I have a Viking Range about 2 years old (VGIC365-6BSS). I noticed that when I turn on the range and ignitors go off (clicking noise) - that all of the burners ignitors go off not just one. I have at least 3 incidences in the past where there is no clicking (not igniting) but gas works fine on the burners. I wait a day or so and then it starts working again. I'm not sure why. I got a quote on replacing the ignitor module ($200) - wow. I spoke to Viking and they said they (ignitors) usually have to be replaced every so often (wish I knew that when I bought it). I'm wondering if I could troubleshoot and fix it myself....and what is wrong with it.

Kinda sounds like a module. BUT first check & make sure all connections are tight. Loose connections can do strange things
