Parts for Viking Range VDSC365: Oven Cavity Parts

This 240V broil element replaces a burned or broken upper heating element to restore consistent broiling and high-heat performance in your range. It heats the oven's upper cavity for browning and broiling tasks. What it does:

• Generates the high, direct heat used for broiling and surface browning
• Restores even top-heat when the original element is cracked, open, or not heating
• Works with oven controls and relays to deliver 240V heating power
• Compatible with ranges that use a fixed 240V tubular broil element design

• Disconnect power at the breaker before attempting any service to avoid shock
• Handle the element carefully; avoid bending terminals or the tubular sheath
• Installation typically requires removing the oven top or inner rear panel; follow your model's service instructions
• If terminals are corroded or mounting hardware is damaged, replace those parts for a secure fit

This broil element is the upper oven heating element designed to produce intense infrared heat for broiling and browning. It restores high-heat broil performance so foods brown evenly and finish quickly. What it does:

• Heats from the top of the oven to brown, broil, and crisp food surfaces
• Replaces a damaged, open, or intermittently working broil element
• Helps restore even broiling when the oven's top heating is weak or uneven
• Works as part of the oven's broil system—does not include thermostats or control components

• One broil element, as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Typically mounts inside the oven cavity and connects to two terminal leads; handle terminals gently
• Use proper replacement screws and gaskets where applicable; verify fit before final reassembly

This thermal bulb shield protects the oven temperature sensing bulb from spills, drips, and direct contact while allowing accurate temperature sensing for consistent cooking results. Fits behind the oven cavity where the sensor bulb is mounted. What it does:

• Covers and shields the oven temperature sensing bulb to prevent damage from food, utensils, or cleaning
• Helps maintain accurate temperature readings by protecting the sensor from direct contamination
• Reduces risk of bulb breakage that can cause oven temperature errors or require replacement
• Common symptom: oven temperature inaccurate or sensor exposed/physically damaged

• One thermal bulb shield

• Turn off power to the appliance and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing
• Handle the sensing bulb carefully; avoid direct contact or force on the bulb when installing the shield
• Use appropriate screws/fasteners retained from the original assembly; do not overtighten

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
