Samsung Range Burner Problems
Are you dealing with a Samsung Range Burner not working? Don’t fret; we can help! There are several reasons why your Samsung range burner won’t light, and we will discuss the most common reasons in this post.
Why Is My Samsung Gas Range Burner Not Working?
When your range burner won’t ignite, it can seem like a major problem. Our guide explains easy steps for troubleshooting (and hopefully resolving) the issue quickly.
Check For Power Issues
If your Samsung range burner won’t work, the first step is to check for power issues. Make sure that your Samsung range is plugged into an outlet and that the outlet is working.
If no power is present, there might be an issue with the fuse or circuit breaker. Check your fuse box or circuit breaker panel to see if any of the fuses or breakers have been tripped. If they have, reset them and try turning on your Samsung range burner again.
Check For Moisture In The Burner
Have you cleaned your range top recently or boiled over a pot of water? If so, the burner won’t light issue may have been caused by moisture. If there is too much moisture in the burner, it will not ignite.
To check for moisture in the burner, remove the grate and use a q-tip and dry rag to clean the holes around the edge of the burner. If any water comes out, you will need to dry the burner off before trying to ignite it.
You can try using a hairdryer on high heat to dry the burner off, or you can wait until it dries on its own. Once the burner is dry, put the grate back in place and try igniting your Samsung range again.
Check For Food Debris In The Burner
No moisture found? Be sure to also check for food debris. Food debris can cause your Samsung range burner to not ignite.
To check for food debris, remove the grate from the Samsung range burner and use a toothpick or paper clip to poke into each of the holes around the edge of the burner. If you find any food debris, clean it out using a toothbrush or q-tip. Once the burner is clean, put the grate back in place and try igniting your Samsung range again.
Check For Loose Or Burnt Wire Connections
Finally, prior to troubleshooting part failures, double-check that there are no loose or burnt wire connections to the Samsung range burner. If you find any, reattach them and try igniting your Samsung gas range again.
If all of these troubleshooting tips don’t work, it might be time to call in a professional. But before you do that, let’s review some of the common part malfunctions that lead to the repair complaint: Samsung gas range burner won’t light.
Common Part Failures For Samsung Range Burner Won’t Light
If you’ve checked all the common solutions, now it’s time to consider the possibility of a faulty Samsung range part. Here are the most common Samsung range parts that cause ignition failure:
- Faulty Spark Module: If your Samsung range spark module has failed, it will prevent the Samsung range burner from lighting. The spark module is responsible for creating a spark that ignites the gas in the Samsung range burner.
- Faulty Spark Ignition Switch: If the spark ignition switch fails, the Samsung range burner will not light. The spark ignition switch is responsible for supplying power to the spark module.
- Faulty Gas Valve: If the gas valve fails, it won’t allow any gas to flow to the Samsung range burner, preventing it from lighting.
- Faulty Spark Electrode: The spark electrode is responsible for creating the spark that lights the Samsung range burner. If it fails, the Samsung range burner will not light.

Samsung Range Temperature Not Accurate
If you’ve noticed that your dishes are not cooking evenly or the desired temperature isn’t being reached, you may be dealing with a temperature inaccuracy issue. In this guide, we’ll explore the common causes behind temperature inaccuracies in Samsung ranges and provide DIY solutions to help you address these issues.
1. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element
When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
2. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Control Board
An oven’s control board will often be used to send voltage to the bake and broil elements or the igniters to heat the oven to the designated temperature. When a temperature sensor senses that the oven has reached the appropriate temperature, the control board should shut off the voltage to the heating circuit. If the control board is defective, the voltage may be shut off too early or not at all, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. You should test the temperature sensor and other components first before considering replacing the control board. If you confirm the other components are working properly, you can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the bake or broil elements or igniters after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram.
3. Oven calibration needed
The first thing to consider is that oven temperature will fluctuate throughout the cooking process. This is normal. To verify oven temperature, it is best to use a digital thermometer with the wire lead end touching a cast iron skillet to keep the temperature reading even. You can use a dial thermometer, but they are slow to react and are not as accurate as a digital one. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the oven cycle on and off for at least 20 minutes. Check the temperature. If the oven temperature is over or under by 35 degrees Fahrenheit the oven thermostat, oven sensor, or oven control (depending on the model), is likely bad. If the temperature is within 35 degrees above or below the set temperature, it can likely be recalibrated succcessfully. Refer to your owner’s manual.
4. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Igniter
The igniter draws electrical current through the gas valve to open it. As the igniter weakens over time, it takes longer to open the gas valve. As a result, the oven temperature will drop too low before the burner reignites. The oven temperature should not drop more than 40 degrees Fahrenheit before the igniter relights the burner.
5. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element
The broil element may have burned out. When the broil element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element does not have continuity, replace it.
6. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board
A range’s main control board will often be used to send voltage to the bake and broil elements or the igniters to heat the oven to the designated temperature. When a temperature sensor senses that the oven has reached the appropriate temperature, the control board should shut off the voltage to the heating circuit. If the control board is defective, the voltage may be shut off too early or not at all, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. You should test the temperature sensor and other components first before considering replacing the control board. If you confirm the other components are working properly, you can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the bake or broil elements or igniters after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram.
7. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat
The temperature control thermostat monitors the temperature inside the oven and cycles on the heat when the oven temperature gets too low. If the temperature control thermostat is not calibrated correctly, it won’t cycle on the heat at the proper time. As a result, the oven temperature might be too high or too low. Due to its complexity, the thermostat is very difficult to test.
8. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Sensor
The oven sensor works in conjunction with the oven control board to regulate the temperature. The sensor regulates the oven temperature by varying its resistance to electrical current as the oven temperature varies. As the oven temperature rises, the oven sensor creates greater resistance. If the sensor gives the wrong amount of resistance, the oven may not bake evenly. On some models, you can recalibrate the oven control up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit higher or lower. Refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on how to recalibrate the oven control.
9. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
The oven control board works in conjunction with the oven sensor to regulate the temperature. The sensor regulates the oven temperature by varying its resistance to electrical current as the oven temperature varies. As the oven temperature rises, the oven sensor creates greater resistance. If the sensor gives the wrong amount of resistance, the oven may not bake evenly. Or if the oven control board does not read the sensor resistance correctly, the oven temperature may be inaccurate. On some models, you can recalibrate the oven control up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit higher or lower. Refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on how to recalibrate the oven control.
10. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Convection Element
In a convection oven, the convection element works with the other heating elements to heat the air circulating inside the oven. If the convection element is burned out, the oven won’t heat evenly. To determine if the convection element is burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the convection element does not have continuity, replace it.
11. Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Convection Motor
In a convection oven, the convection motor drives the convection fan to circulate the air inside the oven. If the convection fan isn’t circulating the air, the oven won’t bake evenly. Try turning the convection fan blade by hand. If the blade is hard to turn, this may indicate that the motor bearings are worn. If the motor bearings are worn, you will have to replace the convection motor. To determine if the motor is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the motor does not have continuity, replace it.
