Incident Overview

On February 1, 2026, a consumer reported that touching their Samsung induction range (model NE63B8611SS/AA) and the Samsung microwave above it at the same time resulted in a strong electrical shock. The incident occurred at home under normal use conditions. The consumer stated that the range was leaking 63 volts of alternating current (VAC) into its metal shell, and when the metal shell of the microwave was touched simultaneously, a shock resulted.

According to the CPSC report, the consumer identified the hazard as a design defect involving electrical shock. The severity was recorded as no first aid or medical attention received, indicating no immediate injury requiring treatment. The report did not mention any prior incidents or warnings. The consumer appears to have retained the product for investigation. The full report is available on SaferProducts.gov under Report ID 5878444.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: A 63 VAC leakage current on the range's metal shell poses a serious electrical shock risk. When a person simultaneously touches the energized range and a grounded object (like the microwave's metal shell), current can flow through the body, causing pain, muscle contractions, or even cardiac disruption in vulnerable individuals.

Long-Term Risks: Prolonged use of an appliance with a leakage current may lead to degradation of internal insulation, increasing the shock hazard over time. Continued exposure to stray voltage can also damage sensitive electronics in the home.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone in contact with the range and a grounded surface is at risk. Children, elderly individuals, or those with medical implants (e.g., pacemakers) are particularly vulnerable to electrical shocks of this magnitude.

Warning Signs: Consumers may notice a tingling sensation when touching the appliance, discoloration or arcing near metal parts, or tripping of GFCI outlets. Any of these signs indicate a potential leakage current and require immediate attention.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: Cease using the induction range and microwave until a qualified technician can inspect and repair the appliance. Unplug the range if possible, but avoid touching metal surfaces during disconnection.

Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not open or attempt to fix the appliance yourself. Electrical repairs should only be performed by certified professionals to avoid further risk.

Preserve the Product: Keep the range and microwave in their current state as evidence. Do not discard or modify them, as they may be needed for investigation or legal purposes.

Document the Incident: Take photographs of the appliance setup, note the date and time of the shock, and record any visible damage or unusual readings (e.g., if you have a multimeter). Save receipts and any communications with the retailer or manufacturer.

Contact the Manufacturer: Report the incident to Samsung Electronics America at their customer service line. Provide the model number and incident details. Request a formal response and inspection.

Report to the CPSC: File a detailed report on SaferProducts.gov if you experience a similar shock. Include the product model and any electrical measurements.
