Gas range, stove and rangetop repair in Los Angeles
Ignition, burner and oven-cavity work on Viking professional ranges, from 30-inch models up to 48-inch tops with a griddle.
In one sentence
Viking gas range repair is ignition, burner, valve, simmer and griddle work on a professional gas range, stove, cooktop or rangetop — the corner of the kitchen this shop spends most of its week inside, and the reason the rest of this site is written the way it is.

How people describe it
Four sentences we hear over and over, printed in the words they arrive in. Recognise one of them and the shortlist behind it is already short.
- Burner ticks away and only catches if you hold the knob in
- Flame burns tall and orange instead of low and blue
- Griddle heats at one end of the plate and stays cool at the other
- One knob turns noticeably heavier than the rest of the row
Two ways in
Learn the range, or let us read it
Plenty of what brings us out is a burner that wants a clean rather than a part. Both routes are open, and the second one is cheaper for everybody.
If you are not sure what to call the thing that has failed, start at the parts glossary.
A good share of what we get called for is housekeeping, and the care handbook covers all of it.
When every burner misbehaves at once it is usually one shared component — the spark module.
From the route
Range calls around Los Angeles
A hundred-and-five-degree afternoon in the Valley and a kitchen that has been running the oven since noon is hard on ignition modules. Encino calls skew towards spark faults and stiff valve stems in high summer.
Three streets from the sand, the slow part of the job is rarely the fault. Screws that have spent a decade in salt air come out at their own pace, so a Santa Monica slot is sized for the hardware as much as for the repair.
Burner caps out here stop seating for a reason cleaning cannot reach: corrosion lifts the rim by a fraction and the flame leans from then on. Worth checking whether a cap rocks before anyone strips the burner again.
Rebuilt kitchens tend to pair an open professional cooktop with extraction a good deal stronger than whatever hung there before. Half the simmer complaints from these blocks are settled by turning the fan down one notch.
A range dropped into a run of new cabinetry has very little air either side of it and nowhere to set a grate down. Both of those change how a visit is planned long before anybody looks at a burner.

A pot of beans boiled over and after that the front burner would only light if I held the knob in. He stripped the ports, replaced a soaked electrode, and left it catching first time.
Dulce M.Cheviot Hills
Pancakes browned along the front of the griddle and stayed raw at the back. One element leg had gone open circuit, which he showed me on the meter. Replaced from stock in a single visit.
Rigoberto M.Cheviot Hills
One burner knob had gone so stiff I needed two hands, and it would not come back down off high. The valve stem was gummed and dry. He rebuilt it, then set the low flame properly.
