If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced.

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 four winds at 1-219-266-1111.
