I suspect a single correctly asked question on their facebook account would be far more effective, than a call to CS.

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?

Dave (NK7Z)
