The short answer
Viking Appliance Services repairs gas, dual-fuel and induction ranges from Viking, Wolf and Thermador in Calabasas homes. A technician diagnoses the problem in your kitchen, explains what failed and what the repair involves, and fixes it on site when the part is on hand. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility before you call us.
A professional range anchors many Calabasas kitchens. When a burner won't light or the oven won't hold temperature, dinner plans fall apart. Viking Appliance Services repairs high-end ranges, rangetops and range ovens in homes throughout Calabasas (ZIP 91302), about 9 miles southwest of our base in Reseda. We work mainly on Viking ranges, and we also service Wolf and Thermador cooking equipment. Many kitchens here pair a Wolf range with Sub-Zero refrigeration, so we handle Sub-Zero units too. That way one visit can cover more than one appliance. We are an independent repair company and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these brands.
Range problems we fix most often
Most service calls start with one of a few symptoms. Each one usually points to a short list of parts, which helps us arrive with the right components on the truck.
These are the issues we see most on premium ranges:
- Burners that click constantly, click but won't light, or light and then go out
- Simmer burners that won't stay lit on low or run too hot
- Ovens that won't heat, heat slowly, or run well above or below the set temperature
- Convection fans that are noisy, slow or not spinning
- Bake or broil elements and gas oven igniters that have weakened or failed
- Griddles and charbroilers that heat unevenly
- Oven doors that don't seal, hinges that sag, and failed oven lights
- Control knobs, switches and electronic boards on newer models that stop responding

Gas, dual-fuel and induction ranges need different fixes
The three range types fail in different ways. On an all-gas range, the trouble is usually in the ignition system or the gas path. That means spark modules, igniters, burner caps, valves and safety components. Grease and boil-overs on the ignition parts cause a surprising share of problems on Viking and Wolf rangetops.
Dual-fuel ranges combine a gas cooktop with an electric oven, so a single unit can have both kinds of faults. The burners may work fine while the oven has a failed element, temperature sensor or control board. We test each section separately rather than guessing.
Induction cooktops, such as those offered by Thermador and Wolf, depend on electronics and cooling fans. Error codes, zones that won't recognize a pan and power cutting out mid-cook usually trace to a sensor, a fan or a board. These problems need meter testing, not trial-and-error part swapping.
What happens when we come to your Calabasas home
When you book, tell us the brand, the model if you can find it, and what the range is doing. The model and serial plate is often behind the kick panel, under a burner grate, or along the oven door frame. If your community has a gate or guard station, let us know how to get in.
At the visit, the technician checks the symptom you described, tests the related components and walks you through what failed. We explain the repair before starting any work. When the needed part is on the truck, we usually finish the same visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you what's coming and schedule the return trip.
Professional ranges are heavy and often sit tight against custom cabinetry and stone. We protect floors and countertops, and we pull the range out only when the repair calls for it.
Tell us what your appliance is doing.
Quick checks and safety before you call
A few simple checks can save a service call or help us diagnose faster:
- Make sure burner caps are seated flat and the burner ports are dry and clear
- Confirm the range is plugged in and the breaker hasn't tripped, since gas ranges still need power for ignition
- Check whether the oven is in a lock, Sabbath or demo mode
- Write down any error code shown on the display
- If you smell gas, don't operate switches or the range. Leave the home and call your gas utility from outside.
