The RVEC3456BSB appears in Viking’s own parts documentation as an older electric radiant cooktop reference model. Its zone-based radiant element design is diagnosed the same way as Viking’s current VEC-series cooktops, checking each zone’s element and control circuit independently when one stops heating.
Key Features
- Drop-in electric cooktop, radiant glass elements
- Multiple independently controlled zones
- Ceramic glass surface
- Analog or touch controls depending on configuration
Most Common Issues on This Model
A single radiant zone losing power under sustained use
Control panel unresponsive after moisture exposure
Ceramic surface cracking from a dropped pan or thermal shock
