The "se" stands for shorted keypad. Pretty much the keypad on your microwave is fried. There\'s a wide range of ways it could\'ve happened but you have two options. You can either dissemble the microwave and order parts online for a replacment keypad or buy a new microwave.

SOURCE: The microwave display shows "--SE--" I have not

SE error indicates a short in the keypad assembly. This will mean the the control panel or smart board will need to be replace.

Microwaves are not good do-it-yourself projects. Microwaves are extremely dangerous to work on even while unplugged. Even unplugged some components retain a lethal amount of voltage.

Here is a link for the website and contact technician: Sears Home Services .

Hope helps.

SOURCE: Microwave starts beeping, four times then displays SE

Sounds as if it may be getting hot look at the back and under the unit there will be a grid of sorts sometimes at the back and//or the bottom or side/s of the machine check to see if this is free of dust etc if not clean and try again remember microwaves can give a nasty bite//please switch off and unplug first..

SOURCE: Microwave display flashing & beeping.

You have a failed membrane keypad.

On this model, GE doesn't make any parts available except the tray and the roller.

If it's in warranty, they will exchange or repair it.

It it's out of warranty, you're out of luck.

I'd advise you to contact GE Customer Service in case they may be able to help you.

Microwave started beeping with nothing in it now it says SE or 5E

These issues are usally due to a defective touchpad or control board. Troubleshooting would require disconnecting the touchpad ribbon cable from the control board to see if that made the problem go away.

Maytag microwave going crazy

< - Let ME know your full model number from the tag and I can give you complete detailed instructions on how you or a friend can fix it.

"SE" means you have a shorting membrane keypad.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and of course one should never leave a microwave unattended while cooking.

Samsung microwave displays press 1-4...

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.

My SMH9151W Samsung Microwave displays a -SE- or a -5E- and will not operate. I unplugged over night and still will not operate

I had the same issue on a 2010 smh9151w samsung microwave after installing it and using it with no problem for 5 days. The second time we unplugged the microwave and turned the circuit breaker off and on we didn't reset the clock on the microwave so the display shows :0 and it has been working for 7 days straight now. Fingers crossed that this is a long term solution. Hope this helps. Thanks!

You didn't mention your brand or model number, so I can only give you a general response.

It sounds like a shorting membrane keypad.

On Samsung's, they will show the error code "SE".

For detailed do it yourself info and/or an estimate, please post a new FixYa help request and include the model, or contact me here with that info.

SE error means you have a shorted keypad . If you couldn't find parts , then It will be cheaper to replace the unit or have new one .
