Samsung Cooktop is producing a burning smell

A burning smell from your Samsung cooktop usually points to an electrical problem in the power circuit for the surface elements. Start with the range/stove/oven control board, whose relays send voltage to the heating components. A defective main control board or oven control board can also misdirect or interrupt power, creating an electrical burning smell from the stove. Next, check the surface element switch. If one burner is affected, compare it with another element of the same size. If the problem follows the switch, replace the switch because it cannot be repaired. A failed surface element board is another likely cause, especially when two or more burners develop problems at the same time. If only one surface element is involved, test it for continuity before condemning the board. Finally, inspect the element receptacle and wire kit for burned contacts, damaged wiring, or scorched element prongs. Turn off power before inspecting or replacing parts. Enter your Samsung cooktop model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.

01 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

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

04 - 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.

Highly Likely

05 - 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.

06 - Samsung Range/Stove/Oven Element Receptacle and Wire Kit

The surface element plugs onto a receptacle. Over time, the contacts in the receptacle can burn out. If the receptacle contacts burn out, the surface element will not receive power. To determine if the element receptacle has failed, inspect the receptacle contacts. If the contacts are visibly burnt or damaged, replace the element receptacle. In addition, examine the element prongs for signs of burning. If the prongs are burnt, replace both the element and element receptacle.
