Viking VGIC5301 Professional Range Help
One of the first open burner ranges Viking made in this style, the VGIC5301 is a retired 30-inch Professional unit with a 15,000 BTU burner and a 30,000 BTU U-shaped oven burner. It usually stands in a single-range kitchen where the owner wanted restaurant-style burners without moving to a wider model.
After years of use, we see grease on the burner ports, igniters that tick without catching, and an infrared broiler that lights late or not at all. The ProFlow baffle in the oven rarely fails, but a bent baffle or a loose panel can change how heat moves, so we look at it with the oven burner.
Visits start with the burner flames and the oven burner, then the broiler. Anyone who detects gas near the burners should exit the home and contact the gas company from outside. The price is written before we begin, and our workmanship is covered for 30 days.
It is the 30,000 BTU gas burner that heats the oven cavity. If the oven is slow or uneven, we check the igniter, the safety valve and the flame pattern along its length.
A late-lighting broiler is a sign the igniter is weakening, and it can fail completely. Stop using it if you hear a delayed pop or smell gas, then call us to test the igniter and valve.
The simmer flame is set at the valve, and it should be tuned only by a technician. If it keeps going out at the lowest setting, we clean the port first and adjust or replace the valve if needed.
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.
