Brett D Comstock Park , MI June 16, 2015 Samsung microwave e5 code Unplugged the wall outlet and went to work. Watched a Youtube vide on how to change this touchpad first before I started, so as I got into it, there were no surprises. Hardest part was actually peeling the old unit off the plastic base. The adhesive is strong. It works really well to just rub the leftover glue with you finger to get it to ball up and be removed before you stick the new one in place. Really a very straightforward repair as long as you can wield a Philips screwdriver and the sight of a circuit board doesn't make you terrified.

Mark W Plantation , FL March 28, 2016 The switch membrane failed causing random led information and beeping this is obviously a flaw wtih this over the range samsung microwave because this is the third replacement i have installed I replaced just the membrane. Unplug. Then remove two Phillips screws on top of the vent/diffuser, shift slightly and remove. Then remove one screw holding the touchpad. Lift up then out. Gently remove four connectors and the ribbon connector on the board and the touch pad is free. Remove three or four screws holding the circuit board to the metal bracket inside the plastic touch pad housing. Remove the metal bracket by gently separating the plastic tabs. A knife or small flathead can be used to pry a corner of the old membrane up then peel it off. It is about as thick as a credit card but flexible. Run the ribbon connectors through their slot and adhere the peel and stick new membrane. Reassemble in reverse order. Read More...
