What just happened? SMH1816S just QUIT. Power good.

As I mentioned I had two of these blow up. Don't recall what the first one did, but the second one quit while making a bizarre noise. It then resumed working for awhile, until it quit completely, no power or lights at all. I just bought a Whirlpool from Amazon and it came damaged. I heard the Fedex driver drop it outside my house. It said team life, but it was just one sixty year old man. I called and they discounted it $150 for the dent on the front. I bought a three year replacement plan with it.

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.

I was able to fix mine myself from doing online research and found video on Youtube. The circuit board was contaminated from the steam. I removed it and clean it with alcohol and put it back and it has been working ever since. That's a very poor design. This is an oven range microwave. it should be able to withstand that kind of problem. I will definitely not going with Samsung again on my next purchase.

Same experience. Nice to look at but abruptly stopped working. After resetting the circuit breaker each time, an SE error code appeared briefly. The repair was considerably more than replacement. Wrote a letter to president of samsung after customer service said. Too bad. It is a few months out of warranty. Immediately got a response and after jumping through some hoops got a prorated refund. Good luck.

call Samsung directly 1-800-SAMSUNG. They know these ovens have issues and call them quick while you have a warranty

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!!!

If you unplug and replug your microwave, and the screen displays an "SE" error, then you can salvage the microwave for about 1-2 more months. Some sort of residue or moisture builds up in the keypad and causes it to fail. There's a Youtube video on how to fix (Google "Samsung SE error fix"), it takes about 20-30 minutes to fix. After it failed the 5th or 6th time, it began failing after 10 mins, so you'll need to get a new one at that point. You can find good stainless steel microwaves at less than $200 if you look around, so you're probably better off just replacing it sooner than later...

You've been Samsunged. Microwave goes out within 18-24 months, without fail. Steam and condensation shorts out transponder and will cost you money to repair unless you have home or extended warranty. If not, you are fried like the nuke. Happened to me. Smoke filled the house and thought the house was on fire, but it was all centralized to the mic. Home warranty covered the repairs, but the issue can happen again. Will be replacing it as soon as I can in 2014. In my opinion, if you can replace do it and don't put a bandage on an artery wound.

Me too and I should have unplugged it immediately instead of waiting a a few minutes. It fried mine.

I had a similar thing happen, but it was the power supply that was causing the problem. I'd call a best buy and take the power supply in and have them test it. They did it for free for me.

So far so good for me, I'll keep monitoring mine as well. I would contact Corsair to see if a replacement will be granted under warranty.

I'm having the same problem- they were working so well then yesterday off and on static and today it just turned off. New batteries didn't help either.

That had happened to me as well. Just unplug and try plugging it back in. Took a few tries but back up in no time. Great purchase sounds great.

My unit did appear to stop functioning at one point. I just fully unplugged for a few days and re-plug in and all was good. Maybe try unplugging for a few hours. I just forgot about it after unplugging.

Something is certainly messed up. Few minutes tops.. It could be power supply..jeez... Dead Upon Arrival. I've had good luck with mine though....

I had to purchase a new one when that happened to me. Power surge fried it.

I had same issue when I got my s2 from Amazon. It was powering off after 10 min running. I also have an cointerra miner so what I did I swaped the power cords and the cointerra was not working. So it was the power cord fault. Try to get a new power cord.

Bad circuit board, or controller. I have a new circuit board I could sell you. Sounds like a bad controller.

We disconnected the unit from the desktop and power source. we let the system sit for a few minutes, reconnected and rebooted. All is well.

The same thing happened to me. I think the computer shorted out. I ended up returning the item. Make sure you put the batteries in correctly and then turn it on and off two or three times. That worked for me but it crapped out about three days later.

Please check all the connections and replace with a new power supply. If the problem remains please send it back. Thanks!

Good question. Mine did the same thing. Worked for a couple weeks then quit

First you might want to check the black button on your power supply to see if it got turned off....if that still doesn't work then the power supply died and you might want to speak to cybertron pc to get it replaced.

Yes, i have a 500+ power supply inside this puppy as we speak. It was extremely tricky and seemed impossible for me to get my power supply in so i like ziptied it and that caused it to bluescreen, you need to make sure you get it in correctly and screw it in properly, though i didnt know how until i had a repair guy check it out.
