Leave immediately and take others with you. From a safe location, call 911 or your gas utility. Do not operate switches, appliances or a phone in the affected area. Routine repair booking is not an emergency response.
Gas safety guidanceWhat are you noticing?
A burner that clicks but does not light needs a different check from one that makes no spark. Moisture after cleaning, a cap out of position, an ignition fault or a supply issue can produce similar symptoms. Note which burners are affected and stop repeated ignition attempts.
These observations help describe the problem. They do not identify a failed part on their own.
| What you notice | What to report |
|---|---|
| One burner affected | Identify its position and whether you hear clicking. |
| Several burners affected | Note whether the change began at the same time or after cleaning. |
| Clicking after a spill | Tell the technician what happened and when; moisture is one possible cause, not a confirmed diagnosis. |
| Burner lights and then goes out | Describe the sequence without repeatedly testing it. |
Before your appointment
- Switch the controls off and let the range cool.
- If there is no gas odour, visually check whether a removable burner cap is sitting as shown in the model instructions.
- Record the affected burner positions and any recent cleaning or spill.
- Leave ignition-circuit, gas-pressure and valve work to a qualified professional.
Why the model matters
A range can have gas burners and an electric oven. Tell us which function is affected instead of describing only the fuel used by the cooktop.
Find your matching Viking product documentation. Instructions and fault codes can differ between models.
What diagnosis needs to establish
The visit can establish whether the problem involves the burner assembly, electrode, wiring, ignition controls or supply. Parts and burner designs vary, so the model number matters before a replacement is selected.
For service in Darien, have the model number, the symptom and the time it began ready. Mention any installation or access restrictions so the visit can be planned.
What affects the repair price?
The service call is $150 for the visit and on-site diagnosis. Repair labor and parts are quoted separately after the technician inspects the appliance. The model, cause of the problem, parts and access affect that quote. Review the proposed repair and its cost before approving work.
Eligible repair work carries a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. Confirm the applicable coverage with the service team.
Questions about this problem
Does clicking mean the igniter is working correctly?
It confirms an ignition sound, not that a usable spark is reaching the correct place. A technician needs to distinguish an electrode fault from other causes.
Can I use a match to get around the problem?
Do not bypass the ignition fault. Stop using the affected burner and arrange an inspection.
What details help when I call?
The model number, affected burner position, whether there is clicking, and whether the issue followed cleaning or a spill.
