What's wrong?
The Suburban cooktop in the 2022 Newmar Bay Star is a slide in range with LED backlighted control knobs. A small printed circuit board powers those lights, so the knobs stay visible while the range is installed in the motorhome. That board is separate from the cooking surface, but it sits inside the range assembly and depends on its protective coating to keep moisture and contamination away from the circuit.
On the affected ranges, the LED backlight board was not fully sealed with conformal coating. Conformal coating is a protective layer over the circuit board. Without enough coating, contamination can reach the board and create an electrical failure. The board can then overheat.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a smell, flicker, or visible damage to appear before the LED backlight circuit overheats.
