Cost of a Range Burner Igniter Repair
The cooktop is the part of an Edmonds kitchen used every day, and a burner that ticks without catching is often settled by drying or reseating before any part is priced.

$89 diagnosis, credited The $89 diagnostic visit is one flat charge for the trip and the complete fault-finding, and it is credited in full against the repair you approve.
- A spark module where the fault is upstream of the electrodesquoted after the diagnosis
| What varies | How it moves the figure |
|---|---|
| Electrode or spark switch | The electrode sits at the burner, the switch behind its knob; the test decides which is fitted |
| One burner silent, or all of them | One dead burner points at its own parts; a silent cooktop points back to the module |
| Burners that relight by themselves | Viking's gas self-clean ranges carry a re-ignition module that sparks again whenever no flame is sensed |
| Reaching the wiring | Easing a range out of a tight cabinet run adds labour inside the same band |
Before a part is priced
A burner that clicks but will not catch is often wet or out of line rather than broken: a boil-over in the burner well, a cap resting off-centre, residue on the electrode tip. Drying the well and seating the cap are owner jobs, listed in the once-a-year kitchen check.
On Viking’s gas self-clean ranges each surface knob closes a spark ignition switch, the switch feeds a spark module, and the module fires the electrodes.
What the band covers
Electrodes and switches are priced from the igniter or burner assembly band shown above. A module, where the fault proves to sit upstream of the electrodes, is quoted after the diagnosis. Low flames, yellow flames and the griddle belong to Viking range repair, and the oven underneath has its own oven igniter replacement page, priced from the same band.
A range burner igniter repair: cost questions
- Can the other burners stay in use while one will not light?
- Usually, because each burner has its own electrode and switch. Leave the failed one off rather than letting it click with gas flowing. If you smell gas, turn every knob off, leave the house and phone the gas utility or 911 from outside. Viking Appliance Repair Edmonds books the repair on (206) 210-3547.
- Why does a burner keep clicking after the flame is lit?
- On Viking ranges with automatic re-ignition the spark carries on whenever the electrode does not sense flame, so a damp or dirty tip, or a cap sitting off-centre, can keep it ticking under a steady flame. A switch fault does the same. Viking Appliance Repair Edmonds traces which on (206) 210-3547.
- Does the printed band include the $89 diagnosis?
- The band is the price of the igniter work itself, parts and labour. The $89 diagnosis comes first, and once you approve the repair it is credited in full against it, so it is never paid twice. Decline, and the diagnosis is the only charge. Viking Appliance Repair Edmonds, (206) 210-3547.

The convection fan started howling and then quit altogether. Right diagnosis, fair price, and the noise has gone. My only grumble is the trim around the fan opening went back very slightly off square.
Water kept pooling under the crisper drawers every second day. The defrost drain had iced right over and the heater was open circuit. Both dealt with in one visit and the base has stayed dry.
The griddle would not hold a temperature — fine at one end, cold at the other. He measured across the plate element, found one leg dead and swapped it. First even batch of pancakes in a year.
The band is public; your written figure comes from the visit.
A call to Viking Appliance Repair Edmonds reaches a person at any hour; the booking page lets you choose a visit window yourself, and a technician rings to confirm the appliance before the day. The diagnosis is a flat $89, deducted from any repair you approve.
