Viking PA020028 Genuine Offset Ignitor

The Viking 36” stove I own has six burners I bought it I have had this stove for 22 years, and it has seemed like a real workhorse through it all. There was no problem igniting one of the burners until the other stopped working. It didn't appear that the ignition problem was with the burner, but rather that several of the other burners kept firing even after I had lit the burner I had turned on. Researching spark plug replacements, I found these shiny, new spark plugs that looked very similar to the original ones, and rather than spend $150 on a technician call, I decided to spend $40 on an ignition device. In fact, replacing the igniter is actually pretty easy simply remove all three parts of the burner - the top grate, debris ring, and circular diffuser - and you're done. If you must use a Phillips screwdriver, do so using a Take a screwdriver head (the only tool you should need) and unscrew the two screws at the base of the old igniter (put them in a nearby bowl so they don't get lost!) Remove the old igniter (carefully), and remove the old igniter (carefully). A small crimped clip joins the low-flow valve to the low-pressure tank Using your fingers, gently loosen the wire from the ignition system and carefully pull it off the old ignition system. Hold the wire tightly so it doesn't fall down inside the stove and snag you again! Otherwise, it will fall down and you will have to spend a lot of time finding it! Line up the wire clip with the hole the base of the old igniter went through, attach the wire clip to the bottom pin of your new igniter, and tighten down the whole assembly using the same old screws (make sure the off-center bit isn't getting in the way). The flame of the igniter faces the center lip at the top of the igniter. It may all sound daunting, but don't worry - if you are the least bit handy, you'll get the hang of it. After I installed a replacement igniter, my problem was resolved. We discovered that there is actually a tiny thermocouple inside each igniter that, once lit, tells the lighting system to eliminate sparking of the other igniters after the first igniter is lit. I was able to save a lot of money by taking care of the issue myself and didn't have to wait around for the repair company's entire 6 hour "window. ". Glad I found this site! As far as I can tell, this new igniter should fit all Viking stoves, at least those dating back to the late 90's and possibly even before that. I found it to be useful, at least.

So rather than call for repair service, I decided to try to figure out what might be wrong, and what part could fix the problem. Having done a bit of digging around, I decided it would be better to start very simple. Once I found the part I needed, I did a search to locate There are very few internet vendors who sell this component, and even fewer who sell it for sale over the phone A good example would be this one Providing a fair deal The shipping was reasonably priced. The vendor I found out there charged just about as much for shipping as the cost of the item, which weighed only an ounce or two at the very most. Instead, I found a company that not only had the part I needed, but charged only a nominal amount for shipping as well. This would seem sufficient in itself, but as it is such a fragile part (it is largely ceramic), it was packed and padded in a much larger box to ensure it arrived intact. A few days later, it arrived as well. Based on my experience, this is a kind of service that can't go unappreciated. I would recommend all Viking owners interested in DIYing to get their needed parts from this store.

Clearly, the problem was misdiagnosed, so the method did not work. It will be held on to in case I need it in the future. My sincere thanks.

An ignitor on my Viking range would not stop clicking, regardless of what I did. The two likely reasons for the problem were replaced with these, which fit perfectly and worked just fine. The whole thing takes less than 10 minutes, and it's quick to prepare- There is now no error message when using top.

In the past few months, Viking has modified the design of their Original design was more appealing to me. It was just a package with no instructions at all, and I would have liked if it came with some kind of instructions.

This fits perfectly and is identical to the ones that came with my 6 burner Viking.
