Samsung DE94-01647D Assy-Control Panel;12 OEM Part

The error code indicated a short in the control panel. I read on the web that this is usually in the touch pad itself, so I ordered that assembly, which doesn't contain the circuit board. To replace it, I removed the 2 screws at the top which hold on the front top vent cover. The cover comes off by sliding it a little to the left and the pulling it out. It's a close fit, and mine was tough to move because of the grease and dust that had accumulated in it, but you actually can get it out without removing the door. Removing it exposes the one screw holding the control panel, and then the panel will pull off. Then you unplug all the connections to the circuit board and unscrew the grounding wire. The circuit board and its metal holder are screwed to the panel assembly, so unscrew the 4 screws holding the circuit board on and remove it, then pop out the metal holder. Then reverse the process with the new panel assembly. Before I replaced it, I also spent some time cleaning the vents and filter behind the vent cover.

Unplug the power cord. Open the microwave door and proceed to remove the top panel by removing two screws on top. Slide to the left and pull out. This exposes the single screw that holds the keypad panel. Remove the screw and the keypad comes out. Remove all connections, making sure to note what goes where, remove the grounding screw and the keypad comes away. Remove the 4 screws that holds the circuit board to the base, pop out the base board and transfer it to the new keypad panel. Proceed to install the circuit board, re-connect all the connections and screw the keypad onto the microwave. Re-connect the top panel and plug in the power cord. I was very impressed with the delivery. I got the package within 24 hours of ordering it !
