What does Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working - Causes & Fix mean?

Usually a burned-out broil element. Check for visible damage, then test for 240 VAC at the element terminals when broil is selected.

How do I fix Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working - Causes & Fix?

Follow the step-by-step diagnosis below. The most likely fix is identified by checking power, sensor resistance, and control-board signals in order — using a multimeter and the part numbers documented in the parts reference table.

Can I keep running the equipment with this fault active?

Generally no. Faults on Appliance units are emitted when a sensor, safety, or control circuit is outside its operating envelope. Running through an active fault risks compressor, heater, or control-board damage. Diagnose and clear the fault first.

What part is most commonly replaced for Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working - Causes & Fix?

The most frequently replaced parts for Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working - Causes & Fix are listed in the Parts Reference section of this guide with OEM part numbers and typical price ranges. Check the table for direct replacements.

Is Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working - Causes & Fix a DIY repair or do I need a technician?

Sensor swaps, fan motor replacements, and condenser cleaning are typical DIY-level repairs. Anything involving refrigerant, gas, or high-voltage (>240V) work requires a licensed technician for both safety and code-compliance reasons.

Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working - Causes & Fix

Samsung Oven Broiler Not Working — What’s Happening

When your Samsung oven broiler is not working, the oven is receiving the broil command but the broil element is not producing heat. In electric models, this means the broil circuit is not completing or the element itself has failed. A healthy broil element should glow red hot within a minute or two of selecting broil.

The symptom is not a unique fault code. Instead, it is a heating failure that points to one of three areas: the broil element has burned out and become open-circuit, the supply wiring or terminals feeding the element are damaged or disconnected, or the control board is not sending 240 VAC to the element when broil is selected.

Jump to Fix

Most Likely Causes

Failed broil element The element burns out or becomes open-circuit internally, preventing it from glowing red hot even when voltage is applied.
Burned or broken supply wiring The wires feeding the broil element can burn out or break, especially near the element where heat is highest.
Damaged terminals or spade connectors Loose, oxidized, or heat-damaged connections at the element terminals interrupt current flow and prevent heating.
Control board not sending voltage If the element receives no voltage when broil is selected, the control board, relay, or associated wiring has failed.
Incorrect element resistance An element that measures open (infinite resistance) or significantly out of the typical 10 to 50 ohm range is considered defective.

How to Diagnose and Fix

Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before any access or testing.
Access the broil element (usually inside the top of the oven cavity or at the rear) and visually inspect for obvious damage, burned terminals, or discolored wiring.
Set the oven to broil and use a multimeter to check for 240 VAC across the two broil element terminals.
If voltage is present but the element does not heat, disconnect power again and test the element for continuity and resistance (typical range is roughly 10 to 50 ohms).
If the element is open or out of range, replace the broil element.
If voltage is missing at the element, inspect the wiring harness, spade connectors, and control board output path for burns, breaks, or loose connections.
Repair any damaged wiring or replace the control board if it is not sending voltage to the element.
Reassemble, restore power, and verify the broil element glows red and heats properly on broil.

When to Call a Pro

Call a pro if you are not comfortable working with 240 VAC, if you cannot access the broil element safely, or if voltage testing and wiring inspection are beyond your skill level. Also call a technician if you have replaced the element and wiring but the broiler still does not work, since that points to a control board or deeper electrical fault that requires specialized diagnosis and parts. For gas line, burner, or igniter work, or if you ever smell gas, stop and call a licensed technician.
