If your Samsung oven is flashing an E-29 ignition error, it can be frustrating. This error typically means the oven’s ignition system isn’t lighting the burner properly, either due to a faulty igniter, blocked gas flow, or a sensor issue.
While the E-29 code may sound intimidating, it doesn’t always require a full oven replacement. In many cases, you can try a few troubleshooting steps yourself before calling for local repair help. And if you decide you’d rather skip the hassle, our Express Repair offers a free service call with repair.
Your oven’s ignition system works like the spark plug in a car—it needs a clean fuel source, proper airflow, and a functioning igniter to start the flame. When one of these elements is off, the system times out and triggers the E-29 error code.
Common causes include:
If you’re comfortable working around appliances, you can try these steps to resolve the problem yourself. Always turn off the oven and gas supply before starting any work.
Remove the burner covers and inspect the ports for food debris or grease. A soft brush or toothpick can clear minor clogs. This alone can often restore ignition.
Look for visible cracks or wear on the igniter. If it glows weakly or not at all, it may need replacement. Igniters are relatively inexpensive and can often be replaced with basic tools.
Sometimes, an electrical glitch causes the error. Unplug the oven for five minutes, then plug it back in and try again.
If the problem persists after basic troubleshooting, the issue could be deeper—such as a failing control board, damaged wiring, or a complex gas flow problem. These repairs can be dangerous without the right tools and training.
