IT IS A GREAT MICROWAVE.. IN FACT we have 2 Samsung Microwaves. They make cooking easy and fast.

Overly loud Magnetron, insufficient vent fan, poor built quality. I do not recommend any Samsung microwave. Especially if you need a good exhaust fan to vent your gas cook top. Ours picks up less than half of the steam / smoke from our stove even when using the back burners.

Google for 5E error code on this model. I've been getting this code after a year of rarely use. I unplug mine for a couple days and seems to work after plug it back in. But the code will come back again.Seems like I'm not the only one running into this problem. There's even some videos on Youtube showing you how to fix the problem. I like and owned a lot of Samsung products, hope I knew it before hand. I would definitely skip this one. Hope that answer your question.

I've had a bunch of problems with this Samsung. First, exactly half the screen would go black. After jerking me around for a while (you know - getting me to troubleshhot their problem) they finally sent a repairman. His "fix" didn't work, and so they sent him again. It seemed to work for a while, but now 2 years down the road it's happening again. In addition, now when I turn on the set, it merely emits a load clicking noise and doesn't turn on. I have to unplug the set and then turn it on. Add all this to the mediocre picture, and my advice is to run like the wind from Samsung.

We have this microwave & have had this happen twice ...are you getting steady beeps and an se readout ? Samsung knows about this problem..said they had fixed it...they did not. They will not do anything although they know many people have the same problem...because of that... I will never buy Samsung again!!!

Its been over a year since I threw our Samsung microwave oven in the dump so relying on memory; the power specs, etc are either on the inside door frame, or on the frame around the door.

We had the same problem a few months back. A repairman came out and replaced both switches in the door. This did not completely fix the problem so, after much trial and error, he decided to use a rubber-band to hold the switches in a certain configuration. This helped our microwave for a while. Though he spent the majority of his day at our home, we were only charged for the house call. After reading through the reviews, it seems this is a common problem with this model. We are now looking for a replacement unit. Needless to say, GE models are not being considered.

Hi, this is a sharp little microwave, but unfortunately according to the Cleveland Better Business Bureau, the importer rates a D, and no telephone contact was possible after March of 2013. Unfortunately for me, I purchased one and it no it no longer worked after just 3 months or so. After researching the issue, I realized I had purchased it after the company was out of contact (probably out of business). Amazon kindly refunded my purchase price. So, buying it seems risky at this point in time.

Cant answer now because it is in the shop for the third time. Great microwave except a piece of trim the repetitively cracks and has to be replaced.

I ordered one to replace an Oster microwave that was just over a year old (and just out of warranty) that died and this one was was DOA, so I couldn't tell you. I would personally go with another brand.

Mine did the same. I was warming up water in a glass bowl, the humming noise got really loud and the whole thing failed. Studies have shown 15% of all Samsung microwaves fail. The repair person (who wanted $350 to fix it) said she estimates 60% of Samsung microwaves fail after 5 years. Samsung decided to fix mine for free, but I'm very tempted to just get something else. Also, Samsung requires only Samsung parts be used in repair, so expect repairs to take longer and be more expensive. They're still working through mine, but know that fuses blew and the mag is probably bad. Sorry you may be in the same boat I am. Mine did the same.

Looks like you can't eliminate the audible signal in this model. Also there is nothing about that in the manual. I tried a few button combinations but that didn't work (in some, maybe all Samsung microwaves you simultaneously hold Start and Stop buttons for a few seconds to eliminate the signal).

My microwave was doing the same thing and then all of a sudden it went out and didnt work anymore. I'm returning it because there is a 90 day factory warranty.

I have not had that problem. I purchased my Toshiba Satellite S85.... in 1/2013 and so far, so good.

Relying on Samsung to stand behind their products is risky. I will be returning a TV for the fifth time due to problems with the sound. It became defective within the first year. I return it for service, only to start the entire process over within a month or so. One time it was defective again right out of the box. They refuse to replace with a new unit since the problem didn't start within 90 days of my purchase. Actually, it began within six months of the purchase.

We had installed a Samsung microwave with the hood SMH9207ST included knowing we were going to change the stove eventually. The microwave and stove really finishes out newly remodeled kitchen............

Samsung is listed with several codes but we don't have specific model number information. If it doesn't work you can return it for a full refund less postage.
