Viking VDR5486G 48-Inch Dual Fuel
The VDR5486G is a current 5 Series 48-inch freestanding dual fuel range with six sealed gas burners, a griddle, VariSimmer on every burner and dual ProFlow convection electric ovens. It is the largest of the griddle versions in this group, and a common choice for a kitchen with a long cooking wall.
Both electric ovens rely on one control board, so we first decide whether a problem is local to one cavity or shared. We test sensors, elements and locks for each oven. On top, we check the griddle for even heat, then lift, clean and test the sealed burners. A range of this size also needs correct leveling and a secure anti-tip connection, which we look at during service.
Whenever gas is smelled, the safe course is to leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. Approve the written estimate, and we get to work; the workmanship is warranted for 30 days.
It is efficient, but a board problem can touch both. We test each oven's sensor and element first, so we do not replace the board when a single part is to blame.
The igniter, the burner flame and the thermostat. A weak flame or a drifted thermostat can both leave the plate short of heat. We also look at the flame to see that it covers the burner evenly.
It is a bracket that keeps the range from tipping forward under load. We confirm it is engaged whenever we pull the range out for service.
