latch switches, a loose connection in the high voltage circuit (especially the magnetron filament circuit), defective high voltage components (H.V.Transformer, H.V. Capacitor, H.V.Diode, H.V.Fuse, Magnetron), open or loose wiring of the power relay, a defective primary latch switch, or a defective power relay or Ass’y PCB. Try adjusting the door and latch switches. Also, check the high voltage components and replace them if defective. Replacing the PCB main may also resolve the issue.
