Supco SGR4001 Igniter for Stove Range, Replaces Viking PB04001

One side of my oven was not igniting so I purchase 2 of these igniters. They don’t look exactly the same as the OEM but function the same. I had to replace both as replacing just one did not resolve my issue (the other one was likely on its last legs anyways). Once installed, the oven ignited much quicker than before, success!

Both of the stoves old oven ignitors were still glowing but the right bank on my wifes Viking stove (model VGI3656BSS the 6 burner gas job) didn't ignite. I replaced the right one only with this Supco model and the intensity of the new glow was close to double the brightness of the one on the left that didn't replace. Furthermore, when I turned it on, there was much more gas flame on the new one! That told me that the left ignitor would soon need replacing as well. Regardless, took the oven right up to 500 degrees, sonthing we hadn't seen for years (wife would fire the broiler and get it up to temp). With a short phillips screwdriver, you basically take the old one off, screw this on in it's place, pop first one lead off, put the new one on, other lead off, new one on. Woof! (the sound of the oven firing up)

I purchased these as replacements for the viking range that was in the house I recently purchased. The oven was taking FOREVER to heat which was making it very difficult to cook anything. Turns out one of the igniters wasn't working - so we replaced both with these. We also replaced the safety valve. These installed perfectly and the oven heats so quickly now!

Fit perfectly. Given the short length of the leads needed to splice to existing, would have been nice to have the ceramic nuts that were in the description. Not easy to find just 2.

I was skeptical about this product due to it being built a little different. Have had installed on a 17 year old Viking oven for about 4 weeks and no problems. Also installed new burner tubes, oven heats like a brand new oven! Don't spend the money for the Viking brand, these are just as good!!
