Samar February 18, 2016 for Model Number SMH9187ST/XAA My previous message: The light stays on all the time whether the door is open or closed and the fan comes on when the door is closed without the food being warmed. Warming/Heating of food works. Samsung Model Number SMH9187ST/XAA As you suggested I tested the micro switch with a multi-meter and found as follows: Switch at the bottom connects to the door: 1) Door Closed: Switch Closed; Door Open: Switch Open 2) Switch just above this Switch: Door Closed: Switch Open; Door Open: Switch Closed (Opposite of the above) 3) Switch on Top: Door Closed: Switch Closed; Door Open: Switch Open. (Same as number one) Given this result what do you think is "not right" so I need to change that switch? Thanks a LOT for your help!
1 Answer Hello Samar. Based on that test, you will need to replace the control board. It sounds like the switches are good. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Samar. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like a door switch is bad in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Terry December 07, 2015 for Model Number SMH1611B Our microwave turns on when we open the door, though it still cooks food as it should. I was told that this is likely a microswitch and was wondering if you carry these in stock, how many are in the microwave and if you know how difficult replacing these could be?
1 Answer Hello Terry. You have 2 of 3405-001034 and 1 of 3405-001033. They are not hard to replace, but you will need to uninstall the microwave to install the switches. Read More...

Ed W. September 11, 2014 for Model Number SMH9187ST I can't fully close the door, so my microwave won't start, unless I push hard on the door. The door hooks look OK, but the top receptacle on the body of my unit seems to be missing. The bottom one has a visible black piece inside, with what looks like a copper piece inside the black piece, but the top receptacle is missing this piece. It may have fallen out? Can you tell me if this may be the problem; if so, what is the part, and can I install it myself? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Ed! The upper portion of the latch body DE96-00414A doesn't have a visible door switch as the bottom portion does. Check to see if the latch is broken at the point where the spring would attach. The part number for the latch is DE64-00760A. Read More...
