Samsung microwave displays press 1-4...

Microwave just started beeping tonight and displaying the message "press 1-4 to select personal settings". when trying to press 1, 2, 3 or 4, not all numbers work (like 1), but they seem to be settings for Language, Lbs or kilos, daylight savings and auto reminder beeps when cooking is completed. i can usually get the beeping to stop by selecting 2, then choosing Lbs but after a few minutes it starts beeping and displaying the message again. i've tried going through and "selecting" and setting all settings, and i've tried powering it off. message goes away for a few minutes then comes back. also seems to come back whenever the door is opened. if it helps at all, a few months ago the microwave started displaying "SE" and we unplugged the unit and cleaned the connections on the keypad to the control board and the message went away. does anyone have any ideas?

The SE indicates a short in the keypad membrane, but to cure this! the whole keypad control board should be changed if effort to resolve is decided, I would also suggest checking the pricing.

Samsung Microwave Oven Model smh918713 beeping

You may need to replace the keypad. I found there was moisture causing the problem when we boiled water on the right side of our stove which is under the keypad. I let the microwave dry out for several days and now only use the left side of stove when we boil water and have not had the problem.

My child locked the microwave pad. How do I unlock it?

The operation manual is available for free download from Samsung at this site: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200305/20030529145700437_MW5592.pdf
The answer to how to lock and unlock is on page 15 of the manual. It's instructions are: 1. Press the '0' button, the display will show: "PRESS 1- DEMO 2-CHILD LOCK"
2. Press the "2" button, the display will show: "PRESS START"
3. Press the start button and the display will show "LOCK" then returns to the time of day.
At this point the microwave can't be used. To unlock, just repeat steps 1-3.
Hope this helps

Microwave Model 40180089700 shows "5E"

You have an error code and probably for good reason. maybe a switch is bad to keep out radiation for closing the door or what ever . If you don't know about these things don't mess with them! They are very dangerous and it can radiate you with out you knowing in some instances. Not worth messing with ,too dangerous for the unknown guy!!!!!
