    Default 30" Viking Range Ignition

    Hello all,
    I'm a bit new to appliance repair, and I'm trying to find a solution short of calling a Viking technician. I recently inherited a 30" viking range w/ convection oven, which means it has auto-reigniting burners. When it left the house it was at, the burners lit perfectly. Now, I have only gotten the ignition spark to work once. The oven, broiler, convection fan, and lights all work perfectly, just no ignition on the range. Has anyone seen this? I'm assuming something was damaged when it was moved, although I couldn't see anything obviously wrong.

    Thanks in advance,
    -Sean Donnelly

    I would start by making sure the range is plugged into a properly grounded outlet, the ignition will not work without a proper ground...

    The outlet does have a proper ground and the cord is in good condition, however would a ground-fault outlet cause any problems?
