Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20150824-6B7C8-2147429043. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Model SM-T230NU. Source model text: SMH9187ST. Incident: This morning, my Samsung microwave oven (model SMH9187ST) started on it's own three times without anyone's presence in the kitchen. I cannot confirm that it wasn't doing this while we slept. Initially the Stop/Clear button worked to turn it off, but the third time that did not work and the door had to be opened to stop the cooking cycle. It was started in the Popcorn mode each time (a function that we do not use). Shortly after the third ghost start the microwave display showed "-- 5E --" (or SE) and no buttons on the unit would function. Concerned about this continuing without anyone home and/or causing a fire hazard, the unit is now unplugged.
