Viking Appliance Repair in Colorado Springs

Viking kitchens are built like restaurant kitchens: cast-iron grates, big burners, thick oven doors. Most of what goes wrong is wear on those heavy parts, plus a few habits of the design. Our technicians work on Viking ranges and rangetops, wall ovens, built-in refrigeration, dishwashers and ventilation hoods in homes across Colorado Springs — Mountain Shadows, Peregrine, the Broadmoor area and elsewhere — and in Monument.

On the cooktop

• Constant clicking. One spark module serves every burner on a Viking, so moisture under a single cap, or a stuck switch behind one knob, makes all of them tick. Dry the burners fully after cleaning — a few hours, not a few minutes. Clicking that survives that means the switch or the module is bad.
• No flame, or a lopsided one. Food in the ports, a cap that’s off-center, a cracked electrode or a module with a weak spark.
• Yellow, lifting flames. Viking burners are rated at sea level, and one that was never adjusted for the elevation here tends to burn like this.

In the oven

• Slow to light, sometimes with a whiff of gas. Most Viking gas ovens light with a glow bar. As the bar ages, its current drops and the gas valve opens later each time, until it doesn’t open at all. A new igniter fixes it.
• A door that drops open or won’t close. Viking oven doors weigh a lot, and the hinges and springs that carry them wear out. A door that doesn’t close fully lets heat escape and bakes one side darker.
• Elements, convection fans, sensors and locks fail as in any oven — see oven repair.

Built-in refrigeration

The condenser on a Viking built-in sits at the top, behind the louvered grille, where nobody sees the dust. In our dry, dusty climate it fills up fast, and a blocked condenser shows up as a refrigerator that runs all the time and still drifts warm. Cleaning it is part of every refrigerator visit. Beyond that we replace fan motors, defrost parts, ice makers and water valves; more on refrigerator repair.

Dishwashers and hoods

Viking dishwashers mostly need a drain pump, a wash motor, a latch or a fix for a leak. Hoods need fan motors, switches or lights.

Ordering parts

Some Viking parts have to be ordered. When that’s the case, the technician tells you the price and the expected wait after the diagnostic, before you agree to anything; see our prices page. We also service Wolf, Sub-Zero, Dacor and Cove kitchens.
