Error Code Explained
What Does the Viking Ignition Module Failure Error Code Mean?
When no burner on a Viking gas cooktop produces a spark when the knob is turned to the ignite position, the spark ignition module (the electronic module that generates the high-voltage spark pulse) has failed. A module failure affects all burners simultaneously, distinguishing it from a single electrode failure that affects only one burner position.
Root Causes
Common Causes of the Viking Ignition Module Failure Error Code
-
1Module Winding FailureThe internal components of the ignition module have failed, preventing spark generation to all burner positions.
-
2Power Supply InterruptionA loose electrical connection to the ignition module is preventing it from receiving power.

1Test All Burner PositionsTurn each knob to the ignite position. If no burner sparks, the module has likely failed. If one burner sparks but others do not, individual electrode failures are more likely.
