DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE

Posted on: 2003-11-20
Description
On certain travel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these ovens were produced with a defective panel.  An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a jumper or jump wire.  This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.  

Consequence
An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.  This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.  

Corrective Action
Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge.  In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible.  If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced.  Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800-932-3837 or keystone at 574-535-2100.
