Samsung Electric stove burner not working

Is your Samsung electric stove burner not working? The problem is usually the surface element switch, surface element board, incoming power, coil surface element, or radiant surface element. Start by checking whether the range receives the required 220 volts, since low incoming voltage can keep a burner from heating. If one burner is not working, swap it with another element of the same size. If the problem follows the element, inspect the coil or radiant element for damage and use a multimeter to check continuity. A failed element must be replaced. If the element works in another position, the surface element switch may be defective. When two or more burners fail at the same time, a relay on the surface element board is a more likely cause. the surface element switch listed for some Samsung models may also be involved, although it is not the usual cause of one electric burner failure. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Samsung range model number to find the exact replacement surface element switch, surface element board, coil or radiant surface element, or radiant element for your appliance.

02 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch

The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. If the switch is defective, the surface element will not work. If there is another element of the same size on the stove, try switching the elements. If the surface element still doesn’t work, the surface element switch is likely defective. The surface element switch cannot be tested or repaired—if you suspect the switch is defective, replace it.

03 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board

The surface element board has relays that regulate the power supply to the burners. If one or more of the relays fails, the surface element won’t work. If two or more burners fail at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element won’t work, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the surface element has continuity, the surface element board might be defective.

04 - Incoming Power Problem

It is possible that the range is not receiving proper voltage. Electric ranges require 220 volts of alternating current. If the range is receiving significantly less voltage, the surface element won’t work. To determine if the electrical outlet has sufficient voltage, use a multimeter to test the incoming power at the wall socket.

05 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Coil Surface Element

First, make sure that the element is pushed all the way into the socket. Second, inspect the surface element for damage. If the element appears to be damaged, replace it. Lastly, use a multimeter to test the surface element for continuity. If the surface element does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Radiant Surface Element

The most common cause when the surface element won't work is the radiant surface element itself. The radiant surface element - or heating element - can burn out similar to a light bulb. If the surface element won't work and it doesn't have continuity, it will need to be replaced. The radiant surface element is not repairable.
