VGSC3664QSS viking oven range. im only getting 2 spark out…

Is the flame large enough to fill the gap between the igniter electrode and the burner? Are you certain the range is well grounded?

I mean at the outlet, not just where you cleaned. The spark system requires a good earth ground to work properly.

Sounds like the DSI spark module is faulty then. Are you able to perform some disassembly to replace it yourself?

1. Remove grates, grate supports and center spacer.
2. Remove spark module cover.
3. Remove two (2) screws securing the spark module using care not to damage wiring.
4. Disconnect the wiring. (When replacing module do not forget to ground green wire to chassis.)

The parts lookup site for Viking is down, I do not have access to it at the moment. The company at the link below is where the part is sold and they can look it up for you.

Yes, the module powers all igniter electrodes.

You will need to call the parts supplier, I cannot get into the lookup site, it says it is down for maintenance.

Hello, the bake igniters wire is exposed near the front of the oven. The spark does not make it down all the way when it stop lighting. You hear it but the spark is shorting out somewhere else not on the end of the igniter. The manufacture has a sleeve basically that covers the wire and prevent the spark from traveling outside of where it should be.

OK the oven does not use spark igniters but the tops do. As mentioned before the oven uses glow plugs. Regarding the phone call I have no idea what that was about not accepted by me.

OK the way that the system works is that on switch on the glow plugs come on, as their resistance changes so the gas valve opens and ignites. The glow plugs subsequently stay glowing (resistance staying the same) if for some reason the resistance changes (ie faulty glowplug) so the gas valve shuts and the flame goes out.

I'm sorry in this case I can't accept a phone call as I am based in the UK but I have been doing a little searching whilst You guys have been sleeping and it seems that Your model whilst being sold in the UK has a different system in Europe to that in the US. Having trawled the manuals I came across this which may help. It looks like your unit has a spark generator DSI (apology for teaching you how to fix EU units) for the ovens whilst our model is fitted with glow plugs -

I'm trying to sort out further information and will come back to you as soon as I have it to hand.
