Replacing the burner igniter in your Viking gas wall oven

• At the breaker panel or fuse box, shut off power to the oven. Turn the gas shut-off valve to the off position. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during the repair.
• Remove the screws at the back of the bottom oven panel. Lift the back of the panel slightly and push back to release the bottom oven panel from the retaining lip. Push down on a front corner of the bottom panel so it tips enough that you can grasp the sides of the panel. Work the bottom oven panel up and out of the oven.
• Note how the carbide electrode on the igniter overlaps the holes in the burner. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver to remove the 2 hex-head screws from the bracket that holds the igniter on the burner. Detach the igniter plug from the wire harness by releasing the locking tabs on the connector. Pull the igniter out of the oven and set it aside for disposal.
• When plugging the igniter into the wire harness, be careful not to touch the new igniter carbide electrode. Oil from your fingers damages the igniter carbide electrode and can cause premature failure. Position the new igniter so its holes line up with those on the mounting bracket. Insert the mounting screws and tighten firmly. Push the wires down, out of the way of the burner.
• Reinstall the bottom oven panel.
• Open the gas supply shut-off valve for the oven. At the breaker panel, switch on the circuit breaker for the oven.

• Control panel. The gas wall oven control panel houses the control keypad, temperature display and other displays. Switches and the electronic control board are attached to the control panel.
• Door light switch. The oven door light switch is a plunger switch on the frame of the oven above the opening to the oven. The oven door pushes the oven light switch plunger in when the door is closed to turn the light off. When the door is open, the plunger is released and the light is on.
• Outer oven door glass panel. The outer oven door glass panel is the heat-resistant piece of glass that forms the outer part of the oven door window.
• Oven door hinges. The hinges on an oven door control the rate at which the door opens and also allow the door to stay open at an angle. Hinges are usually installed in pairs so the hinges and tension springs match, ensuring the smooth operation of the door.
