The hill on Tacoma's east side that looks back across the city to downtown, with older houses and remodelled kitchens often planned around a gas range.
McKinley Hill stands on the east side of the city, and from its streets the view runs back across Tacoma, the Dome included. The Where row places it in East Tacoma; Eastside Tacoma, the council area next door, has a page of its own.
The Houses row is older; the kitchens mostly are not. Where a remodel brought in gas, the Viking is usually a pro-style range, and the Fuel row is how that is settled before the van is loaded.
On Viking’s 7 Series ranges every burner lights by electric spark, with no standing pilot. The troubleshooting table in that range’s manual gives three causes for a burner that keeps ticking after it has lit: igniters that are wet or dirty, a supply that is not grounded, and reversed polarity. Damp after a boil-over or a wet wipe dries out on its own. The other two sit in the house wiring, which is work for an electrician.
A rangetop and a wall oven
The other arrangement up here splits the cooking in two: a rangetop set into the counter and a wall oven in the cabinetry. That is what the Have ready row is asking for. Two appliances bring two sets of symptoms but need only one trip, so name both when you ring and the technician checks each and prices each before touching either.
The Service call row is the $89, credited to the repair you approve. Ring Viking Repair Tacoma on (206) 472-1140 and name both appliances if both are playing up.
Where to read on from McKinley Hill
The symptom this page touches is answered in full, once, on its own page: Igniter keeps clicking after the burner lights.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.
5.0 / 5 583 reviews
An ice sheet kept building on the back wall of the freezer. He thawed it out, found the defrost heater dead and the drain iced solid, and put a new heater in. No frost since.
Nkechi A. Proctor District
The unit ran non-stop and the floor in front of it felt warm. Condenser coil was packed with dust behind the grille, and the fan was on its way out. Part came in on the second visit.
Lars B. Stadium District
The freezer drifted warm enough to soften ice cream, but nothing looked wrong. He logged readings across an hour and caught the defrost thermostat sticking. Replaced it, and the temperature has held.
