Viking DECU166 36-Inch Radiant Cooktop
Viking sold the DECU166 as a 36-inch built-in electric radiant cooktop in the Designer Series, and it is now retired. Homeowners often installed it in a standard 36-inch cutout above a base cabinet or drawer stack.
Because it is electric, repairs center on elements, infinite switches or touch controls, and the glass. We begin by measuring voltage at the terminal block, then test the element in question. If the display or knob action is erratic, we check for moisture around the control area. A written estimate comes first, and the finished work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
With a cooktop of this age, we also look at the terminal block for heat marks and at the glass edges for chips, since both tell us how the unit has been treated over the years.
Many element or switch repairs finish in one visit if the part is in stock. If it needs ordering, we tell you the timing and cost beforehand.
A slightly uneven glow can be normal. Large dark patches or a spot that stays cold may mean a damaged element. We measure it to be sure.
Stop cooking and turn off the breaker. Because it is a retired model, we confirm a replacement top can be found and give you the price before ordering.
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.
