Microwave starts on its own and displays PAN

The Kitchenaide microwave starts on its own and displays pan. Unplugged it for over an hour, reset the clock and about 10 minutes later it started up and displayed PAN again. Called one service company here in FL and they said it is probably the motherboard? Can't tell if they know what they are talking about since we found some good repair people and some bad in the last few years. Glitch is they will charge $75.00 just to come over whether they can fix it or not. Any suggestions on the problem? We bought this house 2 years ago and all appliances are kitchen aide and we are not happy with any of them, perhaps kitchenaide is made by some off the wall company of a lesser quality?
Thanks for any help.

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!

Hi. I pressed the 'quickstart' button on my micromat 900 w microwave and used it for 10 seconds. On pressing the 'door open' button, the display panel is showing '1' rather than the cooking time or the...

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for maybe an hour. Then let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.

It may be a problem with a door switch or door switch mount.
