Viking 30" Range - Igniter works - but NO FLAME in oven or ranges

Viking Gas Range Burners Won't Light? Here's What To Do... We'll discuss how to properly check the power sources and igniter when your Viking gas range burners won't light. We'll also provide a step-by-step guide illustrating how to clean Viking range burners with the right methods and materials.

Check For Power And Loose Connections

Are your Viking stove burners not igniting on demand? This may be more of a power issue and not a range malfunction. Even though you have a gas range, electricity is still required to ignite the burner. Here's how to check your stove's electrical sources to make sure they're functioning properly:

• Make sure the stove is correctly plugged into a functioning outlet.
• Check the stove's circuit breaker or fuse in your home's circuit breaker or fuse box. Reposition a tripped breaker or replace a blown fuse.
• Refrain from using an extension cord to power your range. Most cords can't safely transmit the electricity required to power the stove.

How To Clean Viking Range Burners

Despite our best efforts, cooking spills and accidents can leave range burners compromised. Liquids, grease, and grime that go unnoticed during a hasty post-dinner cleaning can impair range components, resulting in burners that won't light.
This step-by-step guide provides Viking range cleaning tips that clean your burners and other stove components safely and effectively:

Grates:

Remove the grates and soak them in a sink of hot, soapy water for 15-20 minutes. For stubborn stains, add ammonia to the soaking liquid or scrub with Soft Scrub cleanser. Rinse with hot, soapy water and dry completely before replacing.

Burner Caps:

1. Remove the caps by lifting straight upward.
2. Scrub with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive pad, using Soft Scrub cleanser for tougher stains.
3. For persistent staining, place burner caps outside on a sheet of newspaper. Spray with Easy-Off Fume Free Max oven cleaner and allow to sit for 1-2 hours.
4. Rinse with hot, soapy water.
5. Allow caps to dry completely before replacing.

Burner Heads:

1. Remove burner heads by lifting gently upward.
2. Combine Bar Keeper's Friend and water to make a paste.
3. Apply the paste to the burner head and leave for 30 minutes, resting on a clean towel.
4. Scrub the paste into the burner head with a non-abrasive pad to remove stains.
5. Rinse with hot, soapy water.
6. Allow to dry completely.

Replace the oven igniter. If it is a flat/rectangular shaped igniter use part# 5303935066:
Range Stove Oven Igniter 5303935066 .
If it is round, use part #:
Range Stove Oven Igniter 4342528

You need a new igniter, it may glow, but is probably not drawing the exact amperage required to open the gas valve decisively... You should also check burner tube and orifice for spider webs or other obstructions... Kenmore Range Stove Oven Igniter 316489402

from I review I found it might be this...Simple replacement of Glow Bar igniter requires removal of entire front panel with many screws
so sounds like your igniter might be shot - it heats up to ignite the burners - easy fix - get a long torch lighter and just light the gas after turning it on -

Gas Range Repair Burners Keep on Clicking

it seems the burner in the oven is clogged, by grease, carbon or corrosion, it may need replacing, specialy if this is an older unit

Spark ignition sparks until the flame starts. The flame ionizes the air between the igniter plug and the burner causing the small current to flow between the igniter and the burner. This shuts off sparking. But if there is a gap such as in the spark igniter under the porcelain, technically there still is a gap that the current has to jump and thus the stove keeps sparking. In my case changing the offending igniter plug fixed the problem.

I had the same issue. I needed to plug the plug into a properly grounded outlet. The have little testers for like $5 at Home depot. Plug in the tester, if the incorrect lights come on, that's your problem, or run a GROUNDED extension for another outlet and see if it works.

no the termostat but the ignitor that's the part that's nest to the broiler burner. the part that ignite the flame. when you turn on the broiler the ignitor becomes red like a glow.
