Samsung range not working

What to expect when you experience a Samsung range not working issue

How is the not working problem fixed?

Correcting most not working problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, igniter or surface element switch. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a range that is not working

When the range is not working it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of range failures.

What to look out for with a range not working diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your range problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Samsung Gas Stove Oven Not Working

When your Samsung gas stove oven is not working, check to see if the stove top burners are getting gas. If not, check the gas supply cut-off valve to make sure it’s open. Open that cut-off valve if you find it shut. That will restore the gas supply to the stove so the oven and surface burners will heat.

If the surface burners work, then a weak or failed igniter is the most likely cause of your Samsung gas stove oven not working. Remove the bottom panel of the oven so your can see the igniter. Start the oven in the bake mode and see if the igniter glows. If it glows but the bake burner doesn’t ignite, then you’ve likely isolated the failure to a weak igniter. Even though the igniter glows, it likely isn’t getting hot enough to trip the safety gas valve and light the burner. In this scenario, you’ll likely need to have a service technician replace the igniter.

If the igniter doesn’t glow, then a problem with the electronic control board could be causing the heating failure. Resetting the oven control board may clear up an internal logic problem in the circuit board so the oven will heat. To reset the control board, take these steps:

1. Unplug the stove or shut off the house circuit breaker for the stove to completely disconnect electrical power.
2. Leave the power off for 5 minutes.
3. Restore power to the stove and the oven control board will reboot and reset.

If the oven still won’t heat after resetting the control board, schedule oven repair service to have a Sears Home Services technician visit your home and fix the heating problem.

Troubleshooting for a Samsung Stove Oven Not Working

For an electric Samsung stove oven not working, check to see if the surface burners work. If the surface burners don’t work, reset the house circuit breakers for the stove. One of the 2 circuit breakers may have tripped. The stove won’t heat unless the range gets power through both house circuit breakers.

If the surface elements work, unplug the stove and check the bake element in the oven. Replace the bake element if it’s cracked or broken. Schedule oven repair service to have a Sears Home Services technician replace the bake element if you’re not completely confident that you can replace that part yourself.

For a gas Samsung stove oven not working, check to see if surface burners work. If not, check the gas supply cut-off valve. Open that valve fully if your find it shut. This will restore the gas supply to the stove so the oven and surface burners work.

If the surface burners work, a bad igniter is the most likely cause of the oven not heating. Schedule oven repair service and a Sears Home Services technician will visit your home and fix the stove.
