viking electric range top
Comments (3)gas is not an option and i really don't want to replace my copper pans to use induction. we've had jenn air for years and they get flimsier with each "upgrade" like the look of a range top as opposed to a regular cooktop. i would prefer a larger cooking area say 42-48 but so far i can only find two jenn air and one viking model in that size range. looks like electric is becoming obsolete. i know people either love viking or hate it so i'm taking a wild shot hoping to find someone who had actually used one of these models...See MoreElectrical or Viking Range Hood Death?
Comments (5)Hi Gary, Thanks for quick response. It is hard wired. I checked the range below it, micro and oven next to it, and the outlets on each side (one with GFI). All function. Also checked the breaker box. No separate circuit for it there and nothing tripped in the box. I did have an outlet installed on Friday in our laundry room for new washer/dryer. That's along same wall but at the front end of the house -- the kitchen is in the back. They fished off the adjacent box for the wine fridge but that's also working. And hood was working on Saturday. It's Viking (stop laughing) and 10 y.o. We've had a series of things needing replacement in the house so I'm a bit weary with new washer/dryer coming in this week. I expected the fridge to go next but the hood? Just seems weird. Will check the manual but V being V that won't be much help. It was installed with the manual but never worked properly until a few years ago they had to send their own tech to do the fridge recall. Just don't know whether to call my electrician or get my appliance repair guy back here....See MoreRange Hood electrical problem?

Comments (1)Your experience is why I would never buy another Viking product. I bought a Viking gas range in 2000 and within a month or two of the warranty expiring, I had to replace both the igniters and both burners. And less than two years later I had to replace the igniters again. The oven bottom also needed to be replace. Same problem as yours. The local authorized repairman was corresponding with Viking to see if they would cover the cost of this repair since I had already spent almost $800.00 in repairs on a range that was less than 4 years old. I was still waiting for a response when we sold the house. I included the Viking in the sale. Ann...See Morebarryv_gw
