NSG6DG8500MTAA Samsung Range - 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 issue, I got a new Amana range. Samsung appliances go to my 'do not buy' list along with LG!

I initially thought I needed a new touch control panel but after a bit of research on the web and numerous videos and articles on replacing the control panel, I found an obscure video and forum where they mentioned that this thermostat fuse has been known to overheat and shut down the oven (touch controls) for safety reason. By the way, my unit is 3 years old and the warranty expired one month ago! I took the top off, found the fuse and tested it with a Multi-meter (again, thanks to some very helpful youtube videos out there). Dead. I figured it was worth a try and ordered the $20 part as opposed to the much more expensive control.

> remove all of the gas burners on the stove (a total of about a dozen screws)
> then remove the top back vent and the screws that hold the top metal piece in place
> you will see the thermostat fuse towards the back in the middle.
> loosen one screw and replace
> put back together in reverse order.

*** You do NOT have to remove the front piece as some videos and articles mention.
The total time should be about 20 minutes. With a little patience and pre-homework, it's easy and you'll save a couple hundred in labor costs.

Good Luck.

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 repair was to help my neighbor who lives on a fixed income. Checked oven temp with the oven at 350 f setting, oven was 223 f. Set oven to 465 f and fount the oven at 353 f. 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.

Followed the tutorial, making things easy.

Remove back sheet metal covers. Disconnect temp. Sensor. Open oven door and remove grates. Remove two screws holding sensor to back oven wall. Pull out and then replace with new one. Assemble connections in back and replace sheet metal covers.

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. 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.
