Samsung cooktop and range: common sounds and operational noises
Clicking or cracking
While oven is in use: These sounds are the circuit relays switching. The volume will be a little different on various models, depending on how many relays and their location within the range.
While igniting gas burners: This sound is the igniter sparking to light the flame. All burners will spark and click when any knob is turned to LITE.
Continuous clicking on gas cooktop: If the clicking noise continues even when no knobs are turned to LITE, there may be moisture on the ignition switches behind the knobs. You can try to remove the moisture by heating the cooktop (or oven), or by unplugging the cooktop and letting it dry for a couple hours or overnight. If the clicking continues, visit our Support Center to request service.

Whirring or blowing
Cooling fan: When the cooktop is in use, it will engage the internal cooling fan, and the fan will keep running until the internal components cool down again, even after the cooktop is no longer being used. This sounds like a normal fan noise, buzzing, hissing, or whirring.
Convection fan: The convection fan (the visible fan on the back wall of the oven) will also run at certain times as well.

Puffing
On certain models of gas ranges, which have a double gas burner, the gap in the outer burner may make a puffing sound when the flames are set at a specific level. The puffing sound is completely normal, but if it's bothersome, you can adjust the burner slightly higher or lower to eliminate the sound.
