FX710BGS Samsung - Instructions

My barely 4 year old Samsung range/oven began not heating consistently. Even though it said 350, for example, we had to increase to 465 to get it to bake. Thought it was the temperature sensor. Ordered and installed new one easily. That didn't solve the problem. So, rather than throw more money at parts that may not have resolved the ... Read more issue, I got a new Amana range. Samsung appliances go to my 'do not buy' list along with LG!

The Samsung stove I have has had the igniter replaced several times. It seems to wear out over a couple years time. I did the repair with a Philips #2 screw driver.

Read more enter of the plate/lower heat shield. Unscrew the burner from the front and back of the oven. Carefully lift up the burner to expose the igniter and clip. Unscrew the igniter from the burner and set the burner aside. Unclip the igniter from the power cable. If it falls below, it won't go far just reach in a lift it back up to fasten the new igniter to the power clip. Refasten to the burner with new clips and screws provided. Re-insert the burner to the gas jet that is below the bottom plate which will not be visible to you unless you place your head towards the rear of the stove and look down. Once the Jet is back into the hole of the burner, re fasten it to the middle back and front of the stove. Replace the covers and grates. Close the oven and test it. A new igniter does wonders. You can remove the stove door for a less intrusive install, but I found it unnecessary to do so and saved a step and time. I was done well under 30 minutes.

ordered the temp sensor for a standard complaint, new sensor was the correct part ordered, however, once the old sensor was removed, I ohm'd the original and the new part. Both were 1080, checked wiring, checked gas burner, checked line voltage. Searched other part prices, found Samsung to be a not desirable product to own. This non repai ...

I wanted to return the part but she insisted I install it anyway and found the oven doing the same thing. She did not want to throw more money at a 4 year old range. Will use it as it is but will buy a cheap oven temp gauge. Samsung sucks.

First we unplugged the oven and shut off the gas. We then began removing the two plates on the floor, inside of the oven, to reveal the pipe with the dead heating element. You remove the screws from the back of the first plate, pop it out from the front, then remove the screws from the front of the second plate and pop it out from the bac ... Read more k.
The only issue we encountered was when we attempted to remove the two screws for the pipe: the front screw was stuck (possibly from old oil) and stripped easily. to fix that, we took a metal handsaw, and sawed a new cut into the screw to fit a flathead.
After dealing with the screw, we removed the pipe and unplugged the old heating element. We removed the bottom drawer for extra room to assist with unplugging the heating element, and for removing the pipe from the gas line.
We removed two screws with nuts that were attaching the element to the pipe, and replaced it with the new element.
after reattaching the element and placing the pipe back onto the line, before we placed the plates back, we turned the oven and gas back on to test if it was working. One successful test later, we placed the plates and bottom drawer back and we were done.

Use the thin blade screwdriver to release a tab holding the switch in place. Do not break this tab. Take the needle nose pliers and remove the switch. Put the wires on the new switch, open the door a short distance so a door lever moves enough to put the microswitch back into the bracket.

Just had to unscrew 2 screws to remove the old one and replace with the new one. Very easy

Took out oven racks and bottom steel plates, unscrewed old igniter and replaced with new one, only problem was plastic connections were different so I needed to strip wires and use wire nuts. Very easy fix that anyone could do..

This was a simple repair. Ater unplugging the oven from the outlet, and removing the oven racks, it was simply a matter of using a long handled Phillips screwdriver to remove the one screw holding the original heat sensor in place. It was not necessary to remove the oven door. There was no need to remove the existing heating element. ... Read more After the screw was removed, I removed the back cover of the oven (held together by several screws). Unplugging the existing sensor took a bit of time since it was difficult to press down on the clip to separate the wire from the connector. After releasing the sensor wire, it was simply a matter of feeding the old sensor wire back through the oven and removing it from the oven. The new sensor from this site was installed by reversing the removal procedure. It clipped into place easily. I reinstalled the back plate to the oven, connected the oven to the 220 outlet and was done. The oven heats perfectly.

Install handled by building engineer...thankfully. Did not take long for him, however, to install both sides of the drawer.
