SOURCE: How do i replace the keypad of GE Profile over the range microwave
We have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel, which is very helpful when troubleshooting. It will help you test the keypad with your meter.
You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383
If you'd rather have us fix it for you, we do that for $39.95 plus parts.
DISCONNECTING THE KEYPAD
1. Be sure the oven is disconnected from the power line while you are taking it apart.
2. The keypad connection is the green or blue translucent plastic strip that plugs into a connector near the edge of the board.
3. There are two tiny tabs (one on each side) of the connector that you can gently pull up on to unlock the connector.
4. Then the keypad strip will lift out. Clean both sides of the end of the strip with alcohol-based cleaner if you like, but do not use ammonia-based cleaner. Dry the end of the strip. (A pencil eraser is better and safer).
5. Put the keypad strip back in, making sure both sides are down fully.
6. While holding the strip down, push the connector back down to lock it.
7. Try the keys again with the door closed.

Please provide the model number of the microwave, and we'll be able to supply the part info. (Some Samsung models with this problem were part of a huge recall).

If some pads on the keypad are not working, then you have a failed keypad.
If you (or someone you know) might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.

There
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.

On this model, the cover will have to come off to replace the light bulb. If it's mounted in the wall, it will have to come down.
The installation instructions are nice to have in this case. You can download GE owner's manuals and installation instructions here.
I have attached a drawing to show where the bulb is on this model. It is located on the right side of the oven next to the wall of the cooking cavity.
The bulbs are available in local grocery stores, hardware stores, and stores like Wal-Mart and Lowe's.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.

SOURCE: SE error on Samsung SMH9151B.
"SE" error means you
have a shorted membrane keypad.
The full model number from the tag on the oven should be one of these:
SMH9151B/XAA (service manual)
SMH9151B/XAC (service manual)
SMH9151BE/XAA (service manual)
I've included the service manual link for each one for your convenience. They'll help you with disassembly and in getting part numbers.
You can order parts by entering part numbers or your full
model number from the tag on the oven here.
There are three ways you can fix this, with the last probably being the best:
1. Replace the membrane keypad ("switch membrane"). The cheapest way but the hardest. If
you (or someone you know) might want to replace it yourself, I have
uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically
involved. It's here.
2. Replace the control panel frame assembly ("assy control panel"), which comes with a new keypad on it already. Pretty easy, not expensive.
3. Replace the entire controller ("assy control box"). Very easy, and usually not much more than option 2.
No matter which option you prefer, at
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Some connectors on the relays may have a lock:
