Microwaves are a fast and easy way to get food ready to eat at the push of a button. But we found dozens are firing up without the push of a button, creating a kitchen fire hazard.

Samsung products are notorious for having numerous issues with their appliances. Appliances aren’t made like they used to be. I’ll never purchase Samsung products after reading all the reviews.

We had a travel trailer plugged in, in our yard. We happened to be in the yard and heard something running in there. It was our samsung microwave that started by itself. It was just getting hot when we found it. It was less than a year old.

I had a microwave that caught on fire. The fire was in the wiring in the machine so I couldn't put it out in the house. I had to carry a burning microwave outside and drop it on the ground. I used a fire extinguisher and hose to put it out.

Omg! I just saw this video this morning!! My Sharp which is only a year and a half old yesterday evening started by itself while I was in the kitchen. It's a good thing I was home. I immediately unplugged it! No smoke or anything though was coming out. I rent an apartment so will be calling management to come get it.

I thought mine was doing that too, the fan would come on and I couldn't shut it off. It turns out its a safety feature when the the stove below gets too hot, the microwave turned itself on, fan only, I thought it was broken because I've never seen that before.

Slamming the doors causing this is nonsense! It is a software glitch, which likely is caused by a defective circuit board. 90 units out of the hundreds of millions of units is inconsequential. Surprised Samsung didn't simply give her another one. I will NOT buy a Samsung microwave! Stick with USA brands like GE, Westinghouse, Honeywell, etc.

I don't eat meat anymore but when I used to I bit into a taco bell beef taco and broke my tooth. I bit into a piece of bone from a cow. I was told by taco bell, that to my satisfaction they would pay for my tooth... it was 100% their fault and they just don't like to admit from of fault. BTW if you eat any beef or animals, the fda allows any part of that animal to be grinded up as ground meat and you eat it. That bones, tissues, eyes, skin, cancer, tumors. They allow it all to be grinded as long as it will fit through a specific size hole in a grinder. Companies these days are cutting every corner they can and it shows in their products

All microwaves use door switches. If one goes bad, weird things happen like the machine turning on by itself as soon as you close the door. Luckily switches are $5 each at most. Just replace all 3 switches and everything will be fine.

Oh also I have never ever “slammed” the door… & we had it replaced as a brand new item when we moved in… 🤔 I never told maintenance maybe I should *that tip regarding a bowl of water is a great idea gonna use it too 😉 🙏🏼

Anything electrical emits radiation.... the breaker box emits radiation... the wires to your house emit radiation... your phone against your head is less safe than all of those things. We can't escape all of these things. Oh and breast cancer is usually in one breast instead of other bc most people sleep on a certain side and springs in mattress carry or amplify signal... radiation is everywhere and it's usually safe... the sun is creating radiation, too.
