Most common repairs needed to fix a Samsung range
Electronic Control Board Replacement
An inoperative electronic control board can lead to various failures in a range, including a lack of power or heating in the oven or surface element, or prevent the oven from turning off. 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 electronic control board malfunctions, 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.
Control Panel Replacement
When a range control panel is inoperative, there may be a complete lack of response or display on the control panel, rendering it unresponsive to input. 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.
Power Supply Replacement
If the power supply board is dead, the range will not power up. This is because the power supply in a range connects the incoming power from the cord to the components inside. It also sends power from the control board to the oven. A defective power supply may interfere with the display on the control panel, and fail to protect the range from power surges, potentially causing damage to electronic components like the main control board. If your range is not powering up, have a Sears Home Services professional inspect it and replace the power supply board if necessary.
Why is the display not working on my Samsung stove?
When the display isn’t working on your Samsung range, a power supply failure, bad electronic control board, faulty control panel or wiring failure could be causing the problem.
Check for electrical power going to the range
Make sure that the stove power cord is securely plugged into its electrical outlet.
Reset the house circuit breaker for the range.
If the display still won’t light up on a gas range, plug a nightlight or small electrical item into the stove’s electrical outlet to see if the outlet has power.
If the electrical outlet is dead and the circuit breaker isn’t tripped, have an electrician repair the stove’s electrical outlet.
Reset the electrical control board
Sometimes, a power surge through the electrical supply lines will corrupt the operation of the electronic control board and cause the display to go blank.
Resetting the electronic control board will sometimes restore normal operation to the range.
Follow these steps to reset the electronic control board:
- Unplug the range or shut off the house circuit breaker to completely disconnect electrical power to the appliance.
- Leave power off for 2 minutes.
- Reset the circuit breaker or plug the range power cord back in to restore power.
The electronic control board will reboot and reset. The display may light up and the store may operate normally.
Unplug the range and check control board wiring connections
Loose wiring connections can cause the range display to go blank.
Unplug the range and remove the back control console panel to access and check control board wiring connections.
Here’s a video that shows how to access the electronic control board in a range:
Reconnect any loose wiring or repair any damaged wiring.
If the wiring connections are okay, you’ll likely need to schedule range repair service to have a Sears Home Services technician visit your home and fix the stove.
What to expect when you experience a Samsung range display not working issue
How is the display not working problem fixed?
Correcting most display not working problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, control panel or power supply. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.
Sears Home Services recommendations for a range display that is not working
When the range display is not working it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of range failures.
What to look out for with a range display not working diagnosis
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.
