Samsung Oven Not Broiling or No Top Heat? Broil Element DG47-00068A – Fix Upper Heating Failure Fast
If your Samsung range oven won’t broil, produces no top heat, or the upper element doesn’t glow red when broil mode is activated, the broil element is the most common cause. In most Samsung ranges, the DG47-00068A broil element is the upper heating component positioned at the top of the oven cavity — it generates intense radiant heat downward for searing, browning, and broiling. When it fails due to thermal fatigue, wire breaks, or loss of continuity, the oven loses all broiling capability and top-heat baking performance. ⚡ Common failure point in Samsung-built ranges across dozens of models. Part DG47-00068A is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full upper-element heating and broiling performance immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Range powers on and bake element or surface burners work normally
- ✔ Oven control board is functional — no error codes pointing to board failure
- ✔ Broil element shows no continuity on a multimeter, or has visible burn marks / breaks
- ✔ ONLY problem is oven not broiling, no top heat, or element not glowing red on broil

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Oven won’t broil — no heat from the top element in broil mode
- Broil element doesn’t glow red when oven is set to broil
- Food not browning or searing on top during broil or convection broil
- Visible burn marks, blistering, or a break in the element coil
- Sparking or arcing from the upper element area
- Oven works on bake but completely fails on broil mode
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this broil element restores full broiling performance immediately.

While the oven is open and the broil element is being replaced, test the bake element (lower element) for continuity as well — both elements are subject to the same thermal cycling stress and often fail within months of each other. Replacing both in one visit eliminates a second service call and gets the oven back to full function in a single repair.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 15–25 Minutes. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before servicing — this is a 240V appliance. Remove oven racks for access. Remove the screws securing the broil element to the top rear of the oven cavity, then carefully pull the element forward to expose the wire terminals. Disconnect the terminals from the old element, connect them to the new DG47-00068A in the same orientation, and secure with screws. Restore power and set the oven to broil — the element should glow red within a few minutes.
💡 Pro Tip
Use a multimeter set to resistance (ohms) and probe both terminals of the existing broil element. A working broil element reads between 15–50Ω — an open circuit (OL / infinite resistance) confirms the element has failed. Also check for visible breaks, blistering, or burn marks along the element coil. This 30-second test confirms DG47-00068A is the correct fix before you spend a dollar, and eliminates the possibility that the issue is a faulty broil relay on the control board.
