Range top switch failed after warranty expired

Front right burner (largest) is great for canning, making broth & stews. However, the infinite controller (the switch the knob connects to inside the control panel) has issues and immediately ramps up to high regardless of the setting it is set to (low for example). The large and small burner both come on even if you only select the small burner (inner burner) on the front right burner. Things cannot be left unattended on the front right burner without constant "babysitting" which is difficult making broth or stews where the contents are supposed to boil or simmer for a set amount of time. Based on my youtube search this isn't an uncommon issue for Samsung ranges. It was iffy during the warranty period and outright failed after the warranty period expired. All the other burners seem to work fine (so far). The oven itself seems decent enough. 6.3 cu. ft. interior of the oven will definitely hold a large/very large turkey. Though an inch or two of depth is sacrificed in the back of the oven for the air fry/convection component so it really isn't as deep as it looks. The air fry setting is fairly gimmicky. If you want to air fry, get an air fryer. AND...you need an air fry basket/sheet to use the air fry setting correctly. An air fry basket/sheet has holes cut into the bottom to allow the heated air to pass through. So although it says it is air fry ready - you need additional hardware to capitalize on it. Like I said, get an air fryer - no special hardware needed. Using the air fry option without the air fry basket/sheet is just using the bake setting with a fan - food will take just as long to bake with using the air fry setting without the specific hardware as it does to bake something on the bake setting. The oven itself has a VERY hard time with lower temperature holding - say 250 degrees to ~300 degrees. So cooking fish or dehydrating things is difficult because the oven cannot hold that low of a temperature - it either turns off or the heat bobbles up and down trying to find the right temperature (thermostat issue?). Also a full day of cooking cookies (a double or triple batch) will cause the oven temperature to spike up towards the end and burn the last couple sheets of cookies. So heating internally is consistently inconsistent. Trying to cook cookies with the convection setting just straight up burns the cookies, so meh? The stainless steel look is very nice and hides fingerprints well. We are slowly switching over all our appliances to the stainless steel design as the older appliances fail. The dishwasher is the last holdout, ha!
