The short answer
Viking Appliance Services repairs Viking, Wolf, and Thermador ranges in Burbank homes, including igniters, burners, ovens, convection fans, and controls. We come to your kitchen from Reseda, about 12 miles away, find the actual cause, and explain the repair before we start.
A professional-style range is the center of many Burbank kitchens. When a burner won't light or the oven runs cold, dinner plans stop. Viking Appliance Services repairs gas, dual-fuel, and electric ranges and rangetops in homes across Burbank. Viking ranges are our main focus, and we handle Wolf and Thermador ranges with the same care. We drive about 12 miles east from our base in Reseda to reach homes in the 91501, 91502, 91504, 91505, and 91506 ZIP codes. We are an independent repair company and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any appliance brand.
Range Problems We Fix in Burbank Kitchens
Most range calls come down to a handful of parts that wear out with regular use. High-output burners, heavy grates, and large ovens put steady stress on ignition systems, valves, and heating elements. Here is what we see most often on Viking, Wolf, and Thermador ranges:
- Burners that click but won't light, or keep clicking after the flame catches
- Weak, yellow, or uneven flames, or a burner that won't hold a low simmer
- Ovens that won't heat, heat slowly, or run hotter or cooler than the setting
- Bake or broil elements and gas oven igniters that have failed
- Convection fans that are noisy or have stopped turning
- Griddle and charbroiler sections that heat unevenly
- Oven doors that won't close fully, worn gaskets, and loose hinges
- Control knobs, switches, and electronic boards that stop responding

Gas, Dual-Fuel, and Electric Ranges Need Different Diagnosis
An all-gas range relies on spark modules, igniters, valves, and burner heads. When a burner won't light, the cause might be a cracked igniter, a wet or dirty burner cap, a failing spark module, or a gas supply problem. We test each of these instead of guessing, so you don't pay for parts that weren't the issue.
Dual-fuel ranges pair a gas cooktop with an electric oven, so one appliance has two separate systems. An oven that won't heat on a dual-fuel model usually points to elements, sensors, relays, or the control board, not the gas side. Electric ranges and rangetops follow similar logic. We check power at the element, the switch, and the wiring before deciding what to replace.
What a Range Repair Visit Looks Like
When you book, tell us the brand, the model number if you can find it, and what the range is doing. The model tag is often behind the kick plate, on the oven door frame, or under a burner grate. With that information, we can bring the parts most likely to be needed for your range.
At your home, we confirm the symptom, test the components involved, and explain what we found in plain terms. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you so up front and schedule a return visit. After the repair, we run the burners and oven to confirm everything heats and lights the way it should.
Many kitchens we work in pair a Viking or Wolf range with a Sub-Zero refrigerator. If your Sub-Zero also needs attention, mention it when you book, and we can look at both on the same trip.

When to Stop Using Your Range
Some range problems can wait a few days. Others can't. Turn the range off and stop using it if you notice any of the following:
- A gas smell near the range. Leave the house and contact your gas utility or emergency services from outside before calling us.
- Burners that light with a loud pop or a delayed whoosh
- Sparking, burning smells, or scorch marks near controls or wiring
- An oven that keeps heating after it has been turned off
Simple Care Between Repairs
A little routine care prevents many service calls. Let burner caps and heads dry completely after cleaning, because moisture is one of the most common reasons burners click without lighting. Make sure each cap sits flat and centered. Wipe spills from around the igniters before they bake on. Use the self-clean cycle sparingly, since the high heat is hard on door gaskets, sensors, and control boards. If your oven's temperature seems off, check it with an oven thermometer before assuming a part has failed. Small calibration differences can often be adjusted.
