Samsung DG47-00038B Range Bake Element Bottom Heater Sheath OEM Part

Unplugged range, removed back panel. Loosened plug block from range, unhooked wires from existing element, then sliced through insulation between element ends with sharp knife. Removed screws holding element ends then removed element. Inserted new element, screwed it in place, connected wires and replaced plug block. Vacuumed up fiberglass insulation dust and replaced back panel. Replaced plug then tested.

I replaced the bake element once I found out that the broil element was preheating the oven only.

First checked the thermistor first...which was fine. Then determined it was the heating element.

Removed the back of the oven, slid the old element out and the new one slid right in. Hooked everything back up and works great. I did have to put a slit in the insulation to get the element out. Very easy over all. Took about 20 minutes start to finish.

After great help from Appliance Parts Pros, used the Tech sheet supplied with range and a good multimeter to identify an open circuit on the BAKING ELEMENT. Thermister tested good, about 1100 ohms at room temperature. Broil Element was good, Controls working properly. This is hard to determine as the broil element comes on during warmup when in regular Baking mode. Could hear both relays clicking when warming up. This model has no convection heating element. REPLACE BAKING ELEMENT: element is hidden under the floor of the oven, accessible from the rear of the unit. Unplug all power, remove the rear cover of the unit, remove the terminal block from the rear of the unit, disconnect two baking element power leads, remove two #2 Phillips mounting screws, slice the insulation between the two ends of the baking element, and gently slide out old element. Reverse to install a new one. Motor Assembly was easy except note that fan retaining nut is left-hand thread--used 9mm socket. It took a few minutes to work off the fan blade, but it did come off without bending any blades The Appliance Parts Pros I spoke with were very helpful in identifying the particular Samsung Range that I had, a NE59J3421SS/AA Rev2. Parts came amazingly fast. The job took about an hour.
