Twelve procedures spanning a gas cooktop and an electric one. The gas entry is a stove that clicks but will not light, which is the most specific symptom in the group. Electric surface work covers the burner element, the terminal block and the range control switch, with drip pans and glass cooktop cleaning alongside. Inside the oven are the lower bake element, the temperature sensor, the selector switch, the convection fan motor, the door gasket and the control board.
Clicks but will not light is worth reading closely, because the clicking proves the spark module is working and moves the question to gas delivery and spark placement: a wet or misaligned igniter, a blocked port, or a burner cap seated wrong. None of that is a parts purchase. On the electric side a dead element is traced through the terminal block and the control switch first. Oven complaints go gasket, then temperature sensor, then bake element, in order of cost.
Each fuel brings its own limit. On gas, work stops at the supply connection — the risk there is a leak, not a botched repair — and a burner that lights unevenly after the ports are clear belongs to someone with a manometer. On electric, the terminal block carries 240 volts and the control board is not a probing exercise. EasyBear services Samsung ranges and cooktops in Sacramento and across the Bay Area.
