Viking VESO166 36-Inch Oven

Most common issues on this model

  1. One broil mode fails
  2. Hot and cold bake zones
  3. Fan rattles at high speed
  4. Door sags under load

The VESO166 is a retired 36-inch Professional electric single oven. Two-element baking, Maxi-Broil and Mini-Broil, convection baking, broiling and TruConvec cooking set it apart from narrower singles. It occupies a wide cutout and holds big pans.

If only one of the two broil modes fails, the problem is in a section of the broil element or in the relay that switches it. Hot and cold bake zones come from a bake element that no longer heats evenly or a convection fan that has slowed. A rattle at high speed means a loose blade or housing. A wide door weighs a lot, so we inspect its hinges and springs for sag.

Parts for a retired oven are checked before we quote. You see the written price first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty follows.

VESO166VESO166 questions
Why does only one broil mode work on my VESO166?

Maxi-Broil and Mini-Broil use different sections of the element or different relays. We test each section and the relay for the dead mode. Testing the sections separately shows exactly where the break lies.

Why are there hot and cold zones in my VESO166?

The bake elements may not both be heating, or the fan may be slow. We measure the elements and the fan speed. Whichever is weaker is replaced.

Are 36-inch door hinges special?

They carry more weight, so springs and pins wear sooner. We inspect them and replace worn parts as a set. A matched set keeps the door level.
