The short answer
If your Viking, Wolf, or Thermador range in Hidden Hills has ignition, temperature, or control problems, an independent technician from nearby Reseda can diagnose it in your home and explain the repair before any work begins. Most range problems come from a small number of parts: igniters, spark modules, valves, sensors, and bake or broil elements.
A professional-style range takes a lot of daily heat, weight, and spills. Burners that won't light, an oven that runs cold, or a control panel that stops responding can take your whole kitchen out of service. Viking Appliance Services repairs Viking, Wolf, and Thermador ranges and rangetops for homeowners in Hidden Hills. Our base in Reseda is about 8 miles east, so the drive is short. We are an independent repair company and are not affiliated with any appliance brand. Our job is to find out what is actually wrong, explain it plainly, and fix it with the right parts.
Range problems we diagnose and repair
Most range calls start with a symptom, not a part name. Tell us what you are seeing and hearing, and we'll trace it back to the cause. These are the issues we handle most often on professional-style gas, dual-fuel, and electric ranges:
- Burners that click but won't light, or keep clicking after they light
- Weak, yellow, or uneven flames on the cooktop
- An oven that won't heat, heats slowly, or misses the set temperature
- Broiler or bake element failures
- Convection fans that are noisy or not turning
- Control knobs, touch panels, or displays that don't respond
- Oven doors that don't seal or close properly
- Griddle or grill sections that won't hold an even temperature
Gas, dual-fuel, and electric: why the diagnosis differs
An all-gas range uses igniters, spark modules, gas valves, and safety systems that must prove a flame before gas keeps flowing. A slow oven igniter is a common reason a gas oven takes too long to heat or doesn't heat at all. We test these parts directly instead of guessing.
A dual-fuel range pairs a gas cooktop with an electric oven, so one appliance can have two separate failures. If the burners work but the oven doesn't, the fault is usually in the elements, temperature sensor, relay board, or wiring. On electric and induction models, we check power supply, controls, and heating components in order. That way you don't pay for parts that weren't the problem.
The brands we work on
We lead with Viking because its ranges and rangetops make up a large share of what we service. We also repair Wolf ranges, including dual-fuel and gas models, and Thermador ranges and rangetops, including models with star-shaped burners and griddle options. Each brand builds its ignition and oven controls differently, and knowing those differences shortens the diagnosis.
Many kitchens with a pro-style range also have a Sub-Zero refrigerator nearby. If it's acting up too, let us know when you book. We can look at both on the same visit when time allows.

What to expect when we come to Hidden Hills
Hidden Hills is about 8 miles west of our Reseda shop, so we can usually reach you without a long wait. When you book, tell us the brand, model number if you have it, and what the range is doing. The model and serial plate is usually behind the oven door, under the cooktop, or on the back of the unit.
If your street requires gate access, please share any entry instructions when you schedule. That way the technician can get to your door without delay. At the appointment, we inspect and test the range, explain what we found, and walk you through the repair options before starting work. We also serve Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Simi Valley, Santa Monica, and San Fernando, so friends and neighbors in those areas can reach us the same way.
Before you call: a few safety steps
If you smell gas, don't try to light the range or flip electrical switches nearby. Leave the house and contact your gas utility or emergency services first. For other problems, a few quick checks can save time:
- Make sure burner caps and heads are seated flat and dry after cleaning
- Check that the range is plugged in and the breaker hasn't tripped
- Note any error codes shown on the display
- Avoid using the oven if a heating element is visibly cracked or blistered
