K.D.D. I have a Viking 6 Burner stove. The problem is that sporadically, four of the 6 burners will stop clicking/igniting when the individual knobs are turned on. The problem will persist for a few days and then correct itself and work properly for several days. The problem seems to correct itself (sometimes) when the oven is turned on and then comes up to temperature after a few minutes. Is this a faulty spark module? Is there short or a loose wire internally? Do I need to replace this part? Other possibilities? Thanks
Answer Hello K.D.D., This is more than likely a combination of dropping the ground to the ignitor area of the cooktop, saturation of the ignitor wires, and a possibly failing spark module. When a unit begins to display this sort of complaint, the issue is best resolved by replacing all of the aforementioned parts since they all contribute to the issue. It is also advised to disassemble the metal parts of the cooktop and clean the surfaces between the metal where the screws hold them together to re-establish ground to the burner base. Read More...
