My Viking stove's oven igniter glows but the oven won't light. Why?

That is the classic sign of a weak glow-bar igniter. It glows but doesn't draw enough current to open the gas valve. Replacing the igniter usually fixes it, and we test the valve to be sure.

The electric stove that came with our Ballantyne house has a burner stuck on high. Is that fixable?

Usually. A burner that stays on high regardless of the knob setting is most often a failed infinite switch, a common and moderate repair. Turn off the breaker until it is fixed, and we will test the switch and element before quoting.

Do you check stove anti-tip brackets in south Charlotte homes?

Yes, whenever we pull a stove out for service we check that the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged. Brackets sometimes get left off after flooring work or a move. It is a quick safety check that protects children who might climb on an open oven door.

Viking Stoves: What We Check First

Most Viking stoves in local kitchens are freestanding all-gas pro ranges in 30, 36 or 48-inch widths, from the older Professional series and the newer 5 Series and 7 Series. On top are heavy sealed burners with spark ignition and cast grates. Below, the oven uses a gas bake burner lit by a hot-surface glow-bar igniter, and many models have a Gourmet-Glo infrared broiler at the top of the oven with its own igniter. Older stoves use a mechanical oven thermostat; newer ones use a sensor and electronic control.

Spark module failure leaving every surface burner unlit

Mechanical oven thermostat drifting on older stoves

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Viking stove repair guide.

Everyday Builder Stoves After Years of Cooking

The freestanding stove in many Ballantyne-area houses is the same builder model installed when the subdivision went in, gas in some neighborhoods and electric in others. After years of daily cooking, the surface parts usually wear first: smooth-top radiant elements that stop glowing, infinite switches that stick on high, gas burners slow to light, and knobs that crack.

Check the obvious first. On an electric stove, look for a tripped breaker, since a partly tripped double breaker can leave the clock and lights on while the elements stay cold. On gas, confirm each burner cap sits square and the igniter is dry. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.

The technician tests elements, switches, igniters and wiring, and checks the anti-tip bracket while the stove is pulled out. Parts for common builder models are widely available, which keeps most of these repairs reasonable. We give you the price and an honest view on whether an older stove deserves the repair.
