Viking TVDR4816B Tuscany Dual Fuel
The TVDR4816B is a current 48-inch Tuscany dual fuel range with electronic single spark ignition, a storage drawer and a stainless steel oven interior, with a 3.8 cu. ft. capacity listed. It shares its width and features with the TVDR4814I, and differs in the version marked by its last letter.
We treat it as two systems. On top, each burner is cleaned and spark-tested. Below, the oven is run against a thermometer, with the elements, sensor and fan checked. The door seals matter on a wide oven, since a leak shows up as uneven browning. The drawer is checked for smooth travel. Should you smell gas at any time, leave promptly and call the gas utility from a neighbor’s yard or the street. Pricing is written out for your approval first, and the finished repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Each burner has its own electrode and port. The one that fails usually has a dirty port or a worn electrode, which we clean or replace.
The door seal, the level of the range, the elements and the sensor. A leak or a tilt both cause uneven browning. Then the seal and the level.
It can discolor with heat, which is cosmetic. We advise on cleaning products that will not harm the finish. Staining that wipes off is cosmetic, and we can suggest a cleaner that is gentle on stainless steel without leaving streaks or dulling the finish.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
