A Samsung range in North Canton stopped lighting its oven while the stovetop burners worked fine. We found the bake igniter had failed — a common issue on this model that prevents the gas valve from opening.
The Problem
The customer reported that their oven wouldn’t light or heat, though all four stovetop burners functioned normally. When they selected bake mode and set a temperature, nothing happened — no glow, no ignition, no heat.
Diagnosis
Testing the bake cycle revealed the igniter wasn’t drawing sufficient amperage to signal the gas valve to open. The igniter showed no visible glow and measured well below the threshold needed for proper operation. This failure pattern is typical for Samsung ranges around the 5-7 year mark, where the igniter’s resistance gradually increases until it can no longer pull enough current.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 12400035 — bake igniter assembly
- Work performed: Removed oven racks and bottom panel, disconnected failed igniter, installed new igniter with proper positioning
- Result: Oven now ignites within 60 seconds and preheats to set temperature normally
Is It Worth Repairing?
For this Samsung NX58H5650WS model, absolutely. These ranges typically last 12-15 years with proper maintenance, and igniter replacement is straightforward. The gas cooking surface and convection features make this model worth keeping in service rather than replacing prematurely.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Gas Ranges
- Keep the igniter area clean — food spills and grease buildup can cause premature failure on Samsung models
- Avoid using the oven door as a shelf, which can stress the igniter mounting bracket
- If you notice slower ignition times or weak orange glow instead of bright white, schedule service before complete failure
