Thread: Samsung Gar range temperature calibration

  1. #1

    Samsung Gar range temperature calibration

    Model Number: FX510BGS/XAC
    Brand: Samsung
    Age: 6-10 years

    The actual measured temperature of our Samsung range is quite different than the set temperature. At a setting of 400 I get a measurement of about 360 and this is after I have maximized the user calibration setting.

    I had to replace the igniter within the last year. I've checked the resistance of the temperature sensor (thermistor) and it seems to be well within tolerance. At this point I'm thinking its the control board but thought I would check before ordering one. My wife just wants to replace the range but I think spending a couple of hundred to replace the control board is much better than a grand for a new one.

    The cooktop works perfectly.

    Thoughts?

    So I should’ve done a better job of mapping the temperature / resistance settings. Changing the control I still had temperature issues so went back and measured resistance at different settings. The following measurements were done with a +30 calibration adjustment.

    Setting. Measured temp. Resistance.
    Room. 70. 1077
    350. 338. 1614
    400. 410. 1714
    450. 457 1785
    500 500 1866
    550 1956

    I am guessing I need a new sensor (although the +30 adjustment seems to keep things close but there is no more adjusting).

    Thoughts.
