The microwave was smoking and now does not turn on.
For model number SMH1816S
Hello Jessica and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty thermostat PS4226431, you should check for signs of damage, and replace it if needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
The microwave works fine, but the display is so dim, we can barely read it.
For model number SMH1816S
Hello John, thank you for contacting us. According to the description, the issue is most probably with the relay control board, part number PS4235753. You may need to replace the relay control board to fix the issue. Before replacing the control board, we would recommend checking the wire harness is connected properly. We hope this solves your problem!
My door will not close. I took off the trim and the spring was still attached to lift arm but it looks like where spring attaches to door is broke. Now what
For model number SMH1816S
Hi Robert, thank you for the question. Based on our research, the spring attaches to the door key in the door assembly. If the part where the spring attaches is broken, you may need to replace the door key, part number PS4229162. We hope this helps!
Our Samsung microwave started turning on when just when we would open the door. (not safe.) now, it doesn't do that it doesn't run at all. I have tried entering a cook time and all it will do is turn the interior light on. The clock and timer still work. Is this something that is fixable?

Removed control panel, discharged HV capacitor. Removed old diode, tested to confirm failure. Replaced part. Other than the removal of the panel swapping the part was almost as easy as replacing a light bulb.
First I read through the customer comments, reviews, questions, etc. at Parts Select, which is always a good bet. Then I put "samsung microwave door switch replacement" into youtube and watched some videos. They don't even have to be for Samsung. From what I can tell, many of the appliance companies use the same design and the same junk parts, so watching a GE video is almost the same for example. Watch some videos to familiarize yourself with the steps. There are maybe six to disassemble and install the new part. I replaced all three switches. They are not expensive and to replace 3 is only 5% more work than to replace just one; you have to take the microwave apart in either case. UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE FROM THE WALL. Start taking it apart. I use my phone to take a picture of any thing I remove, unscrew or disconnect, especially wires, BEFORE I disconnect them. Thee pictures serve as a reference when I go to reconnect and reassemble. If I am uncertain then I check the picture. Good luck!
The high voltage tired was shorted. I replaced it with a new one, but that did not solve the problem.
You can test the high voltage tired with a voltmeter and a 9 V battery. Search Search for it on YouTube.
You can also test the high voltage capacitor, the high-voltage transformer, and the magnetron with a multi meter. Search for the procedures on YouTube.
I tested all these high-voltage components with a low-voltage multi meter, and they all checked out OK (after replacing the diode). However the microwave still did not heat food.
When working on a microwave it is important to unplug it and also discharge the high voltage capacitor. The capacitor has a 10 megaohm resister to automatically discharge itself, but it may have failed – – so discharge it manually.
