Viking 079358-000 Bridge Element Replacement Kit

Product Description

The VIKING 079358-000 is a bridge element replacement kit designed for use in Viking electric cooktops and ranges. A bridge element links two adjacent heating zones into a single, expanded cooking surface, allowing larger cookware to heat evenly across a wider area. This kit provides the necessary components to restore a failed or damaged bridge element to full factory function. It is installed by a qualified appliance technician or experienced service professional familiar with electric cooking equipment and high-voltage heating circuits.

This replacement kit applies to a range of Viking electric cooktop and range models, including both freestanding and built-in configurations. It is suited to residential kitchen installations where Viking electric cooking equipment is in service. The kit restores bridge element functionality without requiring a full cooktop or range assembly replacement, making it a practical service part for field repair.

Consult the appliance service manual for the specific model to verify element routing and fastener locations before proceeding.
