Samsung Range is producing a burning smell

A burning smell from your Samsung range can come from a failed temperature control thermostat, defective control board, main control board, oven control board, bake element, or broil element. The thermostat is the most likely cause listed for this symptom. If it fails, it can affect broiler operation and should be replaced rather than repaired. Next, inspect the control board and its relays. A failed relay may send incorrect voltage to the bake or broil circuits, causing an electrical burning smell from the stove or oven and preventing the heating components from operating correctly. A shorted bake element is also common. Look for holes, blisters, or visible damage, then use a multimeter to test for continuity. Check the broil element the same way, including testing for continuity between its terminals and outer case. If either element is shorted or lacks proper continuity, replace it. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing electrical parts. Enter your Samsung range model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, main control board, oven control board, bake element, or broil element for your appliance.

01 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat

The temperature control thermostat regulates the broiler temperature. If the thermostat is defective, it may fail to heat the broiler element. The oven thermostat is not repairable—if the thermostat is defective, you must replace it.

02 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
Highly Likely

03 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
Highly Likely

04 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
Highly Likely

05 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

Sometimes, if the heating element burns out, it can short out to the inside of the oven. Often, if the bake element has shorted out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has shorted out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
Highly Likely

06 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element

If the broil element is shorted out. Often, if the element has shorted out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element is shorted out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element shows continuity from the terminals to the outer case, this indicates that it is shorted out. If the broil element is shorted out, replace it.
Highly Likely
