SE APPEARS ON KENMORE 40185052210 MICROWAVE LED AND NOTHING ON PANEL WORKS

SOURCE: kenmore over the range microwave 721.67600 will not cook

One of two thing happened here...
1. most likely...One of the interlock switches has malfunctioned. Micro. will NOT opperate unless ALL switches are working properly for safety
2. possible...the start button on the touch pad has failed in the circuit.

-SE- error means you have a shorted membrane keypad.

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.

There are three ways you can get it fixed:

DE34-00178X SWITCH MEMBRANE $20.30
ref#53 membrane keypad
take yours off as in the video at our site, peel the old keypad off as in this handy guide with pictures , clean the surface, stick on the new keypad
order by part number here
(We can do this job for you for a total of $70.25, but as you can see, the other two options are more practical and economical)

DE94-01647A ASY CONTROL PANEL $39.01
ref#66 control panel frame with keypad
take yours off as in the video at our site, disconnect the keypad strip as shown here, move your circuit board to the new frame, reinstall
order by part number here

DE94-01648A ASY CONTROL, BOX $58.12
ref#59 complete control panel assembly with frame, keypad and circuit board
take yours off as in the video at our site, then install the new one
order by part number here

If these parts are not in stock, they should be available in about a week or so.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

F3H error means a failure in moisture sensor however, if you leave it unplugged for 15 minutes it should work, if won't then the sensor or the control board needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
