Viking gas oven ignites but then the flame goes out after a few seconds or cycles on and off rapidly.

Safety: Turn off gas and power before cleaning burners or replacing igniters. If you suspect gas pressure issues, contact your gas supplier.

Steps:

• Clean the bake burner ports and the area around the igniter with a soft brush to ensure a stable flame pattern.
• Observe the igniter and flame during operation. If the igniter glows weakly or the flame is unstable, replace the igniter.
• Check that the burner is properly seated and aligned over the gas orifice.
• If the flame lights but the valve closes quickly, the safety valve may be faulty; replace the gas valve after confirming igniter current is within spec.
