After 8-10 years of serving, your Viking range may break down or become malfunctioning. If you notice the broiler is not working - the small element at the back glows red but the metal screen does not seem to heat up and get hot, you need to check igniters. When you have a Viking oven broiler not working a burned out broil element can be a common culprit. The broil element is located at the top of your oven. When food is placed at a close distance underneath this element its direct heat sears the outside and leaves it juicy inside. Consequently, broiling is ideal for cooking individual portions of meat or fish, particularly thick, flat cuts, to retain juices and preserve tenderness. A burned out heating element cannot be repaired and will need to be replaced. Over time the igniter can weaken as well. It doesn’t signal to open the gas valve. When this happens, your Viking broiler won’t ignite. To assess the igniter, observe it after the oven has been turned on. If it glows for 90 seconds without igniting the broiler, it’s likely weakened and will need to be replaced. Another common cause for a Viking oven broiler not working is a worn out spark electrode. When the oven is turned on, this component works with the igniter to help light the broiler. Located in close proximity to the element, the spark electrode heats up with electricity when the broil function is enabled. When it’s sufficiently heated the tip of the electrode produces a spark that ignites the flow of gas to the broil element. When your Viking range has been defective, don’t use it anymore.
