At just 24 inches wide, the VGIC245 shows up in places a full-size range will not fit: small condos, a vacation house, an office kitchen, or beside a larger Viking as a second oven. Compact does not mean simple, since the open burners and the gas oven still need clean ports and a steady spark.
Over the years grease and boil-overs collect under the burner caps, and in a vacation home that sits unused the igniters can pick up moisture and click without catching. The oven safety valve and bake burner are the other parts that tend to wear first.
We start by cleaning and seating the burner heads, then watch the spark and flame on each burner. Should a gas odor ever reach you, get everyone outside first and phone the gas utility from there. Repairs are priced in writing first and carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
The spark is reaching the burner, but gas is not arriving in the right spot. A dirty port, a misaligned cap or a damp igniter electrode are the usual reasons, and we check them in that order before touching the valve.
Look at the burner caps for dust or insects in the ports, then test each spark. We also confirm the oven lights cleanly and holds temperature. A short checkup beats discovering a problem when guests arrive.
Often yes, since a 24-inch Viking is hard to replace in a tight opening. If the repair cost approaches the value of the range, we tell you before work starts and you decide with the written price in hand.
