Viking Range Parts, Explained for Issaquah Kitchens
A Viking gas range in Issaquah wears out one component at a time, and most of them wear for a reason this town supplies: foothill damp that settles on electrodes and burner caps, two different kinds of tap water leaving two different residues on the cooktop, and houses on propane running their burners through different orifices from houses on the natural-gas main.
Each page below takes one part: what it does, how it fails here, the point at which cleaning or adjusting stops working and replacement starts, what an owner can safely check, and when the range as a whole is past saving. Prices live on the repair-or-replace pages, not here.

| No. | Part | What the page answers | Local pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignition The spark side: electrodes, module, switches, leads and the oven and griddle igniters. | |||
| 01 | Spark electrode | The ceramic-and-metal pin beside each burner head that throws the spark lighting the gas. | Foothill damp that never quite dries out |
| 02 | Spark module | The box that turns household power into the high-voltage pulses every burner electrode fires. | Spills and damp reach the switches before the module |
| 03 | Spark switches and harness | A small switch on each burner valve that tells the spark module to fire, plus the wiring linking them. | Humid kitchens slow to dry after a spill |
| 04 | Automatic re-ignition | The circuit that re-sparks a burner by itself when it senses the flame has gone out. | Draughts across a low flame |
| 05 | Ignition leads | The insulated wires that carry each spark from the module to the electrode at a burner. | Water that gets under the cooktop |
| 06 | Electrode ceramic insulator | The white ceramic sleeve that keeps the spark on the electrode tip until it jumps to the burner. | Lake-shore and hillside damp on a sooty surface |
| 07 | Griddle igniter | The igniter hidden under the griddle plate that lights the griddle's own burner. | Grease and damp under a plate nobody lifts |
| 08 | Oven glow-bar igniter | On older gas ranges, the element that glows red to open the oven gas valve and light the bake burner. | Nothing local |
| Burners Caps, heads, bases, orifices and the simmer setting — where the flame is shaped. | |||
| 09 | Burner cap | The loose disc on top of each burner: it shapes the flame ring and only works lying dead flat. | Well water and slow-drying damp |
| 10 | Burner head and ports | The ported ring under the cap: every flame on the burner leaves through one of its holes. | Two tap waters in one town |
| 11 | Burner base and venturi | The throat below the head where gas picks up the air it needs to burn blue. | Spills that sit in a kitchen that barely dries |
| 12 | Orifice spud | The small brass fitting at the foot of each burner that decides how much gas it gets. | Town gas in the valley, propane tanks beyond it |
| 13 | Simmer setting | The low-flame setting inside each burner valve that decides how gently a pot can simmer. | Draughty kitchens and ranges on the wrong gas |
| 14 | Brass burners | Gold-coloured burner parts: coated brass that burns fine dull but fails once pitting reaches the ports. | Well water and salty boil-overs |
| 15 | Air shutter | The adjustable air opening at a burner's inlet that turns a yellow, lazy flame blue. | Propane on the rural edge, town gas in the valley |
| 16 | Grates | The cast grates over the burners and the small feet that keep them level and off the cooktop. | Small kitchens, grates lifted daily |
| 17 | Porcelain burner pan | The coated bowl or surface round each burner that catches spills and shields the steel below. | Lake-shore damp |
| Gas delivery Valves, regulator, manifold, connector and the parts that change for propane. | |||
| 18 | Top-burner gas valve | The valve behind each knob that meters gas to one burner and holds its lowest flame. | The age of the kitchen, more than the weather |
| 19 | Valve stem and knob shaft | The shaft that pokes through the panel from each valve, and the insert in the knob that grips it. | Nothing local |
| 20 | Pressure regulator | Steadies the incoming gas before any burner sees it; set up for one fuel at a time. | Town gas main or a propane tank |
| 21 | Gas manifold | The pipe along the front of the range that carries gas from the regulator to every valve. | Water that sits where it should not |
| 22 | Flex connector and shutoff | The emergency shutoff and flexible hose that join the house gas pipe to the range. | Tight niches in smaller kitchens |
| 23 | LP conversion kit | The regulator setting and orifices that are changed to run a natural-gas range on propane. | Houses beyond the gas main |
| 24 | Oven safety valve | The oven's gas valve, which opens only when the ignition circuit says the burner can light. | Nothing local |
| 25 | Griddle thermostat | The control behind the griddle knob that reads the plate through a bulb and holds its heat. | Nothing local |
| Cooking surface Griddle, char-grill, knobs, drip trays and the trim around them. | |||
| 26 | Griddle plate | The flat cooking plate over the griddle burner; it lives on its seasoning and hates sudden cold. | Months of damp air on a griddle nobody uses |
| 27 | Char-grill assembly | The built-in grill section on some ranges: grate, flavour plates, drip pan and tray over one burner. | Nothing local |
| 28 | Knobs and bezels | The knobs you turn and the rings or bezels behind them that frame, mark or light each setting. | Ranges fitted when the Highlands were built |
| 29 | Drip trays and pull-out pan | The removable trays and troughs that catch boil-overs and grease before they reach the range body. | Spills that stay wet in a cool, damp kitchen |
| 30 | Backguard and island trim | The strip or panel across the back of the cooktop that closes the gap and shields what is behind it. | Nothing local |
| Range oven cavity Bake and broil burners, sensor, fan, door hinge, gasket and light. | |||
| 31 | Oven temperature sensor | The slim bulb clipped to the oven's back wall that tells the thermostat how hot the cavity really is. | Nothing local |
| 32 | Capillary thermostat | The mechanical control behind the oven knob, wired to a bulb in the oven by a thin capillary tube. | Nothing local |
| 33 | Bake burner | The gas burner hidden under the oven floor of an all-gas range; dual-fuel ranges use an element. | Piped natural gas or a propane tank |
| 34 | Infrared broiler burner | The gas broiler at the oven top that heats a metal screen until it glows, then radiates down. | Homes on tank propane |
| 35 | Convection fan motor | The motor and blade behind the round back-wall cover that circulate oven heat for convection. | Nothing local |
| 36 | Oven door hinge | The two spring-loaded hinges that hold a heavy oven door part-open and pull it flat against the seal. | Nothing local |
| 37 | Oven door gasket | The woven seal fixed round the oven opening that the door closes onto to hold the heat in. | Nothing local |
| 38 | Oven light assembly | The halogen bulbs, sockets and glass covers that light the oven, with their switch on the panel. | Nothing local |
| Electrical and chassis Cooling blower, high-limit, relay board, selector, anti-tip and legs. | |||
| 39 | Cooling blower | The small fan that pushes cool air past the controls and door lock while the oven is hot. | Nothing local |
| 40 | High-limit thermal switch | A heat-operated safety switch that opens its circuit when the space around the oven gets too hot. | Nothing local |
| 41 | Dual-fuel relay board | The relays that carry heavy current to a dual-fuel oven's elements when the control asks for heat. | Nothing local |
| 42 | Oven selector switch | The rotary switch behind the oven mode knob that picks bake, broil, convection or clean. | Nothing local |
| 43 | Anti-tip bracket | The bracket fixed at the back that holds the range down if weight lands on an open oven door. | Tight kitchens where the range gets pulled out |
| 44 | Leveling legs and casters | The threaded legs, and on some ranges wheels, that set the range level and at the right height. | Floors in older houses that are no longer flat |
