I've seen it mentioned here before, but I'd think this would be something that
Consumer Reports would be interested in. From their web site , www.cr.org,
under the "Contact Us" at the bottom:
How do I suggest an article/report?
You can use any of our contact methods to suggest a product to test or a
subject to write about. We love getting suggestions, as well as hearing your
experiences as a consumer. Everything we receive is reviewed and made available
to our Editorial staff.
Also suggested here before is contacting the United States Consumer Products
Safety Commission, www.cpsc.gov

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.
