Hello,

We have a NE59K3310SS stove we inheritated with our recent house purchase.

We’ve noticed the following two issues:
1. Oven doesn’t heat up to desired temperature: 25 degrees off. Fix: add 25 degrees to desired temperature. Today we recalibrated the stove to avoid this step.

2. Oven preheats to desired temperature - sometimes all the way to 450 (using analog temperature thermostat to confirm) but drops heats shortly after and does not recover. Anywhere from 50-25 degrees.

Things we’ve tried:
-tested oven thermostat. Ohm reading is within acceptable range.
-removed and tested bake element. No issue with continuity. Visually looks ok, but photo attached to confirm. We assume the erosion is more the coating vs an actual issue but happy to be wrong.

No connectors were loose, and nothing looked burnt out other than the oven light.

Any ideas? We’ve read about replacing the control board, but wanted to get an opinion before buying it as it’s $200 and feels pricy if it’s not the issue (as it wasn’t with another thread on here I searched first)

Yes, we had a member with a similar problem and we all thought since the bake element ohm tested good and heated up that it was ok, but it wasn't. This problem is very Samsung brand specific, usually on other brands when the bake element goes bad it will NOT heat at all, period.

Here's that thread:

FIXED - Samsung Range NE59K3310SS - Oven not staying on set preheated temperature

Over the course of a month or so, I've noticed that even with adequate cooking times and temperatures that our food isn't getting done. I set the oven to 400, for example, and the temperature will reach 400 (or so it says) and then start to drop. We have replaced the temperature sensor probe...

So I'd order and replace the BAKE element. Your model uses that exact same BAKE element as in that thread.

Here's the bottom BAKE element for your model:

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Jake. Does the bake element I posted look alright to the eye? I guess I don’t have many other options. So I can try the bake element and then if that doesn’t solve, control panel?

It didn't look that good to me.

Yes that's what I would do, replace the bake element first.

You mean oven control board?

Here's the oven control board for your model:
