VCCU166

Viking VCCU166 36-Inch Combination Cooktop

Most common issues on this model

  1. Radiant zone staying cold
  2. Induction zone shutting off
  3. Touch or knob control problems
  4. Chipped glass

The VCCU166 is a retired Professional series cooktop at 36 inches, offering both induction and radiant zones on one surface. Few of these were installed, so owners often wonder who can look at them.

We handle them the way we handle any two-technology unit: identify the zone, then the type, then test. For a radiant zone, we meter the element and switch. For an induction zone, we try a magnetic pan, check airflow beneath, and look at the coil and board. A 30-day warranty applies to the repair, and the estimate is in writing first.

Please tell us which zone acts up and whether the problem comes and goes, because that decides which side we open first. Retired models take extra care, and we explain parts and timing plainly before any work begins.

VCCU166VCCU166 questions
What cookware should I use on the induction zones?

Magnetic pans such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. On radiant zones any flat-bottom pan works. Check the pan with a magnet if a zone refuses to heat.

Why does the induction side shut down but the radiant side does not?

Induction electronics are more sensitive to heat and airflow than radiant elements. We check clearance beneath the cooktop, the cooling fan, and the board serving that side, and we report what we find before quoting.

Do you service both zone types in one visit?

Yes, we test both. Parts for one side may need ordering, and we will give you the timing and the price for each before proceeding. You decide which repairs to approve.
