Viking Cooktop Sparking Continuously
Cooktop Sparking Continuously is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Months of running unobserved
A bearing that started complaining in spring runs unheard through the summer in a seasonal property, so what arrives is far further gone than the symptom suggests.
A failing fan motor
Evaporator or condenser fan bearings wear out gradually, producing noise well before the fan actually stops running.
Loose or vibrating panels
Cabinet panels or compressor mounts that have loosened over time can resonate against nearby surfaces.
