When the oven ignitor fails, the gas valve won’t open — leaving you with an oven that clicks without lighting, glows but never ignites, or takes far too long to reach temperature. The DG94-00520A is the correct 3.4–3.6 amp ignitor for a wide range of Samsung gas ranges, available in OEM, XPart premium aftermarket, and universal options.
✓ Symptoms This Part Fixes
- Oven won’t heat — no flame, no ignition
- Ignitor glows but gas never ignites (weak ignitor not drawing enough current)
- Oven takes more than 90 seconds to ignite
- Clicking sound from oven without a flame appearing
- Oven heats slowly or unevenly
- Intermittent ignition — sometimes lights, sometimes doesn’t
- Visible cracks or damage on the ceramic ignitor element
- Burning smell from oven without visible flame
✓ Part Details
- OEM Part Number: DG94-00520A
- Type: Oven Ignitor (Hot Surface Igniter)
- Amperage: 3.4–3.6 Amp at 120V AC
- Brand: Samsung
- Cross-References: DG94-01441A, DS038, 41-230, WB13K21, 114491, 2692271
- OEM: Genuine Samsung factory part — exact fit, out-of-stock purchases enabled
- XPart Premium: High-quality aftermarket ignitor rated 3.4–3.6 amp, engineered to OEM spec
- Universal: Broad-fit aftermarket — confirm amperage compatibility with your model before ordering
✓ Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Intermediate — 30–50 minutes, gas appliance experience recommended
- Safety first: Turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve AND unplug the range before starting
- Allow the oven to cool completely — the ignitor and burner reach 2,000°F+ and need 1–2 hours to cool
- Do not touch the ceramic element with bare hands — skin oils cause hot spots and premature cracking
- The ceramic element is extremely brittle — handle by the mounting bracket only, never flex or impact it
- Photograph all wire routing and connector positions before disconnecting
- Tighten mounting screws firmly but not excessively — overtightening cracks the element
- After reassembly, check all gas connections with soapy water before restoring power
- Run a full test bake cycle and monitor the first few ignitions before leaving unattended

✓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my ignitor glow but the oven still won’t light? This is the most common ignitor failure mode. As ignitors age, their resistance increases and current draw drops below the 3.4–3.6 amp threshold needed to open the gas safety valve. The ignitor glows but the valve stays closed. If your ignitor glows for more than 90 seconds without igniting gas, it needs replacement.
What’s the difference between OEM and XPart? OEM is the genuine Samsung factory part. XPart is a premium aftermarket alternative engineered to the same 3.4–3.6 amp specification — a cost-effective option with strong reliability.
Can I use the Universal option? The Universal ignitor fits a broad range of models but confirm the amperage rating matches your oven’s requirement (3.4–3.6 amp) before ordering. Installing a wrong-amp ignitor will prevent the gas valve from opening.

💡 Pro Tip — Amperage Must Match or the Oven Still Won’t Light:
Gas oven safety valves require a specific current draw to open. If you install a 2.5–3.2 amp ignitor instead of a 3.4–3.6 amp ignitor, the valve won’t open and the oven still won’t ignite — even with a brand new part. Before ordering, check the amperage rating stamped on your existing ignitor or in your service manual. The DG94-00520A is rated 3.4–3.6 amp. Match it exactly.
