Samsung Oven Not Broiling? Broil Element DG47-00045A – Fix No Top Heat Fast
If your Samsung electric range oven won’t broil, the top of your food isn’t browning, or the broil function produces no heat at all, the broil element is the most likely cause. In most Samsung NE59-series electric ranges, the broil element (heater sheath-grill) sits at the top of the oven cavity and provides the intense top-down heat needed for broiling, browning, and finishing dishes. When it fails — due to a visible break, internal open circuit, or burn spot — the broil function produces no heat, food won’t brown on top, and bake cycles may also be affected if the element is used for preheat assist. ⚡ Common failure point in Samsung-built electric ranges, particularly after extended high-heat broil cycles. Part DG47-00045A is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full broil performance and top-heat function immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Range powers on — display, clock, and surface burners work normally
- ✔ Bake element (bottom) heats correctly — only the broil (top) is the issue
- ✔ No error codes on the display related to the control board or temperature sensor
- ✔ ONLY problem is broil function not heating or food not browning from the top

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Broil function produces no heat — element does not glow red when broil is selected
- Food won’t brown or crisp on top during broil or convection broil cycles
- Oven takes significantly longer to preheat (broil element assists preheat on some models)
- Visible cracks, burn holes, or blistering on the top element surface
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this broil element restores full top-heat and broiling performance immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: DG47-00045A
- Type: Range Broil Element (Heater Sheath-Grill) — top-of-cavity heating element providing intense top-down heat for broiling and browning
- Replaces: AP5967726, PS11722599
- Brands: Samsung
While the oven is open, test the bake element (DG47-00038B) for continuity as well — both elements are accessed the same way and often fail within the same service window on high-use ranges. Replacing both at the same time eliminates the most common Samsung oven heating failures in a single repair.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 15–25 minutes. Disconnect power at the breaker (240V) before beginning — this is a high-voltage component. Allow the element to cool completely. Remove the two mounting screws at the rear of the broil element at the top of the oven cavity, pull it gently forward, and disconnect the two terminal wires — photograph wire positions before disconnecting. Reconnect terminals firmly to the new element, push it back into position, reinstall screws, restore power, and run a broil cycle to confirm the repair.
✓ Compatible Models
Confirmed compatible with select Samsung NE59-series electric range models including NE59J, NE59K, NE59M, NE59R, and NE59T variants. Contact us to verify your model number before ordering.
💡 Pro Tip
Before purchasing, use a multimeter set to resistance (ohms) and touch the probes to each terminal on the existing broil element. A working broil element reads approximately 15–40 ohms. A reading of OL (open loop / no continuity) confirms the element has failed internally and needs replacement — even if it looks intact from the outside. This 60-second test eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re ordering the right part.
