Fan on viking range doesnt work, wont come up

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.

To turn off the self-cleaning cycle on your Eaton Viking 1997 range, follow these steps:

1. Press the "Off/Clear" button to stop the self-cleaning cycle.
2. Wait for the oven to cool down completely. The self-cleaning cycle can take several hours, so it's best to wait at least a few hours before attempting to turn it off.
3. Open the oven door and remove the racks.
4. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any remaining debris or ash from the oven walls and bottom.
5. Close the oven door and press the "Off/Clear" button again to reset the oven.
6. Your Eaton Viking range should now be back to normal and ready for use.

If there is power to the unit (lights turn on) I would check the fuses and switches especially the one for door lock mechanism if you noticed a glitch. But a lot of times if you experiences problems after running a self-cleaning function, including locked door issue, the solution could be as simple as resetting a switch and no actual replacement parts needed. It all depends. If you are in Los Angeles, we could send a Viking repairman the same day you call us. : Viking Appliance Repair

check to see if ignitor is glowing if so if it goes right out bad flame sensor

I would say replace the control panel their are numerous web sites online try Searspartsdirect or E-replacement parts

If it comes from the control panel, it may be a transformer for the control electronics or a relay coil. Sometimes a relay or transformer mounted on sheet steel will vibrate if a mounting screw works loose. That's easy to fix. Occasionally a coil inside the relay or transformer will develop a loose winding - the best repair for that is get a new one.

If the buzzing is specific to one (electric) burner, it could be arcing at a bad connection.

You need to use one of the metal racks that came with the Viking microwave to raise the popcorn bag off the bottom of the microwave. It works great!

There is the on off switch and the blower control that controls the speed of the fan. It is more than likley the blower control that would need replaced.

There could also be a wire disconnected in the hood.

think i would call viking back and ask for refund of inspection fee and go by the bad switch scenerio the electrician said new fan that would be considered flaws in workmanship in most states dont know where you are located but pretty much same anywhere most inspectors for these companies always try to blame problems off on installers hold your ground and make them fix it and refund that" inspection " fee I've been doing electrical work for several (20+) years it takes longer than 5 minutes to troubleshoot something like that good luck
