High-end appliance manufacturer Viking offers some fantastic products that bring professional performance to our homes, transforming the kitchen into a chef’s playground. They deliver even heat distribution inside the oven capacity and offer premium features for our convenience. Unfortunately, like any other appliances, Viking ovens are prone to problems. If the oven won’t heat or cook evenly, you might need a professional appliance repair technician help. When the burners of the Viking oven (or any other brand) are not working, owners suspect they are defective. In fact, the issue may concern a power issue. Are your Viking stove burners not igniting on demand? This may be more of a power issue and not a range malfunction. Even though you have a gas range, electricity is still required to ignite the burner. Here’s how to check your stove’s electrical sources to make sure they’re functioning properly:
- Make sure the stove is correctly plugged into a functioning outlet.
- Check the stove’s circuit breaker or fuse in your home’s circuit breaker or fuse box. Reposition a tripped breaker or replace a blown fuse.
- Refrain from using an extension cord to power your range. Most cords can’t safely transmit the electricity required to power the stove.
Still, it is always necessary to clean the burners regularly. It was estimated that 80% of the time this problem is caused by clogged burners. Carefully examine the burner and clean it thoroughly. If the problem does not go away, however, we recommend checking the electrode. Sometimes it can also be caused by a faulty knob or broken knob shaft. Arrange a maintenance visit every six months to eliminate future breakdown.
