Refrigerator Repair
Built-in and professional-series Viking refrigeration: cooling loss, defrost faults and ice production.
What we get called out for
- Fresh food compartment sitting around 50°F while the freezer is still hard-frozen
- Compressor runs non-stop and the cabinet never reaches setpoint
- Water pooling under the crisper drawers and freezing into a sheet
- Ice maker filling but dumping small, hollow cubes
What the reading usually says
-
Fridge at 50°F, freezer still frozen solid
ReadingSplit-cabinet temperature fault
The fresh-food evaporator fan or its defrost circuit, not the compressor. The freezer proves the sealed system is still making cold.
-
Water freezing into a sheet under the drawers
ReadingBlocked defrost drain
The drain trough has iced over, so defrost melt runs into the cabinet floor instead of the evaporator pan. Clear it before it reaches the floor.
Before you call
Have the model and serial number ready — on Viking equipment they are on a plate behind the door, under the control panel or along the inside of the cabinet frame. With the model in hand we can usually tell you on the phone whether the likely part is on the van or has to be ordered, which decides whether this is a one-visit job.
It also helps to know how long the symptom has been building. A fault that appeared overnight and one that has been creeping for a month rarely have the same cause, even when they look identical from the front.
What it costs
The figure is agreed before anything is opened
Finished repairs land inside these bands — parts and labour together, on Viking equipment in Redmond. A range is what an honest number looks like before a meter has been on the appliance; the technician measures, then hands you one firm figure to approve or decline.
Service call Flat $89 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.
-
Igniter or burner assembly
$180–$440
-
Oven thermostat or heating element
$190–$480
-
Refrigeration fan or defrost system
$280–$680
-
Dishwasher pump or control
$200–$390
-
Control board or touch panel
$430–$650
-
Compressor or sealed-system repair
$1,460–$3,210
You see the figure and approve it before a single part is removed or ordered, and the $89 service call comes off the invoice in full once you do. It is worth weighing a band above against a comparable Viking replacement, before installation: $7,540–$15,410. That comparison is usually what settles whether a repair is the sensible call.

Wine cabinet in the island crept up several degrees across a week. A blocked rear vent and a tired thermistor between them. He fitted a new sensor and cleared the vent. Steady since.
Oona R.Redmond Ridge
Fridge side drifted up near 50 degrees while the freezer stayed rock hard. The fresh-food evaporator fan had seized. New fan motor, and the cabinet was back at setpoint by evening.
Bao N.Overlake
Door alarm kept sounding even with the door pushed shut. The gasket had shrunk at one corner so the switch never fully made contact. Gasket replaced and the seal grips paper again.

Tell us the model and what it is doing
Two minutes on the phone usually narrows a Viking fault to one or two parts before anyone is dispatched to Redmond. No charge for the conversation — the $89 service call starts when a technician is at your door, and comes off the bill if you approve the repair.
