Samsung microwave oven model #ME21K7010DS/AA
Judging from reviews of this model on Samsung's website, this is a common problem. Does it happen during or after using the cooktop or range below the microwave oven? In particular, is it most common when using the burner directly under the microwave oven control panel?
If the issues are correlated to heat or humidity from cooking on the range top, I would suspect problems with moisture in the keypad circuitry. I would consider cleaning the controller board key panel connector area with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol (this is an internal service on a circuit board that is most likely susceptible to damage by static electricity, so it should be done by someone who knows how to service electronics). This should remove contaminants that could cause current leakage between keypad connections (spurious keypad entries) in humid conditions. Let the board dry thoroughly before reconnecting.
It's also possible that moisture is getting into the keypad assembly. This would be a design/manufacturing flaw. I would guess the oven is out of warranty, so the fix would be to put the keypad in a dessicator for a day or so, then seal the edges with RTV Blue or a similar caulk that does not release acetic acid (vinegar) during the curing process. (Acetic acid even in vapor form may corrode the silver contact material in the keypad.) Do not seal the connector, just the edges of the flex ribbon layers where moisture can get into the key membranes.
In the meantime, always use the microwave oven fan when cooking on the range. This will help to keep the controller cool and dry. (Samsung's troubleshooting guide says the fan will turn on automatically if the microwave oven gets too warm from cooking underneath it.)

Hi i have Samsung Model GE0103MB microwave and i took it for repairs and the bottom switch is not engaging
It sounds like you are having difficulty with the bottom switch on your Samsung Model GE0103MB microwave not engaging with the door release button. This can prevent the microwave from functioning properly and could be caused by a few different issues:
- Make sure that the switch is properly connected to the door release button. The switch may have been installed incorrectly during the repair process, which could prevent it from engaging properly.
- Check the door release button to ensure that it is not damaged or malfunctioning. The door release button could be preventing the switch from engaging properly.
- Check the wiring connections to the switch and door release button to ensure that they are secure and not damaged.
- If you are having difficulty assembling the microwave, I suggest you to try and get the service manual or a diagram of the assembly process for your specific model GE0103MB. You can try searching for it online or contacting Samsung customer service, as they may be able to provide you with the information you need.
- If the problem persists, you may want to contact a qualified technician to service the microwave and inspect the door switch and door release button.
It's important to note that working on a microwave oven can be dangerous and should only be attempted by someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the device, and have the proper tools and equipment.

What does error code c_do mean?
It is prompting you to close the door, but if the door is closed already, the code may be an indication that the door interlock or associated wiring is at fault.
