      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:

Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Samsung NX58F5500SS Igniter issues?

Since we first got this ring we've been having issues with the front right burner. When trying to ignite the burner, it clicks anywhere from 5-20 seconds and then finally lights.  The longer it takes to ignite, the larger the flame.  I called Samsung and they said since its been doing it since we installed it, it wasn't calibrated properly and we need to have someone come out and look at it.  Any ideas?

Take a close look at the tiny holes ( gas orifices) nearest to the ignitor electrode... be sure there is no cleaning product or food residue clogging those holes, a sewing needle is usually the right size to poke them clean if they are gummed-up. Then. set the burner to "lite" and see where exactly the spark from the electrode is jumping to... if it isn't immediately visible in conjunction with the tapping sound, you might have a pinched wire, but I would start with those simple (and free) steps, then let us know what you see.

If you have a strong spark, clean orifices, but still no ready ignition- try experimenting with how fast you are turning the knob, some burners fare much better with a slow, deliberate turn.

Well i took a look at it and it seems to be acting a little weird.  It sparks perfectly every time.  Gas also comes out while it is sparking.  But it doesn't light.  If I turn it really slowly it lights maybe 60% of the time. Still not the best.
