Viking Cooktop Knob Valve Fault
Viking Professional gas cooktop burner valves control gas flow to each individual burner. A burner valve fault presents as a knob that is stiff, difficult to turn, produces a gas smell even when turned off (indicating the valve is not fully closing), or allows gas to flow without igniting (indicating the valve is stuck open). Gas valve faults are safety-critical and require prompt professional attention.
What Causes the Burner Valve Fault Error?
The valve sealing surfaces have worn, allowing gas to bypass when the valve should be fully closed.
Grease that has entered the valve body from spills has caused the valve to stick or seal improperly.
