It’s a frustrating problem when you find your Viking range won’t ignite. This can be caused by food debris clogging the fuel port. Moisture around the igniter can also prevent the burners from lighting.

To resolve this common gas range problem, wipe up spills immediately and dry components thoroughly if they’ve been cleaned recently. If there is food debris blocking the igniter, you can unlog the fuel ports with a paper clip. Scrub the burner caps with warm soap and water if those are dirty as well.

It may be tempting to turn your oven’s self-cleaining feature and check that chore off your list. However, Wolf self-cleaning oven dangers usually outweight the benefits, especially before the holidays. The last thing you want is to call for Wolf oven repair the day before a big event.

The extremely high temperatures required to incinerate grease and food debris can potentially damage important oven components and wiring. Instead, use a little elbow grease and your favorite oven cleaner to get the job done. If you prefer a natural method, mix one part water and two parts baking soda to make a grease-busting cleaner.
