When one, several or all of the burners of an electric stove does not work and does not turn on, the reasons can be very different: among them there are simple ones that you can easily fix yourself (problems with the outlet or power cable, incorrectly selected cookware for the induction cooker), and complex that can only be repaired by a qualified professional technician, such as a malfunction of the control module or problems in the internal wiring. In most cases, the power outage is to blame, but the reasons for this can be different. In modern devices, sometimes the inclusion of a heating element is blocked by its electronics, for example, with a faulty thermostat. The first thing to determine is whether the gas supply to your range is being obstructed in any way. If you suspect that you do, in fact, have an obstruction in your gas line, it would be better, and safer, for you to call your local gas company and consult with them first before calling an appliance repair company. The most common obstruction you’ll find with a gas range is that the burner itself has become clogged due to a buildup of food substances and debris. Therefore, make sure to give your burners a thorough cleaning before picking up the phone to give us a call. Use rubbing alcohol or a non-abrasive cleaner, as well as a toothpick or small object to ensure that none of the gas jets are blocked. Next, your gas supply might become obstructed is through a simple clog somewhere in your supply line. Since your gas supply comes from your tank, there could possibly be a blockage somewhere along the line between the tank and the cooking range. If this is the case, you’ll have to call the gas company itself to help with removing the blockage. Fortunately, most of the time, this issue is being caused by a burner that hasn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. Still, it is important to make sure your Viking range is able to function properly. Give us a call to arrange a maintenance visit at a convenient time!
