A Mississippi brand of professional-style gas, dual-fuel and induction ranges, now owned by Middleby." url: "https://rangerepair.center/brands/viking/" --- # Viking Range Repair A Mississippi brand of professional-style gas, dual-fuel and induction ranges, now owned by Middleby. ## Viking ranges, specifically. Viking, made mostly in Greenwood, Mississippi, sells gas, dual-fuel, induction and electric ranges, with both open and sealed burners on its gas models. Its current range manuals troubleshoot by symptom rather than by code, so a visit usually starts from what the burners or the oven are doing. The Viking lineup ### Builds 4 range types Gas range · Electric range · Dual-fuel range · Induction range ### Called out for Range Burner Keeps Clicking and 5 more problems on Viking ### Repairs we do 10 repairs, on any make Diagnostic visit · Burner and igniter repair · Surface element and glass top repair · Bake and broil elements ### Error codes Knob-ring signals, no numbered codes Book with what the range is doing and the model plate; the visit starts from the symptom. ## The Viking lineup. Viking builds 4 of the 4 range types this site covers. Which one decides how the visit is planned.

Viking's ranges run from the 3 Series and 5 Series to the 7 Series and the Tuscany line, and each has its own manual. Knob lighting, ignition and oven controls differ between series, so the model number on the serial plate comes first. ### Open or sealed burners Viking still builds open-burner ranges in the commercial style it began with, along with sealed-burner models whose one-piece porcelain top holds spills. The two are cleaned and serviced differently, so the model tells the technician which burner parts to bring. ### SureSpark relights the flame Viking's gas and dual-fuel ranges use SureSpark ignition with automatic reignition: if a flame goes out while gas is flowing, the igniter sparks until it relights. Viking's own list of reasons for sparking after the flame lights includes an ungrounded supply, reversed polarity and wet or dirty igniters. ### Red knob rings mean an error On 7 Series ranges the rings behind the knobs turn red and flash in a set pattern when the range has an error. Viking does not publish the flash patterns in the owner's manual, so the technician reads them. ### Induction checks the pan On Viking 5 Series induction ranges the pan indicator flashes and the element will not heat if the pan's material or size is unsuitable. Anything under about 2 inches across is ignored altogether. Parts Igniters, spark modules, burner heads and oven elements are ordered by model and series. Older Viking ranges may need parts ordered after the first visit. Repair or replace Viking ranges are heavy, largely mechanical appliances, and ignition, element and thermostat problems are routine repairs. Replacement is worth weighing when an older range has a failing oven and worn burners at the same time. Book your Viking visit ## What we are called out for.

Viking lists three reasons for igniters sparking after the flame is lit: the power supply is not grounded, its polarity is reversed, or the igniters are wet or dirty. Let wet burners dry first; if the clicking continues, book a visit, since the other two are wiring checks. ### The knob rings on my Viking 7 Series range are flashing red. What does that mean? Red backlighting with flashing rings is how the 7 Series signals an error code. Viking does not print what each pattern means in the owner's manual, so note which knob is flashing and book a visit. ### Why won't my Viking induction range heat my pan? If the pan is not magnetic or is the wrong size, the pan indicator flashes and the element stays off. Viking says pottery, glass, aluminum and copper pans do not work, and anything smaller than about 2 inches is not recognized. ### How hot does a Viking range get during self-clean? Viking says its ovens reach up to 750°F during self-clean, and the cycle usually lasts 3 to 3½ hours plus about 30 minutes to cool. A door that stays locked until the oven cools is part of that design. --- **[Read on the site: Viking Range Repair | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/brands/viking/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
