CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: This repair involves working with natural gas or propane fuel systems and high-voltage electrical components. Always turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and unplug the range before beginning work to prevent gas leaks, electrical shock, fire, and explosion. If you smell gas at any time, immediately evacuate the building, do not operate any electrical switches or devices, and call your gas utility company or fire department from a safe location. If uncomfortable with this repair, hire a qualified technician or licensed gas fitter.TOOLS REQUIRED: Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, 1/4-inch or 5/16-inch nut driver or socket set, flashlight, work gloves, towels for cleaning.IMPORTANT: This igniter is specifically for the bake burner function. The broil burner uses a different igniter part number. Verify your oven has a bake igniter failure (not broil) before ordering.

1. Turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve behind or near the range (turn valve perpendicular to gas line to close). CRITICAL: Never work on a gas appliance with the gas supply on.
2. Unplug the range from the electrical outlet to ensure complete power disconnection. CRITICAL: Never work on the range while it's plugged in.
3. Move the range away from the wall to provide working space and access to the rear panel (if necessary).
4. Allow the oven to cool completely if it has been used recently. The igniter and burner assembly reach extremely high temperatures (2,000°F+) and require at least 1-2 hours to cool to safe handling temperatures.
5. Remove the oven racks from the oven cavity to provide access to the oven burner assembly.
6. Locate the oven bake burner assembly at the bottom of the oven cavity. The bake igniter is typically mounted on or near the burner tube, visible as a white or gray ceramic spiral element with two wires connected to it.
7. Take multiple photos of the igniter location, mounting configuration, wire routing, and connector position before removal. CRITICAL: Wire routing and mounting details must be exact for proper reassembly and safe operation.
8. Remove the oven bottom panel (if present) by lifting it up and pulling it forward to disengage it from the mounting clips. Some models have the igniter accessible without removing the bottom panel.
9. Locate the igniter mounting screws. The igniter is typically secured with two screws that mount the integrated bracket to the burner assembly.
10. Take detailed close-up photos of the igniter from multiple angles, showing: mounting screw locations, wire routing to the connector, igniter orientation relative to the burner tube, spiral element positioning, and clearance to surrounding components.
11. Trace the igniter wires from the igniter element to the electrical connector. The connector typically plugs into a wire harness inside the oven cavity or behind the control panel.
12. Disconnect the igniter electrical connector by carefully pulling the connector apart. Caution: Do not pull on the wires—grip the connector body and pull straight. Note the connector orientation for reinstallation.
13. Remove the igniter mounting screws using a nut driver or socket (typically 1/4-inch or 5/16-inch). Keep the screws organized.
14. Carefully remove the old igniter from the burner assembly. CRITICAL: Handle the ceramic element with extreme care—it is very brittle and can crack or shatter from impact or bending. Do not touch the ceramic spiral element with bare hands—oils from skin can cause premature failure.
15. Inspect the old igniter for damage indicators: visible cracks or breaks in the ceramic spiral element (most common failure), discoloration or dark spots on the element (overheating or electrical stress), damaged or corroded electrical connector (poor connection), or carbon buildup on the element (incomplete combustion). This confirms the diagnosis.
16. Test the old igniter resistance (optional, requires multimeter): Set multimeter to measure resistance (ohms). Touch the probes to the two igniter connector pins. At room temperature, resistance should be approximately 30-100 ohms for a typical Samsung igniter. If resistance is infinite (open circuit, element broken) or very low (short circuit), the igniter has failed.
17. Clean the igniter mounting area on the burner assembly, removing any carbon buildup, debris, or corrosion.
18. Inspect the burner assembly for damage, cracks, or gas leaks. If the burner tube is damaged or corroded, it should be replaced before installing the new igniter.
19. Unpack the new DG94-01441A igniter from its packaging. CRITICAL: Handle the new igniter with extreme care—do not touch the ceramic spiral element with bare hands, do not bend or flex the element, and avoid any impact or pressure on the element.
20. Compare the new igniter to the old one to verify dimensions, mounting hole spacing, wire length, connector type, spiral element design, and overall configuration match.
21. Inspect the new igniter for any shipping damage before installation. The ceramic spiral element should be intact with no cracks, chips, or damage, and the wires should be securely attached to the mounting bracket.
22. Position the new igniter in the mounting location on the burner assembly, aligning the mounting holes on the integrated bracket. Important: The ceramic spiral element should be positioned directly in the path of the gas flow from the burner tube, typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the burner ports. Verify positioning matches your detailed photos.
23. Install the igniter mounting screws through the mounting bracket and into the burner assembly. CRITICAL: Tighten the screws firmly but not excessively—overtightening can crack the ceramic element or mounting bracket. Hand-tight plus 1/8 turn is sufficient.
24. Verify the igniter is securely mounted with no excessive play or movement. The igniter should be stable and properly positioned relative to the burner tube.
25. Route the igniter wires to the connector location, ensuring wires are not pinched, kinked, or in contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges. Follow your detailed photos for exact wire routing.
26. Connect the igniter electrical connector to the wire harness by aligning the connector and pushing it together firmly until it clicks or seats completely. Important: The connector must be fully seated for proper electrical connection and safe operation.
27. Verify the connector is securely connected by gently tugging on the connector—should not pull apart.
28. Reinstall the oven bottom panel (if removed) by positioning it and engaging it with the mounting clips.
29. Reinstall the oven racks in their original positions.
30. Move the range back to its installation location (if moved).
31. Turn on the gas supply by turning the shutoff valve parallel to the gas line. CRITICAL: Check for gas leaks at all connections using soapy water—bubbles indicate leaks. If leaks are detected, immediately turn off the gas supply and repair the leak before proceeding.
32. Restore electrical power by plugging in the range.
33. Run a test cycle to verify proper igniter operation:Set the oven to bake at 350°FObserve the igniter through the oven window or door (do not open the door during ignition)The igniter should begin glowing within 15-30 seconds (bright red or orange spiral)After 30-60 seconds of glowing, you should hear the gas valve click open and see the flame igniteThe flame should be blue with minimal yellow tips, indicating proper combustionAllow the oven to heat for 5-10 minutes to verify consistent flame and proper temperature control
34. Listen for any unusual sounds during ignition—clicking, popping, or hissing may indicate gas flow problems or improper igniter positioning.
35. Check for gas odor during and after ignition. If you smell gas at any time, immediately turn off the oven, turn off the gas supply, unplug the range, and contact a qualified technician.
36. Verify the oven reaches the set temperature by using an oven thermometer placed in the center of the oven. After 15-20 minutes, the oven should be at or near 350°F.
37. Test the broil function (if applicable) to verify the broil burner still operates properly with its separate igniter.
38. Monitor the oven during the test cycle for proper operation: consistent flame, no gas odor, proper temperature control, and no unusual sounds.
39. If the oven ignites properly, maintains consistent flame, reaches proper temperature, and operates without gas odor or unusual sounds, the repair is complete.

Safety Notes: Always turn off gas supply and unplug the range before working inside. Handle the ceramic spiral igniter element with extreme care—very brittle. Do not touch the ceramic element with bare hands. Verify wire connections are secure and properly routed. Check for gas leaks at all connections using soapy water. Test operation thoroughly with bake function. If you smell gas at any time, evacuate immediately and call your gas utility or fire department. This repair requires moderate mechanical skills and typically takes 30-50 minutes for DIY.

1. The DG94-01441A is specifically for the bake burner—do not confuse it with the broil igniter, which is a separate part number. Samsung gas ranges typically have two separate igniters: one for the bake burner (bottom of oven) and one for the broil burner (top of oven). Each igniter has a different part number and different design. If your oven doesn't heat in bake mode but broil works fine, the bake igniter has failed. If broil doesn't work but bake does, the broil igniter has failed. Verify which function is not working before ordering.
2. An igniter that glows but doesn't ignite the gas indicates the igniter is weak and not drawing enough current to open the safety valve. This is the most common symptom of igniter failure. The igniter may still glow red or orange, but if it's not drawing sufficient current, the safety valve won't open and gas won't flow. As igniters age, their resistance increases, reducing current draw below the threshold needed to open the valve. If your igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without igniting gas, the igniter is weak and should be replaced.
3. The spiral design of the DG94-01441A provides efficient heating and reliable ignition—verify the spiral element is positioned correctly relative to the burner ports. The spiral element must be positioned directly in the path of gas flow from the burner tube, typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the burner ports. If the igniter is too far from the burner ports, the gas may not ignite reliably or may ignite with a delayed "poof" that's dangerous. If the igniter is too close, it may be damaged by the flame or carbon buildup. Verify the new igniter is positioned exactly as the old one per your detailed photos.
4. Never touch the ceramic spiral element with bare hands—oils from skin cause hot spots that lead to premature cracking and failure. The ceramic element operates at extremely high temperatures (2,000°F+), and any contamination on the surface creates uneven heating that causes thermal stress and cracking. Always handle the igniter by the metal mounting bracket or connector, never by the ceramic spiral element. If you accidentally touch the element, clean it with rubbing alcohol before installation.
5. The ceramic spiral igniter element is extremely brittle—handle with care during installation and avoid any bending, flexing, or impact. Ceramic igniters can crack or shatter from even minor impacts or stress. During installation, support the igniter by the mounting bracket and avoid putting any pressure on the ceramic spiral element. Do not overtighten the mounting screws—can crack the element or bracket. If the igniter is dropped or impacted during installation, inspect it carefully for cracks before proceeding.
6. If the new igniter glows but doesn't ignite gas, check for: gas supply turned off, clogged burner ports, faulty gas safety valve, or incorrect igniter installation. A new igniter that glows but doesn't ignite indicates a problem other than the igniter itself. Verify the gas supply is on, check the burner ports for clogs or debris, test the gas safety valve for proper operation, and verify the igniter is positioned correctly relative to the burner ports.
7. The igniter should glow bright red or orange within 15-30 seconds and ignite gas within 30-60 seconds total. If ignition takes longer than 90 seconds, the igniter is weak, the gas pressure is low, or the safety valve is malfunctioning. Normal ignition sequence: igniter begins glowing within 15-30 seconds, reaches full glow within 30-45 seconds, safety valve opens and gas ignites within 30-60 seconds total. If your oven takes longer, diagnose the root cause.
8. Carbon buildup on the spiral igniter element indicates incomplete combustion from improper air-to-gas ratio or clogged burner ports. If your old igniter has black carbon deposits on the ceramic spiral element, the oven's combustion system needs service. Clean the burner ports, inspect the air shutter adjustment, and verify proper gas pressure. Installing a new igniter without addressing the combustion problem results in rapid carbon buildup and premature igniter failure.
9. If the igniter doesn't glow at all, check for: loose electrical connector, faulty oven control board, or open circuit in the igniter. A new igniter that doesn't glow indicates an electrical problem. Verify the connector is fully seated, test for voltage at the igniter connector with a multimeter (should read 120V AC when oven is set to bake), and test the igniter resistance (should be 30-100 ohms for typical Samsung igniter). If voltage is present but the igniter doesn't glow, the igniter is defective.
10. The flame should be blue with minimal yellow tips—excessive yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion and requires air shutter adjustment. After installing the new igniter and verifying ignition, inspect the flame color. A proper gas flame is mostly blue with small yellow tips. Excessive yellow flame indicates too much gas or not enough air, causing incomplete combustion, carbon buildup, and potential carbon monoxide production. Adjust the air shutter on the burner tube to increase air flow until the flame is mostly blue.

Igniter lifespan is typically 3-8 years with average use, but can fail prematurely from thermal stress, contamination, or power surges. Factors that shorten igniter life include: frequent oven use (more heating cycles), self-cleaning cycles (extreme temperatures), power surges or voltage spikes, contamination from spills or cleaners, and improper installation. To extend igniter life, avoid touching the element, clean up spills promptly, use a surge protector, and handle the igniter carefully during any oven maintenance.

1. After replacing the igniter, monitor the first few ignition cycles carefully to verify proper operation and safety. Watch the spiral element glow, listen for the gas valve click, observe the flame ignition, and check for gas odor. If any problems occur (delayed ignition, gas odor, weak flame, unusual sounds), immediately turn off the oven and gas supply and diagnose the issue. Do not leave the oven unattended during the first few cycles after igniter replacement.
