When your Samsung gas stove burner is not heating properly, the most likely cause is a damaged or stripped control knob that cannot turn the burner valve correctly. Inspect the knob for cracks, wear, or a loose fit, and replace it if the flame does not change from low to high as you turn it. If the knob is working but the flame remains weak or unchanged, the surface burner valve may have a loose or damaged stem and may need replacement. A burner cap that is misplaced, warped, or damaged can also prevent the gas flame from distributing heat evenly, so make sure it sits correctly on the burner base after the stovetop has cooled. Finally, use cookware that matches the burner size. A pan that is too large or too small can make a gas burner seem like it is not heating properly. Enter your Samsung range model number to find the exact control knob, surface burner valve, or burner cap replacement part for your appliance.

If a burner flame is not changing as expected when the burner valve control knob is turned from low to high, it's possible the knob is stripped out or damaged and unable to rotate the valve stem. Inspect the knob for any cracks or wear and replace if necessary.

If a burner flame is not changing as expected when the surface burner valve control knob is turned from low to high, it's possible the burner valve stem is damaged and not actuating the valve appropriately. If the valve stem appears loose or wiggles you should replace the surface burner valve.
Since burner caps help distribute the gas evenly around the burner, a burner cap that is not positioned correctly on the burner base can cause the burner not to heat properly. Confirm the appliance is turned off and the stovetop is cool to the touch, then readjust the burner cap, if necessary, so it is seated properly on the burner base. If the cap is damaged or warped, the flame can be higher on one side than the other. Inspect the burner cap for damage; a damaged burner cap will likely need to be replaced.
