Viking Range Repair in San Diego

Before any Viking range repair, it helps to know the hardware: Viking ranges are professional-style gas and dual-fuel models from 30 to 60 inches, with Professional 7 Series, 5 Series and 3 Series lines.

Expect the usual Viking range suspects: oven igniters, spark modules, convection fans, and door hinges. Owners typically call us about one of these: oven not heating, burners clicking, and door hinge worn. If the oven door does not close evenly, look for a worn or bent hinge; a poor seal can make the oven look like it is losing heat. On a gas range, a burner that clicks but does not light usually has a wet or dirty igniter or a misaligned cap.

Viking ranges use separate igniters for the bake burner, broiler and surface burners, so a range that broils but will not bake narrows the fault quickly. Heavy doors wear hinges and gaskets, causing heat loss. Convection fans can seize after years of grease exposure.

Power blips during Santa Ana events and heat waves can corrupt or damage range control boards, so an electronic range that misbehaves after an outage needs its board checked. A range visit tests the cooktop and the oven separately, since one can fail while the other works.

A Viking oven that will not light on gas often has a weak igniter that no longer opens the safety valve. We price the oven igniters and similar repairs in writing before any work starts.

Do not use the oven to heat the kitchen; it overheats the controls. Have the model and serial ready when you call about burners clicking; it lets us check parts first.
