How do I know if my Samsung oven igniter is bad?
On your Samsung NX58M5600SW gas freestanding range, a bad oven igniter usually shows up as an oven that will not heat or takes a long time to light. Commonly, the igniter glows but the bake burner does not ignite within about 90 seconds, or the igniter does not glow at all.
Quick signs the igniter is failing
- Igniter glows weakly (dull orange) and the burner lights very late or not at all
- Oven preheats much slower than normal
- Burner never lights even though you can see the igniter glowing
- You hear control clicks, but there is no steady burner flame
- Baking is uneven because the burner cycles incorrectly
Safe checks we recommend before replacing parts
- Cancel the bake cycle and let the oven cool.
- Confirm the range has power (the igniter needs electricity to heat).
- Try Bake again and watch through the oven window: you should typically see the igniter glow first, then the burner flame.
- If the igniter glows but the burner does not light promptly, the igniter is the most common cause.
What is happening mechanically (why it fails)
A hot-surface igniter has to draw enough electrical current to allow the oven gas valve to open. When the igniter gets weak with age, it can still glow but not pull enough current, so gas flow never starts and the burner will not ignite.
Parts that commonly fix “won’t heat” on this model
| Symptom | Most likely part | Example part on this page |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter does not glow | Oven burner igniter | Samsung range oven burner igniter DG94-00520A |
| Igniter glows, no flame or very delayed flame | Oven burner igniter (weak) | Samsung range oven burner igniter DG94-00520A |
| Surface burners click but do not spark correctly | Spark system issue | Range spark module DG96-00297A |
Why it matters
A weak igniter can prevent the oven from reaching temperature, cause long preheat times, and lead to undercooked food. Replacing the igniter restores normal ignition timing and steadier temperature control.
For model-specific operating and troubleshooting guidance, we follow the steps in the NX58M5600SW owner's manual. If you need to order parts beyond the ones listed here, we also stock a wide selection by model number at Sears PartsDirect.

Why does my Samsung stove smell like gas?
If your Samsung NX58M5600SW gas freestanding range smells like gas, treat it as a potential gas leak first: turn all burner knobs to OFF, avoid flames or sparks, and ventilate the area. A common appliance-related cause is a burner that is not igniting promptly, which can let unburned gas escape.
What to do right away (safety first)
- Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
- Do not light matches, use lighters, or operate electrical switches.
- Open windows and doors to ventilate.
- If the odor is strong or persistent, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” steps in the NX58M5600SW owner's manual.
Most common range-related causes
When the smell seems to happen only during cooking or ignition, these are typical culprits:
- Surface burner not igniting quickly (wet/dirty igniter area, misaligned burner cap, clogged ports).
- Weak or inconsistent spark/ignition (can point to an ignition circuit issue).
- Oven burner delayed ignition (gas flows before ignition fully lights).
- A burner valve not fully closing (knob is OFF but gas still seeps).
Quick checks you can do (no tools)
- Confirm every knob is fully seated at OFF.
- Remove grates and burner caps; clean and dry the burner head and ports.
- Re-seat the burner cap so it sits flat and centered.
- Try lighting one burner at a time; note if one burner clicks longer or lights late.
Parts that often fix delayed ignition or gas odor
If cleaning and re-seating do not help, these model-specific parts are commonly involved:
| Symptom | Likely part area | Example part for NX58M5600SW |
|---|---|---|
| Burner clicks but lights late | Surface ignition | Range surface burner igniter DG94-00541A |
| Multiple burners act odd, weak sparking | Ignition control | Range spark module DG96-00297A |
| Oven takes long to light, “whoosh” start | Oven ignition | Samsung range oven burner igniter DG94-00520A |
| Smell near a specific knob, valve feels loose | Gas control | Samsung range surface burner valve DG94-00932C |
Why it matters
A gas odor can indicate unburned fuel in the air. Even if the range still works, delayed ignition and leaking valves can create unsafe conditions and should be addressed immediately.

Why is my gas stove not getting gas?
If your Samsung NX58M5600SW gas freestanding range is not getting gas, the most common causes are a closed gas shutoff, the gas pressure regulator shutoff switch being OFF, or a supply connection issue. Start with the shutoff and regulator checks, then inspect burner parts for clogs.
Safety first (before troubleshooting)
If you smell gas, treat it as a leak: close the gas valve, do not use the range, avoid switches or flames, clear the area, and contact your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. The NX58M5600SW owner's manual covers these gas warnings and safe leak-checking (use soapy water, never a flame).
Quick checks that fix most “no gas” complaints
- Confirm the house gas shutoff valve to the range is fully open.
- Verify the range gas pressure regulator shutoff switch is in the ON position (the manual notes an OFF regulator switch can stop gas flow).
- Make sure the range is plugged in; many Samsung gas ranges need power for spark ignition and oven controls.
- Check that burner caps and heads are seated correctly and not blocked by spills.
- If you recently cleaned, confirm no water or cleaner ran into the cooktop well; moisture can contribute to corrosion and gas valve/port issues.
What’s different: surface burners vs. oven burner
| Symptom | Most likely area | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| No surface burners get gas | Supply or regulator | Shutoff valve, regulator switch, connection |
| One surface burner won’t light but others work | That burner | Cap/head alignment, clogged ports, igniter |
| Oven won’t heat (no flame) | Oven ignition system | Hot surface igniter, bake burner, gas valve |
Parts that commonly solve “no heat” or “won’t ignite”
If the oven won’t light (or takes a long time to ignite), a weak igniter is a frequent cause on gas ranges.
- Samsung range oven burner igniter DG94-00520A (oven ignition)
- Range surface burner igniter DG94-00541A (cooktop ignition)
- Samsung range bake burner DG62-00066A (oven burner)
- Wall oven gas valve DG94-00449A (gas control component; service-level repair)
Why it matters
A “no gas” condition can be as simple as a closed shutoff, but it can also indicate an unsafe supply or ignition problem. Correct diagnosis helps restore proper flame and reduces the risk of delayed ignition or gas odor.
