Viking Range Broil Element Failure
In Viking dual-fuel and electric ranges, the broil element at the top of the oven cavity provides high, direct heat for broiling. A failed broil element results in no heat on the Broil setting, though Bake may still work normally. Broil element failure often goes unnoticed until the Broil function is specifically used. The element can fail with or without visible damage.
What Causes the Broil Element Failure Error?
The broil element resistance wire has burned through at a weak point, typically visible as a break in the coil, dark scorching, or blistering on the element surface.
Grease splatter that falls on the broil element and burns can accelerate element degradation and lead to premature failure.
Basic Steps Before Calling a Technician
-
01Test the Broil Setting
Set the oven to Broil. If the broil element at the top of the oven does not glow or does not glow evenly, the element has failed. Compare against the bake element function to isolate the fault.
