Viking Stove Repair in Philadelphia

Here is the equipment behind a Viking stove call: A Viking stove top carries high-output gas burners, open or sealed, and may include a char-grill or griddle.

Repairs on these stoves usually involve spark electrodes, burner ports and caps, valves, and griddle thermostats. Put simply, the complaints are flame uneven, burner won't light, and griddle heating unevenly. For an uneven or lazy burner flame, clear the ports with a straightened paper clip, then seat the cap back in place. Clicking that continues after the burner lights usually means moisture on the switch or a failing spark module.

Because high-output Viking burners push more gas through bigger ports, debris and grease degrade the flame faster than on an ordinary stove. Fouled or cracked spark electrodes stop lighting dependably. The thermostats on a griddle or char-grill can drift, leaving only that section cooking unevenly.

If you smell gas around a stove, leave the house without touching light switches and call PGW or 911 from outside before calling anyone else. Each burner's ignition and flame are checked before we decide whether a module or a switch is at fault.

The rating plate on a Viking range lists its required clearance to combustibles, and the hood is normally sized to match burner output. Many models also call for a dedicated electrical circuit to run the oven. Even a routine job such as the griddle thermostats gets a written estimate first, and our 90-day parts and 30-day labor warranty applies once it is done.

Let burner caps and heads dry completely after cleaning before you put them back. If the trouble is flame uneven, a short video of the symptom helps us arrive prepared.
