- This Samsung over the range microwave (OTR) was a friend of mine's it was not working. I figured out what was wrong with it and he let me have it so that I can make this video for you guys. If this video was helpful to you please give it a like comment and subscribe. Thank you!
My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first czcams.com/users/postUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!
You are a good teacher. I will try on my Samsung 1000 microwave tomorrow. Thank you so much.
Thanks for video on OTR microwave for Samsung that didn't heat. NEVER woukd have figured it out without your help
Very easy to follow thank you.
Great information, appreciated that I didn't have to call a technician to debug the steps mentioned. Still my Samsung has all the sensors, cap, and diode checked good, but it still doesn't heat up. Time to buy another, I'm surprised their price is still the same after 4 years!
Glad I could help sorry I wasn't The Fix You needed. Best of luck
Good breakdown. Thank you.
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you this is what mine is doing. Thanks great video. Houston
Thanks bro great details 👌. I appreciated it
Thats risky showing people today how to discharge a microwave cap without using a ground, gen z will be going down in population, good job, thank you
For any questions you want answered please contribute to the ❤️ SUPER THANKS . Thank you
Go Samsung?! I’m here because my almost new Samsung microwave stopped working. My Samsung washer has an explosion warning on it. I’m done with Samsung.
They did have a recall on certain top-loading models I have a Samsung washer and dryer front-load that I love and I really like they're over the range microwaves I'm sorry if you had problems with yours
Bought the entire samsung for my new kitchen. My family hub fridge leaks water from the dispenser, my flex duo stove doesn't cook properly, and my microwave won't heat up. The dishwasher is the only thing not causing problems within less than 3 years of purchasing. I won't buy any of their appliances again after they told me they only warranty them for a yearm
Me too. Samsung microwave won’t heat less than a year after purchase and panel on stove flickers & flashes, can hardly read it. I’ll never waste my money on any Samsung appliances ever again.
Yeah me too fucking pieces of shit. Told my wife we aren’t getting Frigidaire again they are pieces of shit we need the good stuff like Samsung. Samsung is a much bigger piece of shit is what I’ve found…..
Good information: however, wish you had told us the number (if) of the fuse, and where you got it.
Such "thermal fuse" only that fails to produce heating on that different model. I'll check it out my Samsung microwave why there's no fan running too when try to heat food or water. Great helpful sharing tips, thank u brother. 👍
Thank you for watching
I have this exact problem- newer model. Did some diagnostics over the phone with Samsung, still unresolved. Called the repair shop. They charge $100 to walk in the door, then $75/hr for labor, plus parts. I paid $170 for this mw 3 years ago…I hate to just junk it and replace it as I’m sure it’s fixable but not at that price- I really have no other options. Thank you!
Yes most appliance repair shops price gouge sorry for that where are you located?
@@theapplianceguru I’m in Sacramento CA
@@margnielsen8764 aw man I don't know any one in that area. Honestly your best bet if you don't want to mess with it is shop around. In my experience yelp is a really good platform to find providers. They don't mess around when it comes to the reviews that the businesses on their website get and just call and make sure theyre upfront about pricing with you.
Awesome video
Thank you!
Thankyou sir 😀👍
Thank you for watching. May God bless you with good health and happiness.

Wow thank you

Good info and video. What is the part called that you replaced and do you have a part number from Samsung or can you get it on Amazon?
He called it a thermal fuse..
OMGosh! Our microwave stopped heating last night or this morning. We aren't sure. My husband assumed it was the capacitor, which runs a couple hundred dollars! Crazy, huh?! - So we went out looking at new microwave ovens. - I was searching for videos of some that we found that seemed acceptable. None really excited me; but it's an appliance that we use a lot, so we need a new one. - I came across this video! I'm super stoked and want to take our microwave off the wall and check to see why it isn't heating. It behaves just like this one in your video...it sounds like it is working but it doesn't heat. - So, while he is sleeping. I'm going to try to un install our microwave and see if I can do some trouble shooting! -- You have INSPIRED ME! I hope you just saved us some money too! I'll follow up and let you know what I find out about ours. :D - The biggest pain now...is trying to find the breaker without and additional person to yell back to me "Nope, not it.... nope, not it.. nope not it.... WAIT!!! - STOP! - That's it! That's the breaker! It's now off!" - Ha, ha. :D
Hi, Did you try to repair it? How did it work? I have the same issue.
@@hectorvazquez4928 did you repair yours?
I have a 2 year old Sharp smo1854ds that won't heat food at all. Ever since I bought it new it would go into some sort of thermal protection shutdown when cooking certain foods, such as boiling water, popcorn, etc. and the microwave would completely power down, no clock, nothing for about 30 minutes until it cooled off. But now it simply won't heat food at all. Any tips here as to what this sounds like? I know it could be a multitude of things, but any ideas would be helpful. Thank you man!
So mine (same model) just went out last night. Stopped heating, gave off a bit of a burnt smell. Unplugged and let it cool off overnight. Manufactured Jan '20. Checked fuses, all good. Lights and control panel work. Heated one thing (small cup of water). Took 1 minute to get mildly warm. Little slow in my opinion but ok. Tried some left over ribs and after 3 minutes they were still bone cold (pun intended). Checked those parts you replaced but didn't see any charred ends. How would I test some of these components? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't really have the money to replace this thing right now.
Thanks
I have similar issue on our microwave, looks like it's working but the water never heats up. I tested this thermo fuse and it didn't have any continuity so I assumed it was bad but when I started to research it some more, I think the one on the right (at least in my frigidaire microwave) controls the hood fan and nothing to do with the microwave itself. I have to confirm that by running it with the two leads disconnected to see if the hood fan will work. But the other thing I read was that this fuse only shows continuity at a certain temperature i.e. it's supposed to turn on the hood fan automatically if there is a lot of heat coming off the range below it. So I think that means it's hard to test it normally. Does this make sense to you?
Yes there is a thermostat on certain models that turns on the vent fans. However in the case of the video the one I replaced was bad and wouldn't show continuity the way I tested mine was I bridged the wires that ran to the suspected part and ran it a few times in a control environment and it worked flawlessly which lead me to believe it was not the fan thermostat and I needed to replace it.
2020 Samsung microwave runs but doesn’t heat anything . Checked all door micro switches, all 4 thermo safety switches, transformer and magnetron. The diode on the high voltage capacitor is bad. Found all test procedures for each item on you tube. All you need is a multi meter and a good 9volt battery to test the diode.
Great video, thanks. I have the 2.0 cu. ft. model me20h705mss with the exact same symptom.
However, Samsung told me none of the fuses or cut outs affect heating on my model & if any fuse or cut out were to blow, all power would be cut to the unit.
They assured me it was my Magnetron. Would you be so kind to list the model number of your unit? It would be very helpful to us.
What are the common causes of ceramic fuses failure?
Does anybody know where Samsung typically put the spec sheet that goes along with the microwave on the inside? Like where do they normally put these at , I have a microwave over the range like this one In video
how do you know which thermal switch (if there is more than one) and whats the part number (how to find it) / Thank you
Oh great, I just installed this same exact model.
What is the piece with the red wires connected directly behind the Thermal fuse you’re replacing? And should that one also have continuity?
I believe if it's NO (normally open) your fans would run constantly.
breaking a plate is $ but also time and effort to find the 1 that fits your specific model
the thermo fuse what should it show on the multimeter????
Man, I will order another one and get extended warranty.
Not sure if you'll see this, as the video is over a year old, but I've got the same microwave. Completely stopped heating. Took it apart and the thermofuse had no signs of being bad. So I replaced the diode and that did not work. What else is there?
A lot of these also have a thermal cutoff on top of the magnetron you have to check that one for continuity and if it does not have continuity than you found the problem however if that does have continuity it could be a door switch the magnetron itself it could also be the Transformer or even the main board the thermal fuses are always the first ones you should check but I will check the one that's on top of the magnetron.
By-the-way thermal fuse and thermal cutoff is the same part I just sometimes use one name and sometimes the other
Our year and a half old $500 Samsung OTR microwave just started not heating. Looks very similar to this model, only in black stainless. We knew something was up immediately because it started making a louder noise (and wasn't heating then obviously). Any thoughts on what a louder noise might indicate? Turntable still works
You would need a professional technician to check it and fix it because it's high-voltage and very dangerous. Usually but not always its the transformer when it makes really loud noise and doesn't heat. Could also be the noise filter. Get it looked at by a pro.
I have the same issue. 1 year warranty on something you pay 300 for. My TV has a longer warrant
Did you ever have this checked out/resolved? Having this exact same issue now and I’m wondering if it’s something I can fix myself or if I just need to replace the thing. Hate to replace it but if the service cost is going to be near/above the price of a new microwave then..
Mine got louder too
Same one I have but mine had lasted 5+ years.
What is the part number? I have the exact same microwave same issue?
I'm having the same issue in the model you have over the stove
I have that EXACT SAME MODEL and that is the EXACT same problem. It too became intermittent working at times then now won't heat. I've had mine a little over a year. Does this model Samsung have an issue?
Not really they just sometimes fail. Samsung OTRs are actually pretty good
Ours, too. Hardly even used!! Samsung quite frankly, SUCKS. Our Samsung appliances are problematic and we live on a remote island with no service options.
How do you get the control panel off on this style microwave. Have the SE code and my light stays on even when I close the door. Only 2 signs of power I get. Help would be much appreciated
The touch panel or the main board? SE means you probably will need the door if you've already checked the harness
My Samsung microwave says RUN instead of Cook and i replaced all filters. It does not heat up anything. It is model ME21H706MQG and only 3 years old. Any idea what is wrong with it?
Any answers on this, I have this same problem
I got the exact same model it doesn't eat and I did and E-85 code on the front... does anybody know what the E85 code is
Where are buy the parts
Okay so, since this is an OTR microwave, which is also what I have, how would you have gone about the repair if it was actually INSTALLED over the range?
Unfortunately mine has the same symptoms and IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD! And it’s a total pain to uninstall and reinstall over the range. Not happy!
Any idea how much this would cost for a Profesional to come and fix it???
What is the part name and what was the part number? I’m having this same issue... microwave is just over a year old..
it initially would pop the circuit breaker, so I spent $90 on a new breaker and not it won’t heat
The part I replaced is a thermostat
Update: I’ve opened the microwave as instructed.. I have one blown fuse, but no distinguishable thermostat showing signs of failure. (Yours was burnt) do I have to physically remove the thermostat to test for continuity and resistance? Or can I just remove the wires and test them as they lie?
Thanks for the quick reply!!!!! 🙏
@@rubenmoreno1439 did you fix the problem, what was the issue?
Our microwave took a crap this week. Same issue of it not heating up. A couple of weeks ago, the turntable quit working. Purchased from Lowe’s in Aug 2020.
nice vid, ill share
What model No. Is the microwave? Because I have one of those and I need to order the filter but the label is erased it
I don't remember but if it is a filter that goes underneath the microwave which is a metal filter and you still have it, it can be cleaned by soaking it in white vinegar and then wiping off all the yellowing (I would let is soak for a few hours)
I have the same microwave and have the 5e error, can u help with this and where to find the ribbon
Are you seeing 7s on the display randomly?
No it just says 5e error and i cleaned the wires but i cant find the ribbon that is usually the most common error
@@775MrBob its an SE error code and its usually the 7 key that shorts out. I haven't replaced the ribbon wire because it's more trouble than its worth and in my experience its the door the few times I've repaired microwaves with the SE it has been the door that's the culprit this is not advice on your microwave and in not guaranting that it'll fix it remember microwaves are high voltage and its dangerous to work on one.
Oh okay thank you do you have a video of you fixing the 5e error? There is no videos out there for newer models and i feel its a common issue
Everything turns on except the fan so there's no heat ....any sugestions
How to do correct the SE code on this microwave with the control panel on the door?
Do you randomly see 7s on the screen?
No, SE only
@@acollins9277 subscribe for repair recommendations.
I have the same microwave and it display the sign SE , what could be the problem?
I have the same problem, every time I press the stop button it beeps and resets and displays SE
Most time it's theres a ribbon that needs cleaning. You gotta unlock the side connection and use a pencil ✏ eraser clean ribbon then place it back in and lock ribbon back in
I only get it when I hold power level for few secs.
those fricken scews man
I have the same model Samsung microwave, my problem is the control panel is very dimly lit.
Probably would need a new control panel or door we would need to do diagnostics though
How do I get rid of the SE error code on this exact microwave?
You fix the issue. That's how. It's either a bad touch pad or a dirty ribbon wire. Nine time out of 10 it's a bad touch pad. Usually the 7 goes bad and gets stuck
@@theapplianceguru lol thanks big fella. I’ll see about in the morning.
Are you getting g the se code right away? I only get it if I hold the power level for a few seconds.
Samsung dishwashers also are not good lol
How is the error E-83???
Like and subscribe for more info.
Why don’t you just check it with a Ohm meter ?
Did you not watch the video? I said I did test it when I was originally diagnosing it and it was intermittently working which I have never seen happen.
good vid , but mine is 7 yrs old and a new otr one is $250 so fuck it ,i will just get a new one... thx anyway cause that is probably my problem....
That's what happened with my buddie he couldn't wait for the part to arrive so he just gave it to me and replaced it with a new one. Samsung microwaves are good I like them and they are cheap.
Mine is having an error message that says E11 and I don’t know where my manual is lol
We keep getting a e11 code
Made me dizzy about your video shaking too much! Thanks
Lol
PART NUMBER #?
I have the same Samsung microwave, ME18H704SFS. I tried all these, still microwave doesn't heat. Switches, fuses, capacitor, diode, and magnetron all work good. Can anyone suggest what could be wrong? No indication at all. Hate to waste this one, any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks
This might help
@jacob bonngard I have a mc35r8088lc which only works after I discharged the capacitor and doesnt work on subsequent tries. Is it the same as yours? Did you manage to find the fault?
@jacob bonngard tested all my thermal fuse, all with continuity and no visible burnt marks. I am out of ideas hahahahaaa
Only other thing could be a bad board.
Dude you take way too long.................
Get to the point lol
Right
It's called a heating element
No, this microwave does not have a heating element
@@theapplianceguru I'm in NY where do you buy a new heating fuse or whatever my problem is it don't heat I figured it was that before I seen the video
@@Skeptik-pe6ze the thermal cut off can be bought at any local appliance part shop I would use Google to find one and go to the one with the best reviews.
@@theapplianceguru so that's the same problem you had too then,
A simple 5 minute video ran out for 20 minutes of jibber jabber !
If you don't like it go pay a technician to fix it for you then
Gotta love safety circuits, add 15 more extra bad connects to screw up for the general public idiots non common sense, thank you lawyer's. And you sheeple
You talk to much
Get to the point bud.
You don't like it find a different video or call a tech... BUD
Dude it literally took you like 7 mins to take the cover off🤣 u could have atleast skipped that I doubt people care to hear u talk about the screws that much or watch u struggle taking that cover off.
Sorry bro ❤️
Did you know.....this video would make more sense if it was short and to the point?
