This is an older Samsung microwave oven. The issue is the knob used to set the time has become very unreliable and jumps back and forth making it very difficult to set the time.
Many thanks for your video. I had the same problem as you with a little bit different Samsung model. Still I was able to take it apart, clean the knobs and now, my oven got a second life following your steps!
Thanks, I had the same problem and after seeing you did this I did mine too. Slightly different kind of rotating knob but cleaned and worked much better. Disabled the beeper as well the cover was open; cut one conduct to the beeper and now totally silent.
A friend of mine had an expensive combination microwave and it was making a funny fizzing sound. After a bit of exploration I removed the piezo buzzer disk and the problem was fixed, put it back and everything now works as it should. I still have my LG combi microwave that I bought in 1994ish 1/ microwaving baking potatoes without a plastic cover would trip one of the resettable thermal fuses, I pulled it apart twice thinking it was a fuse, by then it had fixed itself ;-)) 2/ fizzing sound cause by arc over on the HV scraped of the burnt plastic and cleaned it, not had a problem since. Unrelated BTW never try using grease to insulate HV it does not work I had a single cylinder motorbike in 1981 I thought I was helping bu greasing the HT lead on the spark plug that kept tracking in bad weather; sometime you have to learn the hard way. Handle kill switches are also a naught piece of kit, had a few track and prevent me starting the bike.
Great easy repair. I wonder how many appliances like this go into landfill every year because of similar faults. It seems to me that, while technology has advanced, the ability of the average person to perform simple repairs has actually diminished, because it's easier to buy replacements.
Thanks, yeah, it's a shame that a lot of appliances end up in the landfill because of simple faults. But I can understand that few people will take something like this to a place to get it fixed for $50-100 when you can get a new one for $100. I hope a video like this might give someone the confidence to try fix their own stuff when they see how easy it often is.

Thanks, slightly different issue but this video gave me the confidence to take the panel apart. Dial fixed 👍

That's great, mine still works fine, always feels nice to fix something instead of throwing it out.

Attempt to repair a Samsung Microwave with an unreliable encoder to set the time.
didn't have _this_ issue but needed to confirm that that's how you open the darn thing, so thank you so much for helping me fix my problem! haha
Always good to hear the video was helpful.

I wish you has made this video a few years ago when the rotary encoder in my 35 year old clock-radio had been misbehaving the same way.
Thanks, yeah a little spray of contact cleaner in the right place can really make a huge difference.
