Sealed burner and oven work on Viking ranges. ![Burner head and cast iron grate removed from a professional gas rangetop and laid out on a protective mat](/img/rangetop-burner-02.webp) Burner head off, port pattern and electrode gap checked before reassembly. Symptoms we get called for ## How it shows up - A burner clicks but never lights, or lights and then drops out - The oven runs hot or cold against a thermometer left on the middle rack - The griddle or grill section heats unevenly across its width - The oven door sits proud at one corner and the seal no longer touches - The convection fan runs but the cavity still browns on one side - Every burner sparks at once whenever one knob is turned - The gas smell is faint but constant near the back of the unit A professional range is heavy, hot and simple in principle. Gas or current arrives, a control decides how much, and a burner or element does the work. Almost every failure sits in one of those three places. Our job is to find out which one before anything is ordered. ## The surface Sealed burners fail in a short list of ways. The spark electrode gets fouled with boil-over and stops jumping a clean arc. The burner cap sits crooked after a cleaning and the flame goes yellow and lazy on one side. The igniter module loses one channel and starts firing every electrode at once, which is loud and alarming and almost never dangerous. Or the burner port ring is packed with carbon and the flame will not carry around the crown. None of that needs a new range. It needs the cap and head lifted off, the ports cleared, the electrode gap checked and the module tested channel by channel. If the module is dead we replace it. If it is not, we do not. Griddle and grill sections are their own animal. They carry a lot of mass and they heat from a single burner under a thick plate, so an uneven cook surface is usually a warped plate or a burner running low on pressure, not a control fault. We check the plate flat before we touch anything electrical. ## The oven Ovens drift. A professional oven that reads 25 degrees off after eight years is behaving normally for its age, and the fix is calibration, not a board. We put a thermocouple on the middle rack, run the cavity up to a setpoint, and watch the cycle. What the display says is not evidence. What the probe says is. Beyond drift, the real oven failures are the bake or broil element opening up, the temperature sensor going out of resistance range, a convection motor with a dry bearing that turns but does not move air, and hinges that have taken the weight of a loaded door for a decade and let it hang crooked. A door that sits proud at one corner is a hinge job. The gasket is usually innocent; it simply cannot touch what is no longer square. ## The old-kitchen problem Riverside, Avondale, Old Ortega and San Marco have kitchens laid out between the 1900s and the 1930s. The cabinet opening is frequently narrower than a modern professional range, and the circuit feeding the counter was never sized for one. We have pulled ranges out of San Marco kitchens where the entire cooking wall ran on a single shared 15-amp branch. Before a range goes back into an opening like that, the opening and the circuit have to be right. If the answer is a carpenter and an electrician rather than a part, we will tell you that on the first visit and charge you the diagnostic only. Nobody gains from us forcing a heavy appliance into a hole that does not fit it. ## Gas work and what we will not do We test, adjust and replace burner components, valves, igniters, thermostats, sensors and control boards. We do not run new gas line and we do not size a new circuit. Those are licensed trades in their own right, and we will hand you a clear description of what needs doing so the right contractor can quote it without a second diagnostic. ## What a visit looks like One flat diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you approve the work. A written estimate before any part is ordered and before any tool comes out. Genuine OEM parts. Ninety days on our labor, three hundred and sixty-five days on the parts we supply. We are an independent shop. We are not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer, and we will never tell you otherwise to win a job. Related ## Where this comes up Sector 32207 ### Viking Appliance Repair in San Marco 1920s kitchens, openings narrower than the appliance, and counter circuits that were never dedicated. Fitting work first, parts work second. Sector 32205 ### Viking Repair in Riverside and Avondale A professional range in a bungalow kitchen built before the appliance existed. Long duct runs, shared circuits, and floors that have moved for a century. Sector 32210 ### Viking Appliance Repair in Ortega A 1900s–1930s peninsula neighborhood where condenser fins, hinge pins and levelling hardware age faster than the same parts four miles inland. Shop Note 002 ### The Oven Is Not Lying, It Is Drifting A display is not a measurement. Put a probe on the middle rack and watch a full cycle before anyone orders a part. Shop Note 003 ### It Clicks But It Will Not Light Spark, gas, path. A burner that clicks without lighting is missing one of the three, and it is usually the cheapest one. What customers said ## After this job, in their words 4.3 out of 5, across 32 published customer reviews. Read every one of them. - ★★★★★ The griddle would not get past warm. He checked the burner beneath first, then found the flame spreader cracked through and sitting off its seat. Swapped it and the plate heats evenly corner to corner now. Rosalind E.2026-02-06 - ★★★★★ Two burners lit slowly and one hissed before it caught. He found the igniters glazed over and the electrode gaps wrong from an earlier repair, sorted both, and every burner now lights straight off. Ingrid T.2026-04-13 - ★★★★☆ The oven under the rangetop ran cold by a wide margin. He measured the sensor resistance cold and again hot, showed me both numbers, and changed it. Baking times went back to what the recipes actually say. Warren S.2026-03-28 Book the visit ## Tell us the model. We bring the part. Viking only. Duval County, citywide. Flat $129 diagnostic.
