If your Viking oven isn't working, and the display and lights are off, the issue might be a tripped house breaker. Try resetting the breaker. Another potential cause is defective oven wiring (shorted, open, or burned). In this case, the defective wiring should be repaired or replaced.
How to fix Viking VGSO166 when lights don't work?
If the lights in your Viking oven aren't working, start by checking if there's 120 VAC going to the lights, which may indicate a defective bulb. Also, verify the oven light switch changes states when pushed. Finally, check for any defective or broken wiring that may need repair or replacement.
What to do if Viking VGSO166 burners are not working?
If the burners on your Viking oven aren't working, but the display lights and fans are functioning normally, several issues could be the cause. First, check if the gas valve is turned off and, if so, turn the valve to the on position. Other potential causes include a faulty igniter (verify voltage to igniter), a defective gas valve (verify resistance and current), a malfunctioning selector switch (verify proper contacts close), a thermostat timer (verify voltage to and from timer), or a sensor (verify resistance).
Why is my Viking VGSO166 not baking?
If your Viking oven isn't baking, several things could be wrong. Ensure the gas valve is turned on. If it is off, turn it to the on position. Other potential issues include a faulty igniter (verify voltage to igniter), a defective gas valve (verify resistance and current), a malfunctioning selector switch (verify contacts are closed), a thermostat timer (verify voltage to and from timer), or a sensor (verify resistance).
What causes a Viking VGSO166 Oven not to broil?
If your Viking oven isn't broiling, several things could be the cause. Start by ensuring the gas valve is turned on. If it's off, turn it to the on position. Other potential issues include a faulty igniter (verify voltage to igniter), a defective gas valve (verify resistance and current), a malfunctioning selector switch (verify contacts are closed), a thermostat timer (verify voltage to and from timer), or a sensor (verify resistance).
How to troubleshoot a Viking Oven with no convection fan?
If the convection fan in your Viking oven isn't working, the issue might be with the convection fan itself. Verify voltage and resistance. Also, verify the selector switch contacts are closed and verify voltage to and from timer. Finally, check for any defective wiring that may need repair or replacement.
