Viking Repair Issaquah repairs Viking gas ranges and rangetops across Issaquah: the ignition, the burners, the simmer setting, the gas valves and the oven underneath. Ring (425) 920-9484 and describe what the range is doing; the likely part is often named on the call.
Sealed-burner ignition, gas valves, griddle plates and oven cavities on Viking Professional gas ranges, dual-fuel ranges and rangetops.
On calls 8 in the morning to 8 at night, all seven days · the line picks up around the clock
How the call usually starts
- “Front left burner clicks and clicks but never catches”
- “Burner lights, then drops out the second I let go of the knob”
- “Simmer setting still runs a full flame — nothing turns it down”
- “The griddle gets hot at the back and stays lukewarm at the front”
Put the way callers tend to put it. Each one points at a short list of parts, and the visit works down that list with a meter rather than a hunch.
What goes wrong on a Viking range here, and in what order
Four complaints bring most Viking ranges to this page: a burner that ticks without lighting, a low flame that will not stay low, an oven slow to reach heat, and a griddle hot at one end and cool at the other. In Issaquah the first two usually have a local cause before they have a mechanical one. Foothill damp settles in the electrode wells through the wet months, and on the well-water side of town a boil-over dries into a mineral crust that tips a burner cap off its seat. Both are ruled out before any part is priced, because both cost nothing to put right.
When a burner still refuses to light with a clean, dry cap sitting flat, the fault has moved into the electrical side: the electrode, the switch behind the knob, the wire between them, or the spark module that powers the electrodes. Each fails in its own way. An electrode quits abruptly; a module tends to fade, one burner taking longer to catch each week until it stops altogether.
A flame that will not turn down is a different story. That fault lives in the valve behind the knob and its simmer setting, not in the burner, and it is also the first thing to go wrong on a range fed a gas it was not set up for. Houses beyond the town gas main that cook on propane see it most.
The oven under the cooktop belongs here too: the igniter, the bake and broil burners, the temperature sensor, and the door hinges and gasket of a range cavity. That lower half of the range has a page of its own.
Weighing it against a new range
Ignition and burner work falls in the band printed further down this page, and it is small money beside the price of a new range. The comparison only tightens on an old range needing several parts at once. For a range past its fifteenth year, weigh a 15-year-old Viking gas range before booking anything: that page sets the repair band next to the replacement figure and says where the line usually falls.
Before you ring Viking Repair Issaquah on (425) 920-9484, read the model and serial label off the range. It names the width, the burner layout and the fuel, which is most of what decides the part.
The money, before the work
You get two figures ahead of any repair: the $89 visit, and the band this kind of Viking work falls in around Issaquah. A band is honest about a part nobody has tested yet and still narrow enough to plan by.
The visitThe visit costs $89, diagnosis included, and that $89 comes off the repair once you say go.
Bands for this kind of work
A band, because the part and how hard it is to reach set where a job lands inside it. The one figure for your Viking is written down and agreed before a panel comes off.
- Igniter or burner assembly
- $180–$440
- Where a spark electrode, a spark module, an oven glow-bar igniter or a set of cooktop burners lands.
- Oven thermostat or heating element
- $190–$470
- An oven thermostat, or a bake or broil element in a dual-fuel oven cavity.
- Control board or touch panel
- $450–$620
- An oven control or relay board, or the touch panel on the control face.
The other number On the replace side of the ledger sits $7,290–$15,930 for a comparable Viking replacement, before installation. Hold a repair band up against that before deciding; when a repair would not make sense beside it, you hear so and pay for the visit only.
Where inside its band your job lands is decided with the meter in the kitchen. These are the things that shift it:
| Job | What moves the figure | What that covers |
|---|---|---|
| Service call | $89 | Buys the trip, the testing and a written figure before a panel is lifted. |
| Cooktop ignition — electrode, switch or module | Which of the three it is. An electrode is the small end of the job and the usual find; a module is the larger. | The burner that ticks and ticks without a flame. |
| Oven igniter or element | The part for that series, and reach: a range cavity opens from the front, and how much has to come apart to get at the igniter sets the labour. | The usual reason an oven never gets up to heat. |
| Oven control or relay board | A setting adjustment is labour alone and the cheapest answer here. A board is the dearest, priced by the revision your model takes. | Error codes, a runaway cavity, a blank display. |
| Door gasket, hinge or alignment | Gasket, hinge set or both. A panel-ready door adds time: it has to be lifted off and rehung with the cabinet fronts left unmarked. | Low-cost work, and often the cure for an oven that "will not hold heat". |
Every job, on the price board on the homepage. A fault that fits none of these rows follows the same order: tested, then priced, then agreed with you, and only then taken apart. Book online or ring (425) 920-9484.

Burner lit, then dropped out the second I let go of the knob. Thermocouple, not the gas valve another company had quoted me for. Twenty minutes, and it has held ever since.
Gareth M. · Olde Town · Apr 2026
Simmer setting ran a full flame no matter where I put the knob. Valve stems had stiffened with age. Rebuilt rather than replaced, which I appreciated, though the kit took a week to arrive.
Petra V. · Olde Town · Oct 2025
Oven side of the range would not come up to heat while the burners were fine. The igniter had gone weak — drawing current, never opening the valve. Replaced on the spot.
