Now it turns on but it wont heat or fan won’t work. Not a good product at all very very disappointed about this from SAMSUNG

          Poor quality
          Worked great at first but after a few months the plastic hook inside the door holding the spring to the latch broke. Microwave door now won’t close or operate. I have to replace the entire door now which is costs almost as much as the microwave did.

            Unfortunate
            Had this microwave only three years before it stopped working. Other than that, it was a decent microwave for the price.

              Turns on by itself - will not turn off
              it runs automatically, but it will not heat anything. if you open the door, it will stop working and the other functions (fan, oven/stove lights, clock) work, but the microwave itself will not.

                  No longer heats.
                  We bought this microwave 2 years ago and hardly use it. It just recently it stopped heating up. Everything else works but no heat. An internet search finds this is not uncommon. I have called some appliance repair shops but the house call is near as much as the microwave. I tried Samsung support and they could not even get me to the right department. As of now I will steer clear of Samsung in the future.

                      it turns on by itself
                      it turns on by itself. Often when i shout the door it will just turn on and start running. Had it repaired it still does the same thing. Even if there is no time left on the microwave it will just turn on by itself. Very dangerous, it is unplugged now, very poor quality price was great but that must be why.

                            You're absolutely right, SCHERRIE! This microwave is designed so that the vent will automatically turn on to prevent damage, when too much heat is rising from the cooktop. ^Jecca Samsung

                                After one year of using the handle fell off, we changed it through Samsung warranty and it becomes broken again in a 2 months. After less than 2 years it stopped working at all.

                                  Very Disappointed
                                  i didn’t need a fancy m/w so this one fit the bill—an exhaust fan over my range, something in which to make popcorn, steam veggies and melt butter. installed yesterday by my contractor, tried it out, seemed ok and the next day it started not heating things up. unless i stand there and hold the door closed. i’ll be calling tech support, but i really thought i could get a couple years of use, not a couple of days.

                                    we bought this microwave to match our range less than two years ago. it worked fine for a while until a month ago or so a key to turn on fan stopped working. after two weeks most of the keys from 0 (zero) and below also stopped working so the device is now useless. i was able to identify parts numbers and tried samsungparts.com only to find that parts are either not available or not found. so the first problem is that this unit failed in less than two years. our previous over the range microwave was more than 20 years old and was replaced because we wanted a new look and, unfortunately, we selected samsung. the second problem is that the parts to fix it are no longer available. i guess samsung may be good with pure electronics but not with appliances.

                                      I was disappointed in the quality of the microwave. The handle isn't made of the same stainless steel of the door. It seems to be a flimsy plastic material. The guys who installed it were great. I appreciated their attention to detail and swift work.
