Affected model seriesE30MH65GPSA, E30MH65GSSA
Quick answer
Electrolux microwave code -SE- indicates key-short condition on the touch control.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and control generations, so -SE- may mean something different on another appliance or platform. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Electrolux microwave code -SE- points to key-short condition on the touch control. The display narrows the diagnostic path, but it does not prove which component should be replaced. Use the observed symptoms and the full model number to confirm the correct diagnostic path.
Read this display narrowly on the documented control platform: key-short condition on the touch control. If you also notice keys may beep continuously, compare that observation with stuck touch key before assuming moisture or residue on the keypad.
This code set is documented for Electrolux over-the-range microwave models E30MH65GPSA and E30MH65GSSA. Do not apply these meanings to another microwave platform without model confirmation.

Important safety warning. Stop if the microwave starts or changes settings without a deliberate command.

When to call a technician
A returning -SE- key-short code needs touch-panel or control-board service.
For a repeat -SE-, share the model and the behavior you saw, especially whether keys may beep continuously. Professional testing can then confirm or rule out stuck touch key.

You can try the safe external checks on this page and one power reset when appropriate. If the code returns, repeated resets are not a substitute for diagnosis.
Do not use the microwave if controls activate unpredictably. Disconnect power and arrange service.
