When the microwave shuts off, there is still a hum coming form the unit. The microwave operates just fine
Hello David, thank you for your inquiry. If your microwave is making an unusual or loud humming noise, you may have a problem with the magnetron. This component is part of the high voltage circuit and provides the microwaves that generate the heat. For your model 40185053210, the correct replacement part is PS4251316. I hope this information helps!

Microwave "died" while making popcorn. Circuit breaker did not pop. Is this reparable?
Hello Don, Thank you for the question. If there is no power in the appliance (no lights or display) we suggest testing the Thermostats with a Multimeter to check the continuity. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
The internal fuses blow when start button is pushed. What is wrong?
Hello Charles, thank you for contacting us. Microwave parts like door switches or the magnetron, if defective or wrongly installed, will cause microwave fuses to continuously blow. A problem with the power socket and electrical wiring may also cause the issue. We would recommend checking the following parts: the door micro-switch, part number PS11741686, the magnetron, part number PS4251316, the HV capacitor, part number PS4130920, and the HV transformer, part number PS4223540.
When any of these parts is shorted, the microwave will blow internal fuses. Please follow safety precautions because all of them are high-voltage parts. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.

The repair was very easy, however the bulb was not the same as the original one. The original bulb had a bright setting and a low setting, but the replacement bulb was only the low setting bulb. There was no bright and dim operation. The switch on the microwave had the duel settings.

First I read through the customer comments, reviews, questions, etc. at Parts Select, which is always a good bet. Then I put "samsung microwave door switch replacement" into youtube and watched some videos. They don't even have to be for Samsung. From what I can tell, many of the appliance companies use the same design and the same jun
... Read morek parts, so watching a GE video is almost the same for example. Watch some videos to familiarize yourself with the steps. There are maybe six to disassemble and install the new part. I replaced all three switches. They are not expensive and to replace 3 is only 5% more work than to replace just one; you have to take the microwave apart in either case. UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE FROM THE WALL. Start taking it apart. I use my phone to take a picture of any thing I remove, unscrew or disconnect, especially wires, BEFORE I disconnect them. Thee pictures serve as a reference when I go to reconnect and reassemble. If I am uncertain then I check the picture. Good luck!
