Samsung gas cooktop with uneven heating—one burner burning stronger than the other while stir-frying vegetables in a wok. Common causes include burner clogs, gas flow issues, or faulty ignition. Learn how to troubleshoot and fix uneven heat distribution on your Samsung cooktop

Why Is My Samsung Cooktop Heating Unevenly?

A cooktop that heats unevenly can make cooking frustrating, leading to undercooked or overcooked meals. If your Samsung cooktop isn’t distributing heat properly, here are some possible causes and solutions.

1. Faulty Burner Element (Electric Cooktops)

Electric cooktops rely on heating elements to distribute heat evenly. If one section of the burner is not glowing red or takes too long to heat, the element may be damaged and need replacement.

2. Uneven Cookware

Warped or uneven-bottomed pots and pans don’t sit flush on the burners, causing heat distribution issues. Use flat-bottomed, high-quality cookware to ensure even heating.

3. Damaged Igniter or Burner Cap (Gas Cooktops)

For gas cooktops, an improperly placed or clogged burner cap can disrupt the gas flow, leading to uneven flames. Clean the cap and reposition it correctly. If the igniter is weak, it may need replacement.

4. Malfunctioning Temperature Sensor

The temperature sensor helps regulate heat output. If it’s defective, the cooktop may not adjust temperatures properly, leading to uneven cooking. A technician can test and replace the sensor if necessary.

5. Power Supply Issues

A Samsung induction or electric cooktop requires proper voltage to function correctly. A loose connection or fluctuating power supply can lead to uneven heating. Check your circuit breaker and wiring connections.

6. Clogged Gas Ports (Gas Cooktops)

For gas models, food debris or grease buildup in the burner ports can block proper gas flow, resulting in uneven flames. Use a small needle or brush to clean the ports carefully.
