Our 2003 coleman caravan rv almost burned up on october 31, 2010 because of the refrigerator. I heard a sizzling sound and took back off refrigerator, it was very hot. I turned the gas off and unhooked battery. I contacted dometic to let them know that the recall did not fix ours and was told it was up to me to fix that there was nothing more they would do. Thank god I checked our camper or it probably would have burnt up.

Recall number 07V081000 · Recall details
Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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 fleetwood at 1‑800‑629‑8454.
