Viking Oven won't ignite
Model: VGCC5304BSS Service Manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1072350/Viking-Vgsc530.html?page=15#manual
When I turn the oven on (bake or broil) the indicator light comes on like it's going to try to heat up, but the igniters never fire.
The service manual is for three models, one of which contains two ovens. I assume that I can look at the linked page and just pay attention to the RH Oven entries.
Anyway, the options for my symptoms seem to be:
Open or shorted RTD - not sure if the same logic as thermostat applies
Open thermostat - I think I can rule this out because the indicator light wouldn't come on if it couldn't sense I was below temp
Open selector switch
Open oven control board
Open direct spark module
Defective oven wiring (shorted, open, or burned)
My thought is I should probably open it up and check the LED error codes to see if I can rule out a few more options. Does that sound reasonable?
