Compatibility & Fitment

• Compatible with Viking professional-grade gas ranges and built-in ovens.
• Suitable for use in both bake and broil burner systems.
• Fits various 30-inch, 36-inch, 48-inch, and 60-inch range models.
• Designed for high-BTU burner applications requiring consistent ignition performance.

When to Replace

• Oven fails to heat or the main burner does not ignite after several minutes.
• Igniter glows but does not reach the required temperature to open the gas safety valve.
• Visible cracks, localized pitting, or physical breakage on the silicon carbide heating element.
• Gas odor is present without ignition during the start-up cycle.
• Multimeter testing indicates an open circuit (no continuity) through the igniter leads.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the power supply and shut off the gas valve before performing any service.
• Handle the new igniters by the ceramic base only; avoid touching the black heating element to prevent premature failure from skin oils.
• If the original connector does not match, use the included ceramic wire nuts to splice the new igniter leads to the existing oven wiring.
• Ensure all wire connections are tucked away from direct contact with the burner flame or sharp metal edges.
• Verify the igniter is positioned so that the heating element is directly in the path of the gas flow from the burner ports.
