Top issue that disturbs many Viking refrigerators is improper temperature when the appliance doesn’t cool. If your Viking refrigerator is too warm, start by setting the refrigerator control to the next lower number by pressing the DOWN button. Wait 30 minutes to see if the refrigerator starts cooling properly. Certainly, this step will help unless your appliance works normally and there is no breakdown. Start diagnostic with checking condenser coils. The condenser coils are responsible for dissipating heat from the refrigerator as the refrigerant passes through them. When the condenser coils get dirty, they are unable to work efficiently. When the condenser coils no longer dissipate heat efficiently, your refrigerator won’t maintain a proper temperature. If your Viking refrigerator won’t cool properly, first check to see if the condenser coils are clean and free from debris. If they are dirty, disconnect from the power supply and clean them. Then, a thermistor check goes. If you’ve found your Viking refrigerator warm, the thermistor may be defective. The thermistor monitors the refrigerator temperature and initiates the regulation of other refrigerator components. If the thermistor isn’t working properly, the compressor and evaporator fan may not run when they should. You can test the thermistor with a multimeter to determine if it has continuity. If the thermistor does not have continuity, it needs to be replaced. Finally, make sure an evaporator fan isn’t malfunctioning. After disconnecting the power supply, try manually turning the evaporator fan blade. If the blade does not turn freely, or if you’ve noticed it’s too noisy, you’d be wise to replace the evaporator fan motor. Get a professional diagnostic from our maintenance assistance!
