Viking Oven Not Heating Up? Igniter Troubleshooting (Gas Models)

If your Viking gas oven is not heating up, the most igniter-specific check is whether the oven igniter is doing its job: either it does not energize at all (no glow/no ignition attempt) or it energizes but cannot reliably light the burner (weak igniter behavior). A failed or weak igniter can prevent the oven burner from lighting even when the controls look normal.
