Viking ranges are known for their durability and performance, but like any appliance, they can occasionally experience problems. If you’re having trouble with your Viking range, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue.

Here are some of the most common Viking range problems and how to fix them:

Problem: Viking range won’t turn on.

Possible solutions:

  • Make sure the range is properly plugged in and that the outlet is working.
  • Check the circuit breaker box to see if the breaker for the range has tripped.

Problem: Viking range burners won’t light.

Possible solutions:

  • Make sure the gas supply valve is turned on.
  • Check the burner caps to make sure they are clean and free of debris.
  • If the burner caps are clean and the gas supply valve is turned on, there may be a problem with the igniters or the gas valves. In this case, you will need to call a qualified technician for assistance.

Possible solutions:

  • Make sure the oven is properly plugged in and that the outlet is working.

Problem: Viking range is making strange noises.
