- Error code
- SE

- Microwave
SE on Maytag over-the-range microwaves indicates a keypad (user interface) or wiring issue; resetting power is the first move.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so SE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
SE
SE means there is a problem with the keypad (user interface) or its wiring.
SE, in plain terms
Maytag ties SE to the keypad, also called the user interface, or to its connecting wiring. The code is documented for over-the-range microwaves.
Try a reset
Go to the breaker(s) and turn the microwave off for one (1) minute, then back on. Spend one (1) minute watching the microwave oven for SE, and then verify that it operates. If SE shows up once more, book service rather than keep pressing keys.
