Viking all Freezer columns
A card of its own because on this brand a freezer usually is its own appliance: a full-height All Freezer column standing beside an All Refrigerator, the two joined under one grille kit so they look like a single unit. When one of the pair stops, the other keeps working, and nothing about the kitchen looks different.

What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Viking all Freezer columns
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic — and this is not the whole list of what can go wrong, so call if your problem is not here.
-
from $175 Door seal & hinge repair
The cheapest thing on any of these appliances and the most commonly to blame. A door a few millimeters off its seal costs heat on an oven and costs everything on a column refrigerator.
- Seals checked along their whole length
- Hinges reset rather than only replaced
- Custom panels squared on their brackets
-
from $495 Refrigerator sealed system repair
Compressor, condenser, evaporator and the refrigerant between them. The most serious repair on the cold half, and the one where an honest answer about whether it is worth doing matters most.
- Everything outside the sealed system eliminated first
- Recovery and recharge done to the plate figure
- A frank answer on whether it is worth the money
-
from $225 Refrigerator cooling & defrost repair
Frost where there should not be any, one compartment warm and the other cold, a cabinet that runs and never quite gets there. Almost all of it is outside the sealed system and most of it is affordable.
- Condenser and fans checked before anything is opened
- Defrost circuit tested end to end
- Dampers and airflow proved between compartments
-
from $165 Refrigerator door & panel alignment
Panel-ready columns, a pair of doors that have to line up with each other and with the cabinetry, and a grille kit that makes two appliances read as one. Getting that right is its own job.
- Both columns aligned to each other, not just to the wall
- Custom panels reset square on their brackets
- Door alarms proved silent afterwards

About Viking all Freezer columns
Why the freezer gets its own page here
On most brands a freezer is the bottom half of a refrigerator and there is nothing to say about it separately. On this one it is frequently a full-height column of its own: an All Freezer beside an All Refrigerator, custom-paneled or fully integrated, joined by a grille kit into what looks like a single very large appliance. Two machines, two compressors, two ways to fail — and one of them failing changes nothing you can see from the kitchen.
What actually goes wrong
- Drifting warm over a day or two. Defrost, a fan, or a seal. Call early; the food is the expensive part.
- Frost where there was none. Moisture getting in — the gasket first, tested with a sheet of paper.
- Running constantly. A condenser thick with dust, or a door not quite closing on a full drawer.
- The ice maker stopping before anything else does. Often the earliest sign that the compartment is not as cold as the display says.
What to have ready
Whether it is a freezer column or the freezer half of a combined unit, its width, and how long it has been drifting. If it is one of a pair, tell us what the other half is doing — the answer usually tells us where to look.

Questions about viking all Freezer columns
The two doors look like one appliance. Are they?
No — and this catches people out. An All Refrigerator and an All Freezer are two complete appliances, each with its own compressor and its own controls, installed side by side under a top grille kit that makes them read as one. They are sold in 30 and 36 inch widths and the kits come in 60, 66 and 72 inches to suit the pairing. If one half has gone warm, the other half being perfect tells you nothing at all.
How quickly should I call if it is drifting warm?
Straight away, because a freezer full of food is worth more than the repair. A column drifting up over a day or two is usually a defrost problem, a fan or a seal — none of them dramatic, all of them progressive. The expensive version of this call is the one made after everything inside has thawed.
There is frost on the shelves and the walls that was never there before.
Frost is moisture that got in, which in this climate means a door that is not sealing or one being opened a lot in a humid kitchen. Check the gasket by closing the door on a sheet of paper and pulling — if it slides out anywhere, the seal is the job. If the gasket is sound, the defrost system is next.
Does the ice maker inside the freezer count as the ice machine?
No, and it is worth separating them. An ice maker inside a freezer column is part of that appliance. A Viking ice machine is a plumbed, drained unit of its own that lives under a counter — different appliance, different page, different repair.
