Customer Questions and Answers for Hot Surface Ignitor (Flat) by Viking

A flat hot-surface ignitor that replaces a worn oven ignitor to restore reliable burner ignition. Heats to ignition temperature so gas burners can light more consistently and help the oven reach operating temperature. What it does:

• Heats to a high temperature to ignite the oven or range gas burner
• Common failure symptoms: oven won't light, long ignition delay, or intermittent ignition
• Direct replacement for flat-style hot-surface ignitors used in compatible gas ovens and ranges
• Matches electrical connector and mounting style of the original flat ignitor design

• Always shut off electrical power and the gas supply before starting repair
• Handle the ceramic element carefully — it is fragile; avoid touching the element surface with bare hands
• Verify connector/wire compatibility and use the original mounting hardware or manufacturer-recommended fasteners
