Over heating issues
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Having issues with unit. After about 8 minutes on high it makes a noise and power drops very low and doesn’t seem to microwave on high anymore. You have to let the unit cool down for about 10 minutes before it will even work anymore.

Good looking but with flaws

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This microwave (ME21R7051SS) looks really nice once installed, but that's about it. It is much slower to cook than my previous, 10-yr old Maytag. Very disappointed. It is also hard to see the food inside, because the inside is very dark and the window is very narrow to accommodate the controls. Another major flop is the fact that the kitchen timer cannot be used while cooking anything, and vice-versa!? If you start the timer, the cooking function is disabled. If you are cooking and push the kitchen timer button, nothing happens. What good does a kitchen timer do if it can't be used while actually cooking. I don't know what they were thinking...

Waste of money. The buttons had like a clear protective layer, not like the one you peel off but one that’s supposed to be permanent and it began to chip and peel after a month. The handle got wiggly and the bottom screen pops out CONSTANTLY!! After about a 2 years of use the whole entire microwave broke. It keep giving a “door” error. Upon googling it’s super common. Samsung doesn’t care bc it’s out of the one year warranty.

Useless function buttons
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased the Samsung microwave ME21R7051SS 3 months ago. I am disappointed in the functioning of the product.
When you set the kitchen timer you cannot perform another function without cancelling the timer. On my previous microwave another function such could be performed. This is very inconvenient allowing the microwave only to function as a timer. I do not need a $500 timer.
Also, the sensor reheat function rh-1, rh-2, rh-3 overheats my food. When I called Samsung customer service I was told there that these functions are preset and you cannot adjust the time or power level. I was told that I needed to set the time and then adjust the power level after putting the food in the microwave. This totally defeats the purpose of the preset buttons.
I would not recommend this product. At this price point a better microwave is available.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Awful, SE error twice on this microwave....how can that be? It was fist within the year and the repair was covered under warranty. Now the second time around it was oever the year and out of warranty. Called Samasung to explain that this happened twice and there should be something wrong with the unit design if failed twic for the same reason (The repair should have lasted at least a year).....didnt get the help! what a shame after owning 2 samungs TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, over the range microwave, stove.....i think i need to consider different brand. Now time to buy one, but i shouldnt consider the same microwave/brand

We understand that a microwave should function without an error code for more than a year, MoisesQ. We're here to help!
S.E. means Key short error.
If you get an error code, service is needed. First, though, you may clear the error if you power cycles the microwave. And if moisture may have gotten in the microwave, that could be causing errors, too, so let it dry. Below is a link for more information.
Please provide us with this reference number (1145608727) to help our team pull up your information when you message us.

Do Not Buy!!!!!
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Six years ago I moved into my new home and renovated my kitchen to include all new Samsung appliances in black stainless steel which I purchased at Best Buy. Upon the installation of my appliances by certified tech's, the dishwasher leaked. Called the tech from Samsung who told me the countertops were not installed properly and they could not fix it. Luckily, I was able to repair it myself, even though the tech stripped the screw to adjust it. Next the stove, as we cleaned it the black stainless began to chip off and reveal the stainless steel under it. Shortly after, the refrigerator's ice maker completely stopped working. Lastly, on Christmas Day, this microwave stopped working completely, tripping the breaker each time we started it. Samsung customer service has been of no help at all and I gave up dealing with them once my ice maker stopped working. I spent close to $6000 on appliances and all have issues, this is completely unsatisfactory, as I have always had faith in Samsung electronics, however their appliances are awful!!!

SE Error

According to many other reviews I guess we were lucky to make it 2 years and 9 months before getting the SE error and no longer able to operate. I have never had issues with Samsung brand until now.

Complete failure after less than 3 years of use
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
15 months after purchase, the digital display on the door failed. the microwave itself still worked, but I would not know if I had entered 0:20 or 2:00 for the time. It was a guessing game. Not to mention not being able to see the time or use the timer function. To correct the issue required replacing the whole door at a cost of $135. Not happy! 30 months after purchase, the heating mechanism failed. Now I have the opposite problem, I can use the clock and timer but the microwave does not heat anything up. Replacing this microwave will not come with the purchase of another Samsung microwave.

Bought the microwave back in December of 2020. It worked great recently untill it didnt. Have the "SE" Error code and was able to fix it one time. Second time the microwave is done. The replacement parts cost almost as much as the microwave. Not buying Samsung again.

We purchased this microwave, and had it installed the end of December 2020 during a full kitchen remodel.
It has already stopped working. Called Best Buy, gave them the error code shown on the door. Parts to repair are $370 plus $100.00 to repair. What a waste of money this item was. I do not recommend this at all! It's a total Throw away!

If you like to use the stove under the microwave, then this is a WASTE of money! The steam from cooking with make the microwave malfunction. You'll need to pay more money to repair this about once a year.

This microwave makes a crackling/popping noise about 10 seconds into the time. This happens with or without food in the microwave. A new microwave is on the way but, of course, will not be here until after the holiday. This leaves us high and dry until then. Best Buy has not been of any assistance, other than to offer their apologies. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!
