Kenmore Microwave SE Error Code — Sensor Error (Touchpad Lock)

Kenmore Microwave

Medium Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the SE error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

The SE error on some Kenmore microwave models indicates the touchpad has become locked or a sensor error has occurred. On certain models, “SE” indicates a stuck sensor key similar to F2.

What To Do

  1. Press and hold the STOP/CLEAR button for 3 seconds to attempt to clear the SE lock.
  2. Unplug for 30 seconds and restore power.
  3. If SE returns, clean the keypad with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly, and restart.
  4. Persistent SE requires professional keypad replacement.
