Unknown or Other

ODI #11267298

Incident: October 2, 2019 · Filed: October 9, 2019

MICROWAVE/CONVECTION OVEN COULD CAUSE A POSSIBLE FIRE. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE WHEN USING THE CONVECTION OVEN, I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. WE STARTED HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE UNIT WHERE IT WOULDN'T TURN ON PROPERLY. FURRION COMPANY SAID IT COULD BE A FAULTY DOOR SWITCH. WE DECIDED TO REPLACE THE OVEN AND WHEN IT WAS TAKEN OUT, BEHIND THE UNIT WERE BURN MARKS. IT HAD BURNED THE WALLPAPER AND SCORCHED THE WOOD. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE IN THE RV UNIT. WE INSTALLED A PIECE OF SHEET METAL ON THE NEW MICROWAVE SO THAT THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
