Parts for Viking Range VDSC365: Griddle Assembly Parts

This griddle box is the metal housing that holds the griddle burner and drip collection area, helping direct heat and contain grease for safe, consistent cooking performance. It restores proper griddle operation and containment of drips and smoke. What it does:

• Houses the griddle burner and aligns the flame and heat under the griddle surface
• Directs grease and drippings to the drip area to reduce flare-ups and smoke
• Helps maintain even cooking by stabilizing burner placement and airflow
• Replaces damaged or warped housings that can cause uneven heating or excessive smoke

• Shut off gas and electrical power and allow appliance to cool before servicing
• Inspect surrounding gasketing and mounting hardware; replace any damaged parts
• Tighten fasteners to secure the box and verify proper burner alignment before use

Thermostat for the griddle and bake surface that regulates cooking temperature to restore consistent heat. Replacing a faulty thermostat can stop under-heating, overheating or irregular temperature cycling so food cooks evenly. What it does:

• Senses and regulates griddle/bake temperature by switching heater circuits to maintain the set heat level.
• Stops symptoms like a griddle or bake surface that won't reach temperature, runs too hot, or cycles on and off erratically.
• Helps restore predictable cooking performance and prevents unevenly cooked food.
• Works as the temperature control element for the griddle/bake function on compatible ranges.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work and allow all surfaces to cool.
• Compare new part to the old thermostat and follow the appliance wiring diagram for correct connections.
• Use proper tools and fasteners; secure mounting so the sensor/shaft is positioned as originally installed.
• After installation, restore power and verify proper temperature control and safe operation.

This black griddle control knob replaces a worn, broken, or missing control on compatible Viking griddles and ranges, restoring reliable manual temperature selection and a finished look. Easy-to-swap for a quick cosmetic and functional repair. What it does

• Fits onto the griddle control valve stem to allow safe, tactile adjustment of heat settings.
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or missing knobs that prevent proper control or accurate setting selection.
• Restores a secure grip and visible setting indicator for repeatable temperature control.
• Helps eliminate intermittent contact or slipping caused by damaged knobs.

• One black griddle control knob

• Turn burners/griddle off and allow unit to cool before replacing the knob.
• Pull the old knob straight off the valve stem; align the new knob's splines and push on until fully seated.
• Do not force or hammer the knob; if it does not fit, verify correct part number and valve stem orientation.

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

Orifice hood (#57) is the burner component that centers and protects the burner orifice, helping deliver a steady, correctly-shaped gas flame for even cooking. Replacing a damaged hood restores reliable burner operation and flame control. What it does:

• Positions and shields the burner orifice to ensure correct gas flow to the burner.
• Helps maintain proper flame shape for even heat distribution across the burner.
• Can cause uneven or weak flames, delayed ignition, or irregular heating when damaged or corroded.
• Use as a direct replacement when the existing hood is bent, cracked, or excessively worn.

• Shut off the appliance power and gas supply before attempting any service.
• Replace only when the burner is cool; do not force or over-tighten parts.
• Inspect the burner head and orifice for damage or debris when installing this hood.

This panel-mounted indicator light signals oven operation. Replace it to restore clear status feedback when the original lamp fails, stays on, flickers, or is damaged.

• Illuminates on the control panel to indicate the oven is heating or in use
• Common replacement signs: light does not turn on, remains lit when oven is off, flickers/intermittent, or physical damage
• Restores visible status confirmation during preheat, bake, or broil
• Indicator only; it does not control oven temperature or heating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the rear of the control panel to remove the old indicator
• Note wire locations; transfer the leads to the new light and seat it fully
• Restore power and test operation before reassembly

This 1/2" x 1/4" rubber bumper cushions contact points to reduce noise and prevent damage on appliance doors, drawers, and panels. It restores proper cushioning for smoother, quieter operation and helps maintain a snug fit. What it does:

• Absorbs shock where panels or doors meet to reduce rattling and clapping noises
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause chipping, scratching, or wear
• Helps doors and drawers close more evenly by restoring original spacing
• Commonly used where small, press-fit bumpers have worn, flattened, or fallen off

• One 1/2" x 1/4" rubber bumper

• Press-fit replacement; remove old bumper and press new bumper into the same hole until flush
• No special tools required; use a flat pick or small screwdriver to remove old bumper if needed
• Avoid installing on hot surfaces or near heating elements; let appliance cool before service
• Replace matching bumpers in the same area if others show wear for even performance
