We can’t turn on our Viking oven without what seems to be electrical smoke. We are having trouble getting a repairman out to our area, can we repair this ourselves safely?
If you are handy and take safety precautions. Such as turning off the gas and unplugging it. You may be able to find the root cause, but at the end of the day, a qualified repairman is needed, especially if there is a wiring issue. Try to find any repairman who works on pro ranges as the majority of the mechanics are the same. Did you try the Viking servicer locator on their site?
