Most common repairs needed to fix a Samsung range
Control Panel Replacement
When a range control panel is inoperative, there may be a complete lack of response when you press the buttons, or a lack of display on the control panel. This can include the inability to set cooking temperatures, use cooking modes, or activate various features such as timers or lights. In some cases, a malfunctioning control panel may display error codes or flickering lights. A failing control panel may emit unusual noises such as clicking or chattering. The failure of the control panel can disrupt communication with other components, affecting the overall operation of the range.
PCB Replacement
A malfunctioning printed circuit board (PCB) can lead to various failures in a range, including a lack of response when activating control buttons, a lack of power or heating in the oven or surface elements. This is because the board serves as the brain of the range, controlling crucial operations such as regulating oven temperatures, running cooling fans, and controlling cooking time. If the PCB fails, it can disrupt communication between many different components. A failing board may cause a chattering or clicking noise from the range and may 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.
Relay Control Board Replacement
If the relay control board is dead, the range may not power up or respond to control panel input. A defective relay control board may also interfere with the display on the control panel. If your range's control panel won't respond, have a Sears Home Services professional diagnose the problem for you.

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.
