 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.
