1.0 out of 5 stars DANGER!!!!!, August 19, 2003

This review is from: SAMSUNG MW830WA Compact Microwave Oven (Kitchen)

This microwave worked fine for a little while. Then, about three months after we purchased it there was a huge problem. We came home after being out all day and smelled something burning. The microwave was beeping incessantly, and was red hot. We unplugged the piece of (junk) immediately, and threw it away. God only knows what could have happened if we'd been gone any longer. We weren't even using it. It just started burning on its own.

1.0 out of 5 stars Same model sold as GE JES831WF001, September 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: SAMSUNG MW830WA Compact Microwave Oven (Kitchen)

I have had the same problems as the previous reviwer. GE sells the same "Samsung" model as "GE" JES831WF001.

Just before the 1 year warranty ran out GE kept on sending letters offering an extended warranty for $45 or so - close to the price of a new one. Right after 1 year and 1 month the troubles started.

We also had the beeping sound and it turning "ON" by itself and running for 4 minutes when ever it felt like it. (Our electricity charges went up way high).
Now it works some times, beeps most other times. It also gives an error code -F3- = key pad shorted out.
The controller unit is sold at $55. Not even worth fixing it. So hoping to send it to the land fill and no more "GE" for our family and friends.

Anyways, I opened it today to check out the key pad. All the parts inside were labeled as "Samsung" (I wish I bought a Japanese brand and not GE.). ***Word of advice to other -please do not open the microwave ovens unless you are qualified to fix them. Even when the power is out there are Capacitors that may have enough charge to hurt you real bad. And then there is the microwave leaks that can cause so many bad things. ***

This review is from: SAMSUNG MW830WA Compact Microwave Oven (Kitchen)

This oven (I actually have the GE model, same as the Samsung but branded differently) has been trouble-free for almost five years now.

Still works like the day I bought it. Smells a little worse, but that's because my wife doesn't cover her bacon enough and the grease has permeated the unit.

The unit is a bit on the small side, but I've never not been able to fit what I want to cook or heat into it.
