Choice PB04001 Oven Bake Igniter -

Compatible with PB040001 for Viking Gas Ranges

Product Description

Restore your Viking gas range’s baking performance with the Choice PB04001 Oven Bake Igniter from Express Parts Direct. This high-quality aftermarket flat-style igniter replaces the Viking PB040001, designed for select Viking gas ranges with hot surface ignition systems. Featuring a 2.25-inch white ceramic body, a 4.5-inch overall length, and 12.5-inch wire leads with female insulated terminals, it draws 3.2–3.6 amps to open the oven safety valve and ignite the gas burner. It’s a cost-effective solution for ovens that won’t start, heat unevenly, or emit a gas smell without igniting. Handle with care to avoid damaging the fragile silicon carbide element. Enjoy fast and free shipping on all orders at Express Parts Direct! Note: For best performance, replace both bake igniters simultaneously.

Installation Notes:

• Tools Needed: Phillips screwdriver, small socket set or nut driver, needle-nose pliers, wire splicing tool.

• Safety First: Disconnect power and shut off the gas valve before installation.

• Handle with Care: Avoid touching the silicon carbide element with bare hands, as oils can shorten the igniter’s lifespan.

• Installation Steps: Remove oven racks and bottom panel (2 screws at rear). Access the igniter via the rear panel or drawer area, unplug the wire harness, and remove the igniter (2 screws). If the connector doesn’t match (e.g., female vs. male), cut and splice wires using the included ceramic wire nuts. Install the new igniter, reassemble, and tuck excess wires near the gas safety valve to avoid heat exposure. Note: Some users report fused or rusted screws; a Dremel tool may be needed to cut them. For best performance, replace both bake igniters at the same time.
