I replaced the display in my mom’s stove this morning. It had been flashing and freezing randomly for about a year. This is apparently a fairly common problem with Samsung stoves based on what I found online.

An LED stove display that is blinking and acting glitchy

@blitzcitydiy How much of a job was that to do?

@MLE_online @blitzcitydiy super easy. I just had to take off the back panel (5 screws), unplug it from the motherboard, pop it out from the plastic frame and then pop in the new one and plug it in

@MLE_online @blitzcitydiy it kinda makes me love the really forgotten low end builder quality appliances where you still get a Bourdon tube thermostat

@vxo @blitzcitydiy that's probably what's in my oven

@MLE_online @vxo @blitzcitydiy yeah same, I rock an apartment special. A single red LED tells me if it’s on or not

The display is plugged into the motherboard with a cable bundle and is really easy to access. Replacement parts are easily available too, ifixit even has them: https://www.ifixit.com/products/de07-00129a-samsung-range-display-board

And here is the stove with the new display. My mom is thrilled she doesn’t have to worry about it fully breaking anymore

A stove with an LED display showing the time. It is not glitching, unlike the first GIF. A person turns on the oven and then turns it off to demonstrate that the display is working
