It's amazing to me how things we buy now do not last. Our Samsung switches went bad after a year, but a microwave from the 1980's probably still runs great.
Thank you for showing us the small things we can do for ourselves to save money. Your advice worked not only to sloving the problem, but saving me money as well.
Thank you. Got mine back up and running for the time being anyway. Had a burned out fuse but all my switches were fine. Time will tell. You saved me some money and the family thinks I’m a genius!
Rather fix our old 2009-2010 microwave, than buy a new one. My spouse believes parts are more expensive than a new one most times, but we just had a conversation of his Dad owning the same lawnmower for over 40 years! The repair shop has offered to buy it… All in all, fix what’s broken, stop buying new!!
Thanks for making this video, I was able to pull apart my Samsung and fix it. In my case the power wires going to the circuit board were loose. I owe you a beer if we ever meet in real life.
My guy, I've been having a shit day with things breaking left and right. Trying to fix my recently dead microwave and your video made me laugh. I ordered parts, microwave fix in progress, but making me laugh has helped enough. Thanks, dude!
This morning mine started making a humming noise as if it was on. Few minutes later the display went out about twenty later the display was on again and making the humming sound. It would stop when we opened the door but resume once closed. Going to put some sheets in the washer and I'm smelling something sweet. Low and behold the microwave had warmed up a piece of cake we had in there and not only melted the Styrofoam plate but also the icing. Would this be a fix for that? Prior to today we had not one issue with our microwave
No I didn’t need to throw that piece of garbage out I’m never buying any freaking more Samsung stuff didn’t even last 10 years my refrigerator is a piece of crap to I’m gonna go get me one of them old olive green refrigerators like I have in my garage that things still works.. And it’s from 1979
Well, I appreciate you taking the time to think me it does mean a lot to me welcome to the channel very happy to have folks on board like you did appreciate what we do
My SAMSUNG microwave stopped working. It is turning on, plate is turning and light will come on but the time won't move and food won't heat. Any idea what this could be? Thanks!
Thank you for posting that video. I need to order some switches for my Samsung microwave too. Can you please share the Amazon link for those switches? Also, how do I know which switch model numbers to order?
I sure can I will also put it down in the description. If you remember back from in the video I talked about the switches that I ordered that made them universally useful . So it’ll make it simpler for you you just use the same post that I used in the video or the ones that you took off of the switches.
Mine stopped working for the final time. I've been able to jiggle the wires to get it to work, but now it just has the door/keys error code of c-do. Every time this code came on, was due to steam coming from stovetop. New boards are $130 and the microwave is already 5 years old, but looks new. Should I just get a new one? If I get a new one, I will get one where the vent automatically comes on.
Hey I tested mine and on of them beeps or lights up when the switch is open. Is it defective? I have three switches. It doesn’t beep when I press the red button. Is it supposed to be that way to let the circuit board know when the door is open?
My microwave works but the power must have went out because the clock was flashing and when I go to reset the clock the power level button isn't responding. Do I need to take off the panel? I tried unplugging it and it still doesn't respond. It's only a year old with minimal use. Please help
@@sharpcarco Thank you, I will do that. I thought I understood from the video that if a switch goes bad it will cause the fuse to go with it. I guess I misunderstood - thanks again! great video and support
Mine seems to stop responding to pressing keys when the stove makes it hot. If I unplug it and wait a couple of minutes i can reset it and the keys will work again for a little. Is this a loose cable?
My (SAMSUNG ME18H704SFS/AC) microwave exhaust vent makes a low humming sound when i press the VENT button. Any idea what it could be? There's no suction, just a humming sound. Thank you!!
Well like I said I’m not a appliance repairman. But I have noticed the original switches only go on one way so if you look at the original switch and right before you go to install the other one you can look at the two and figure it out. Look at the sides of the switches that will tell you if it’s opened or closed but if you put the new switch on exactly the same way that the other switch was on you won’t really have to worry about it too much
Good question. As he noted, if you order the exact same numbered part, you should be fine, though stranger things have happened. My training would say order the schematic, or maybe it's online. Then, when you determine whether it's supposed to be Normally Open or Normally Closed, get your multimeter out. Touch the two leads with your probes. A Normally open should give you no indication on the meter if it's good. If it's bad, it will give you a Closed indication. Then again, it can fail open too! So toggle it and note that it completes a circuit in one state but not the other. For a Normally open, reverse the process.
What type and size is that fuse you replaced on the circuit board? My microwave is completely dead as well. I had pushed the 30 second button to reheat and it immediately lost power. I checked the plug and the fuse box, they weren't the issue. It has now been unplugged for days and I want to get all the parts together before I try fixing it myself.
that sucks but what you want to do is look on the fuse and replace it. Amperage and size they vary from model to model. The rest of the parts are down in the description there’s a link to Amazon. The switches are pretty cheap and they’re very very handy to have for many other small appliances around the house they work in dozens if not hundreds of applications.
My over the range Samsung looks like yours but I will check mine and pick up a set of fuses. Thank you BTW for your fantastic and descriptive video, I was looking online for a new microwave until I saw your video.
I appreciate the kind words Stuart thank you very very much we’re very happy to have you. Yeah try to avoid them Samsung‘s….. even though my limited knowledge on appliances is that most of them are pretty much the same on the inside. …. It just makes me feel better knowing that Samsung is not getting any more business from people who watch my videos about the different problems I’ve had with all of the appliances I’ve got my refrigerator is a even bigger problem than my microwave was 🤦🏻
My Microwave stopped working. Light was turning ON and OFF but it was not heating anything. I confirmed that it was not in DEMO mode. After few days like that i turned ON vent and Microwave powered OFF. Since than it is not powering ON at all. Do anyone have idea what could have happened or suggestion for which switch or fuse to check first?
Definitely going to recommend checking the fuse first. And regretfully I don’t know a considerable amount of stuff about them this was the first time I ever worked on one…. Behold the power of editing…. At time is it looked like I really knew what I was talking about
Sorry I looked at my orders , don’t see them , I can ship you my extra , if you don’t mind paying for them they cheap if I remember, say like 7 or 10 each , I’m out so can’t do it till Wednesday next let me know , email thenewclayway@gmail
Do you get danger pay for having to work in such a filthy environment? Joking aside, have you ever had to/tried replacing the non-replaceable button battery on these Samsung microwave boards?
More than likely not. It is possible though and very simple to perform so it’s worth a try unfortunately I’m not a small appliance repair person so I really don’t know you could have a blown fuse or possibly a bad switch would be my guess. Definitely worth trying though
No my microwave was absolutely fine. After the repair it worked absolutely perfect But because I disconnected something that I did not show in the video that was unnecessary to disconnect and then connected it to the wrong location it Fried my transformer. In the video you see it working because luckily I hadn’t connected the wire yet that eventually destroyed my microwave for good….. This is a very solid repair and it certainly fixed mine if I wouldn’t of been messing with other things that I didn’t know about I would’ve been just fine this will surely fix yours and probably 99% of them out there if they’re not already messed with
@@sharpcarco ah ok. glad to hear. Btw; ive got the same model, considering that smoke and heat from the cooktop clearly affect the lifespan of the microwave, what would you consider is a safe distance from the cooktop to the bottom of the microwave.?
I have a different problem - my microwave won't turn off and it's also not heating anything. When I turn it on from the power switch on the wall, it immediately turns on and starts rotating and none of the buttons are working. Do you know what the problem could be?
I hope he's wrong about the pants and the seven year old. I think Samsung is a South Korean Product. I may be wrong but I think they actually have decent human rights there. Now. For all I know, Samsung pays China to assemble these, so, heck, who knows.
@@sharpcarco Who makes bad products, Samsung? I have several Samsung TVs, all Samsung appliances and a Samsung Smartphone. I love my Samsung products. Granted, the washer can lock up in Summer because of the heat in the garage. But otherwise, just awesome.
Well, their appliances are freaking terrible you’ll find out. Don’t take my word for it just Google it. Their appliances are just got off a piece of junk. I will never buy another Samsung appliance as long as I live I don’t know about their TVs. I don’t have any of that stuff because I had enough after I spent $4000 on this crap.
I’d be willing to bet you have a blown fuse , but I’m not a microwave repairman. Just make sure it’s unplugged for a little while open it up and look inside , it’s probably not going to fix itself (not train to be sarcastic over a text message you would have to hear my tone LOL) Samsung products are such pieces of crap. Other than this video and another video that I made about my fridge just stopping working, I will never buy this garbage again I paid good money for it to

Watched your video and I fixed my Samsung microwave that didn't heat. It was a switch. I'm 77 and never to old to learn something new. Arlene

It fixed our microwave!!! Thank you so much. We only spent a 6 point star screwdriver, $8 and the fuse for $8.
At work We use a microwave Citizen brand was made in 1974 it is working Perfectly
Thanks, my problem was a door switch. Fixed in two days with a switch from Amazon!
Thanks for the video. Problem was the 250 volt 20 amp fuse. Bought one at Lowe's for $6.

If one of these was dropped during installation closes but shuts off instantly would that be cool fan issue? I assume
