Is your Viking refrigerator warm in Kirkland? Check five things first.
Each check below ends in a plain answer: no call yet, or call. If all five pass, Viking Repair Kirkland ((425) 629-0033) diagnoses it for $89, and that $89 comes off the repair.
Start the five checksVisits 8am–8pm, every day · phone answered 24/7
What can you check before anyone comes out?
None of these needs a tool or a panel off. Work down the list; the first one that ends in "call" is the one to mention on the phone.
Before you call
-
1Does the door shut flat, with its gasket (the soft rubber seal) touching the cabinet all the way round?
No call yet If a bin, a shelf edge or a tall bottle was holding it ajar, clear it and leave the door shut for a few hours. No call needed yet.
Call If the seal is split, flattened or the door hangs away from the cabinet at one corner, that is a repair.
-
2Has anyone pressed buttons on the control panel lately, or turned a temperature setting up?
No call yet Put the setting back where it was. If the display shows a mode you do not recognise, the use and care guide for your model explains each one and how to leave it.
Call If the settings are where they belong and the fresh-food side keeps climbing, book the visit.
-
3Is the grille (the slotted panel above the door or along the base, depending on the model) clear?
No call yet Vacuum the dust off its face and move anything stacked against it, then give the unit the rest of the day.
Call If the grille is clean and open and the compartment still reads warm, the cause is behind it.
-
4Did it just take a big grocery load, sit with a door open, or come back on after an outage?
No call yet Warm food and a restart both take hours to pull down. Leave it a full day (24 hours) before judging the temperature.
Call If a full day has passed and it is still warm, waiting longer will not change the answer.
-
5Is the breaker (the switch for the refrigerator in your electrical panel) switched on?
No call yet If it had tripped, push it fully off, then on, once. If it holds and the unit starts, watch it through the day.
Call If it trips again, or the unit stays dead with the breaker on, stop resetting it and call. Viking Repair Kirkland answers on (425) 629-0033.
$89 credited to the repair
All five checks passed and it is still warm?

Which Viking appliance is giving trouble?
Refrigeration is most of the work here, so it comes first. The symptoms listed are the ones people describe on the phone, in their words.
-
01Viking Refrigerator Repair
Built-in, column and freestanding Viking refrigeration: warm compartments, freezers that stop freezing, water inside the cabinet, units that never switch off, and ice makers that quit.
- The fresh-food side reads in the fifties while the freezer beside it stays hard
- A sheet of ice has formed under the crisper drawers and keeps coming back
- It runs without a break and the air from the grille feels warmer than it should
-
02Viking Range Repair
Sealed-burner Viking ranges and rangetops: burners that spark without lighting, simmer that will not hold, flames that turn yellow and sooty, and clicking that carries on after the flame is up.
- One burner sparks and sparks but never catches, while the others light first time
- The simmer flame either roars or goes out as soon as the knob is turned down
- The igniters keep clicking even though every burner is already lit
-
03Viking Oven Repair
Viking wall ovens and range ovens: temperatures that drift, preheats that drag, elements that glow in patches, convection faults and doors that no longer close tight.
- The dial says 350 but a thermometer on the middle rack shows far less
- Preheat takes an age, and the ready signal sounds before the oven is really hot
- The broil element glows at one end and stays dark at the other
-
04Viking Dishwasher Repair
Viking panel-ready and stainless dishwashers: water left in the tub, cycles that stop part-way, spray arms that no longer clean, and leaks traced to their source.
- An inch of water is still sitting in the tub when the cycle ends
- Glasses come out gritty and the top rack is still wet
- The cycle stops halfway, shows a code for a moment, then resets
Which part of Kirkland are you in?
This site covers Kirkland only, from Finn Hill down to Bridle Trails. Each place has its own page on what its kitchens tend to hold.
- Finn Hill 98034 The wooded hill above Juanita Bay, inside Kirkland since the 2011 annexation, where garage refrigerators work alongside kitchen ones.
- Juanita 98034 Split-levels and mid-century remodels around Juanita Bay, many on their second Viking kitchen.
- Totem Lake 98034 Newer townhouses and mixed-use blocks north of NE 124th, often fitted with a full Viking kitchen from the start.
- Moss Bay 98033 Downtown and the waterfront blocks, where condo kitchens are narrow and most refrigeration sits behind a custom panel.
- Houghton 98033 The south end of town between the lakeshore and Bridle Trails, where remodelled kitchens hold panel-ready built-ins.
- Bridle Trails 98033 The Kirkland side of Bridle Trails (98033): large lots, custom homes and refrigeration that works hard.

What did Kirkland owners say once it was fixed?
5.0 / 51,429 ratings
Simmer would not hold on two burners. It turned out to be pressure at the regulator, not the burners at all. Booked at nine, sorted by one, and the caps left cleaner than he found them.
Ines R.
Ice maker filled but dropped small hollow cubes that stuck together in the bin. The fill valve was weak and the water line had a kink from the original install. Cubes are solid again.
Thea K.
Simmer dropped out completely on the left side, then roared back. A burner orifice partly blocked since the install. Half an hour and it held low all evening.

What do Kirkland owners ask first?
What does a visit cost?
A flat $89, which buys the trip and the whole diagnosis. Say yes to the repair and the $89 comes off its price; it is a separate charge only when you decide against fixing the unit. Call Viking Repair Kirkland on (425) 629-0033: the full figure is in writing before any panel comes off.
When can I reach someone, and when do technicians visit?
The phone line is answered 24/7, so you can book at midnight when the freezer starts dripping. Technicians visit between 8am and 8pm on every day of the week, Sunday included, and your appointment falls inside that window. The number is (425) 629-0033, or use the booking page.
Which Viking refrigerators do you repair?
Built-in side-by-side and bottom-freezer units, refrigerator and freezer columns, French-door freestanding models, and the indoor undercounter family: refrigerators, drawers, wine cellars, beverage centers and ice machines. Outdoor-rated units are outside this site's work. Not sure which one you own? Viking Repair Kirkland can tell from the model number on the tag.
Is a warm Viking usually a dead compressor?
Usually not. Most warm Vikings that Viking Repair Kirkland opens need a fan motor or a defrost part, which sit in a far lower band than a compressor. The compressor is the last suspect, checked after the fans, the defrost system and the controls have been measured. Ring (425) 629-0033 before budgeting for the worst.
Do you handle refrigerant and sealed-system work?
Yes. The sealed system is the closed loop of compressor, tubing and refrigerant, and the technician who opens one is certified under EPA Section 608. It is also the most expensive band on this site, so it is quoted only after a leak or a failed compressor has been confirmed, never on a guess.
Will a panel-ready unit come out without marking the cabinets?
Getting a custom-panelled Viking out cleanly is part of the job, not an extra. Panels come off in order, their screws are kept with them, and they go back on the same fixings. If an earlier installer left a stripped hole, you hear about it before the panel is refitted, not afterwards.
Are you connected with Viking Range, LLC?
No. Viking Repair Kirkland is an independent repair business. It is not an authorised Viking service agent and Viking Range, LLC has not endorsed it; the Viking name appears here only because it is the equipment being repaired. Genuine Viking parts are ordered against your model and serial number.
What helps before you ring?
The model and serial number from the unit's tag, if you can find it; if not, say so and the technician reads it on arrival. Then describe what the unit is doing, how long it has been at it, and what changed just before it started. (425) 629-0033 takes it from there.
Who is Viking Repair Kirkland, on paper?

-
Measured, then priced
Compartment temperatures, fan and defrost circuits and the controls are checked before anyone talks about a part. The price follows the reading.
-
Refrigerant work, properly
Sealed-system work — the closed refrigerant loop — is done by a technician certified under EPA Section 608, and only after the fault has been confirmed.
-
On paper
Licensed, bonded and insured. Ask, and we give you the licence number. The written quote lists the part and the labour to fit it, and you read that figure before anything is dismantled.
