NX36R9966PM ((AA)(0000)) Samsung Microwave Oven Combo - Overview

The Samsung stove I have has had the igniter replaced several times. It seems to wear out over a couple years time. I did the repair with a Philips #2 screw driver. Open the oven door, remove the grates. unscrew the bottom cover and expose the heat shield. Unscrew the heat shield. This exposes the burner. Unscrew the burner from the center of the plate/lower heat shield. Unscrew the burner from the front and back of the oven. Carefully lift up the burner to expose the igniter and clip. Unscrew the igniter from the burner and set the burner aside. Unclip the igniter from the power cable. If it falls below, it won't go far just reach in a lift it back up to fasten the new igniter to the power clip. Refasten to the burner with new clips and screws provided. Re-insert the burner to the gas jet that is below the bottom plate which will not be visible to you unless you place your head towards the rear of the stove and look down. Once the Jet is back into the hole of the burner, re fasten it to the middle back and front of the stove. Replace the covers and grates. Close the oven and test it. A new igniter does wonders. You can remove the stove door for a less intrusive install, but I found it unnecessary to do so and saved a step and time. I was done well under 30 minutes.

I took off the back cover after I looked at youtube similar problems. Then removed the little thermostat and un hooked the 2 wires. I looked up the part and after is was delivered couple days later I connected the 2 wies and after putting the back cover on the oven was back to normal. Was such an easy repair and the part was only $11.

First we unplugged the oven and shut off the gas. We then began removing the two plates on the floor, inside of the oven, to reveal the pipe with the dead heating element. You remove the screws from the back of the first plate, pop it out from the front, then remove the screws from the front of the second plate and pop it out from the back.
The only issue we encountered was when we attempted to remove the two screws for the pipe: the front screw was stuck (possibly from old oil) and stripped easily. to fix that, we took a metal handsaw, and sawed a new cut into the screw to fit a flathead.
After dealing with the screw, we removed the pipe and unplugged the old heating element. We removed the bottom drawer for extra room to assist with unplugging the heating element, and for removing the pipe from the gas line.
We removed two screws with nuts that were attaching the element to the pipe, and replaced it with the new element.
after reattaching the element and placing the pipe back onto the line, before we placed the plates back, we turned the oven and gas back on to test if it was working. One successful test later, we placed the plates and bottom drawer back and we were done.
