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 receptacle under one coil burner on my Rock Hill stove is scorched. Can I still use it?

No, stop using that burner. A scorched receptacle can overheat further and damage the wiring. We can replace the receptacle and element and check the switch, and we quote the repair first.

Can you repair a rental stove near Winthrop if the landlord approves by phone?

Yes. We diagnose the stove with the tenant there, then send the owner the cause and price. Once approved, we finish the repair.

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.

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

Burners that won't light or heat

On older gas stoves, a burner that will not light is often a clogged port, a worn igniter or a spark switch that has failed, and on some very old models a standing pilot that has gone out. On electric coil stoves, the common faults are a burned-out element, a scorched receptacle or a worn infinite switch. These are ordinary parts, which is why repairing an older stove often makes sense.

Before calling, turn the stove off and let it cool. Clean and dry gas burner caps and ports; for coil elements, unplug and reseat each element firmly. If a receptacle looks scorched or melted, stop using that burner until it has been replaced, because the damage spreads to the wiring.

Rentals, safety and what the visit covers

Stoves in Rock Hill rentals get hard use and frequent spills, which wear switches and receptacles faster. We can meet a tenant, send the owner the diagnosis and price, and repair once approved. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911. We test igniters, valves, switches and wiring, but we do not work on gas supply lines.
