Hi,
Good for you, I am one of the folks that suggested taking it back,
etc... The best course is by far to get Samsung to correct the issue.
I think you are smart to push this as you are!
If it were me, and I you, and if I ever chose to try and correct the
issue, I would start with the power cord. I would also remember that
anything I do, extends my liability in all of this should an insurance
claim come to pass.

Hi Dave,
I have not tried any of what I consider bandaids to resolve the issue. Yes, I can probably
kludge together some sort of solution but Paul (@ ARRL) brought up another good point which
is this: what if you are triggering the same behavior at a neighbor’s house and do not
know it? The point being that yes, I can probably mitigate the issue at my QTH but the
problem is larger than me-it is a fire hazard and a potentially deadly problem. What if that
neighbor goes on vacation and I accidentally turn the oven on and burn HER house down while
she is off in the Bahamas or somewhere nice…
I am more interested in getting someone at Samsung to listen earnestly to the
issue and perhaps contact me to work with them on the issue which I am totally
willing to do! I may sound a little like a gadfly about the issue but for me it
is just as much about safety as it is my ability to enjoy the hobby.
I have written to the CEO of Samsung from a web for submission. I have scoured
their website for w snail mail address but I was unsuccessful in finding one.
We just remodeled this house and have sunk a sizable amount of money into the
appliances and I am really not excited at the prospect of having to replace this very
expensive (to me) oven that should not have the issue. I bought the oven back in
August or July of 2019. It sat in the box until it was ready to be installed and we
did not start using it until we moved in at the end of January. I am way beyond
Lowe’s return period on this.
I will continue to update this list and the thread as I get more information as
well as with any communication with Samsung directly.

Randy,
I have lost track of what you have tried... Have you run the power cord
of this device through an FT240-31 ferrite, with 6 or 7 turns of power
cable through the cores?
