To test a Samsung oven for proper function you should check heating, temperature accuracy, and error codes. First, power reset by unplugging for 10 minutes. Then test bake, set oven to 350 degrees bake and listen for relay click and see if bottom element glows red within 5 minutes for electric, or igniter glows for gas. Use an independent oven thermometer placed in center to test accuracy after 20 minutes preheat, it should be within 25 degrees of set temp, if off by more, calibrate via Settings menu. Test broil by setting broil high, top element should glow. Test convection by setting convection bake, fan should run. Test door seal by closing door on a dollar bill, it should be hard to pull out. Run diagnostic mode by pressing and holding 0 and 1 or Settings and Start for 3 seconds until display shows diagnostic, then check error history for codes like E08 or SE. Test burners on cooktop for induction models by using magnetic pan and checking if pan heats. Test SmartThings app connectivity. If oven not heating evenly, test temperature sensor resistance, it should be about 1080 ohms at room temperature. Always use caution with hot surfaces.
