At Viking Appliance Repair of Seattle, we understand how annoying it can be to have an appliance you depend on break down. You’re so used to your refrigerator working right that it’s probably never even crossed your mind that something could go wrong. Unfortunately, even the most well cared for and best on the market appliances break sometimes.
Refrigerators are prone to several common issues. Even when they’re the highest quality, like a Viking appliance, a repair can be necessary. Here are a few of the most common problems that can come up with either a built-in or freestanding Viking refrigerator.
Temperature changes. If things don’t feel as cold as they should be, this is a warning sign that something isn’t working correctly. You should call for Viking appliance repair before it becomes a bigger problem.
The opposite can also signify that something needs to be looked at. If your food is freezing rather than just staying cold and you have not made any changes to the temperature, you need to seek a professional Viking appliance repair for a diagnosis.
Cooktops are a luxurious and excellent addition to any modern kitchen. Electric cooktops by Viking are a popular choice for Seattle homeowners. Some of the most common problems reported from these electric cooktops include not turning on. If you’ve already checked to ensure the power hasn’t been interrupted, you will want to work with a specialist in Viking appliance repair to troubleshoot the problem.
Another fairly common problem for cooktops is trouble with the coils. Coils can wear out, or they can become disconnected. They also can simply stop working entirely. Before calling in for Viking appliance repair, ensure you’ve checked the coil connection. If the coil is seated snuggly and still won’t heat properly, you should get in touch with a professional in Viking appliance repair. Electrical appliances can be dangerous to fix if you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t take the risk.
Viking makes a variety of freezers, from freestanding to built-in. Troubleshooting common problems can range from checking things like making sure the appliance hasn’t accidentally been unplugged to ensuring there aren’t any leaks. When dealing with freezers, safety is paramount. Food must remain frozen to be safe.
When a freezer is struggling to keep the proper temperature, there are some signs you can watch for. If you add something new to the freezer and it isn’t freezing like the rest of the food, your freezer is struggling. If you notice water accumulation on the freezer walls or the door or even frost build-up, it’s time to call in the professionals for a Viking appliance repair. Another issue that can arise with freezers is connected to those that have built-in ice machines. If there is a dramatic reduction in the ice made or it stops altogether, it can indicate a problem. For example, the filter for the waterline may need to be replaced, or something may have come loose. Always be sure to check all of your water and electrical connections.
Dishwashers are always underappreciated until they break, and you find yourself doing those dinner dishes by hand. Dishwashers can have some pretty common issues that arise. Viking appliances have error codes built in to help when things go wrong. Still, they can be complicated and are usually best left to professional Viking appliance repair specialists. Our technicians know just what those codes mean and are ready to help put an end to those dishpan hands.
Viking ranges are among the most sought-after appliances for luxury and durability. These ranges are indeed beasts in the kitchen. They, however, do have occasional issues. Usually, the problem is minor, like a burner ignition giving you trouble. On the other hand, because these are gas appliances, it’s essential to always take any issue seriously, as a gas leak can be dangerous or deadly. Remember if you smell gas to open windows and doors, and do not attempt to use any electric ignitions. Then contact a professional Viking appliance repair technician for further guidance.
Aside from ice makers in the fridge itself, Viking has a line of independent ice makers. These are fantastic appliances, especially for those who do much entertaining, as you can never have too much ice. At Viking Appliance Repair of Seattle, we’re here to ensure your party doesn’t run out of ice.
The first sign that your icemaker needs service is usually a reduction in the ice produced. This can happen all at once or slowly over time. Another common issue that comes up with ice makers is a leak. Unfortunately, leaks can be a huge problem. Depending on where your icemaker is, it can damage the surrounding area. Leaks also can cause potentially dangerous situations, so be sure to turn off the water connected to your ice machine while you wait for a certified and trained professional in Viking appliance repair to come to diagnose and fix the issue.
