My Viking Oven Won’t Ignite - How to Repair?

Despite its high quality your Viking range oven might not ignite due to several issues like malfunctioning igniters or improper maintenance. If your stove keeps clicking after you turn the knob, it may simply be enough to carefully clean the burner. Water or corrosion on the burner or even the food residues may obstruct the gas flow. Have a look at the igniter and make sure the spark actually does appear when the igniter is clicking. Sometimes the igniter may work correctly, but the food residue or the misplaced igniter itself could prevent the electric arc from appearing close enough to the gas stream in order to ignite it. If your Viking gas range burners won’t light after a thorough cleaning it’s possible one of the burner igniters is malfunctioning. The igniter is responsible for providing the electrical spark that lights the gas. To test the igniter, turn off the lights and attempt to turn on the burner. If the gas stove igniter won’t spark at all or the spark is too weak, the igniter requires replacement. Unless you’re a DIY expert, we suggest a professional service for this more complex repair. Schedule a maintenance visit at least every six months to prevent all the breakdowns and have your Vikig oven working at full efficiency.
