Most common repairs needed to fix a Samsung oven
Igniter Replacement
When an oven igniter is faulty, it can prevent a burner from igniting, resulting in no heat from the bake or broil burners in the oven. A failed igniter could also cause difficulty in lighting the burner, requiring multiple attempts to achieve ignition. The igniter may emit a clicking sound without successfully lighting the gas, indicating a malfunction. In some cases, the igniter may not produce any visible spark at all. An igniter failure can lead to delayed ignition, causing a noticeable delay between turning the knob and the burner lighting.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
An inoperative electronic control board can lead to various failures in an oven, including a lack of power or heating in the oven, or prevent the oven from turning off. This is because the board serves as the brain of the oven, controlling crucial operations such as regulating oven temperatures, running cooling fans, controlling cooking time and controlling the self-clean cycle of the oven. If the electronic control board malfunctions, it can disrupt communication between many different components. A failing board may prevent the oven door latch from engaging, or may cause a chattering or clicking noise from the oven or emit a burning odor. Due to the potential impact on multiple components, it is advisable to have a Sears Home Services professional conduct diagnostic tests on the board to confirm if replacement is necessary.
Control Panel Replacement
A defective oven control panel can produce various symptoms affecting the appliance's performance. The control panel may be unresponsive, failing to register inputs or adjust oven mode and temperature settings. The display might show erratic readings or become entirely blank. Additionally, a malfunctioning control panel could lead to issues with the ovens heating, resulting in uneven cooking, failure to reach the desired temperature or the inability to heat at all.

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your oven 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 Oven Won’t Heat Up
When you have a gas Samsung oven that won’t heat up, check the gas supply cut-off valve to make sure that valve is fully open. Open that valve if you find it shut. This will likely restore heating to your gas Samsung oven.
If none of your gas appliances work in your home, contact your gas supply to report the outage and restore the gas supply to your house.
If you have an electric Samsung oven that won’t heat up, check the house circuit breakers for the oven. Reset the house circuit breakers if you find them tripped. The oven will heat when proper electrical power is restored.
Resetting the electronic control board in the oven will sometimes restore heating. Follow these steps to reset the control board:
- Unplug the oven power cord or shut off the house circuit breaker for the oven to completely disconnect electrical power.
- Leave oven power off for 5 minutes.
- Plug the oven power cord back in or reset the house circuit breaker for the oven to restore electrical power.
The oven control board will reboot and reset when you restore electrical power. The control board may begin working properly so the oven will heat. If not, schedule oven repair service and we’ll send a Sears Home Services technician to your home to fix the problem.
Samsung Oven Won’t Heat – Troubleshooting Tips from the Pros at Sears Home Services
If you have an electric Samsung oven that won’t heat, check the house circuit breakers for oven. The oven will power up if one of the circuit breakers tripped but the other one didn’t. Reset both circuit breakers for your electric oven. The oven may heat properly after resetting the circuit breakers.
If your electric Samsung oven won’t heat after resetting the house circuit breakers, disconnect power again and check the bake element for visible damage. Have a service technician replace the bake element if it’s cracked or broken.
If you have a gas Samsung oven that won’t heat, check the gas supply cut-off valve. Open that valve completely if you find it shut. Check to see if the oven heats after opening the gas supply cut-off valve.
If the oven won’t heat after opening the gas supply cut-off valve for your Samsung oven, check the other gas appliances in your home. If no appliances in your home are getting gas, call your gas supplier to have them restore the gas supply to your house.
Sometimes, resetting the electronic control board in a gas or electric oven will restore heating. Follow these steps to reset the electronic control board in your Samsung oven:
- Unplug the oven or shut off the house circuit breaker for the oven to completely disconnect electrical power from the appliance.
- Leave power disconnected for 5 minutes.
- Restore power to the oven by resetting the house circuit breaker or plug back in the oven power cord.
The control board will reboot and reset when you restore power to the oven. The control board may begin working properly again and the oven may heat. If not, schedule oven repair service to have a repair technician fix the heating problem in your Samsung oven.
