Viking Wall Oven Bake Element Failure
In Viking electric and dual-power wall ovens, the bake element at the bottom of the oven cavity provides heat for baking. A failed bake element results in an oven that will not heat on Bake, though Broil may still work. Signs of failure include visible breaks, blistering, or burn marks on the element, or the element simply not glowing when Bake is selected.
What Causes the Bake Element Failure Error?
The resistance wire inside the element has burned through, creating an open circuit.
Repeated heating and cooling cycles cause metal fatigue in the element coil over years of use.
Basic Steps Before Calling a Technician
-
01Visual Inspection
With the oven set to Bake, observe the element. A healthy element glows red-orange evenly. Visible breaks or failure to glow indicates element failure.
When to Call a Technician
Failed bake elements require professional replacement with a genuine Viking OEM component.
