Samsung microwave would actuate the fan and rotating plate when the door was opened.

Phillips screwdriver and torx head screwdriver.

My Samsung microwave would start the fan and rotate the inside plate when the door was opened. Unplugged the microwave. Dismantled the faceplates to inspect the switches and one was broken. I could have replaced just the broken switch but purchasing the entire assembly made more sense to mitigate the failure of the other two switches. It was very simple to do. The faceplate had 3 screws, the digital panel has 2 screws and 2 torx head screws. Remove the existing assembly, unplug the wire connectors, plug in your new assembly, and replace inside the panel box. Be very careful when you replace the assembly inside as there are two plastic “hooks” that hold it in place but are quite fragile. Secure the assembly with the Torx screws. Plugin the microwave and test your new assembly. Once tested, put the faceplate back on.

Was an easy to access repair (watched a how-to video) and it fixed the problem.

Went online for troubleshooting, viewed several advisors, very good . The part did not solve the problem, but it was worth a try for only $15. ended up buying new microwave.
