# Viking microwaves

Countertop models set into a trim kit, convection models, drawer models and the microwave hoods that do two jobs at once. The mechanical half — doors, latches, turntables, drawer mechanisms, touch panels — is ordinary repair work. The high-voltage half is not, and is the one part of a kitchen nobody should open.

What we do on it

## Repairs we carry out on Viking microwaves

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 $205
					Convection & cooling fan repair

					The fan that does half the cooking on convection, and the one that keeps the electronics alive. Two fans, two very different consequences when one stops.

														Convection tested against bake, which halves the diagnosis

														Cooling fan run-on checked before it is called a problem

														Bearings and drive tested separately

### Convection & cooling fan repair

The fan that does half the cooking on convection, and the one that keeps the electronics alive. Two fans, two very different consequences when one stops.

- Convection tested against bake, which halves the diagnosis
- Cooling fan run-on checked before it is called a problem
- Bearings and drive tested separately
- from $185
					Microwave & speed oven repair

					Built-in microwaves, drawer microwaves and combi-speed ovens. Three appliances in one cavity means three ways for it to half-work, and which one it is decides most of the diagnosis.

														Heating tested with a measured load, not by feel

														Drawer mechanism serviced as its own job

														Sensor programs separated from the oven itself

## About Viking microwaves

### Four kinds of microwave under one badge

Built-in and trimmed, convection, drawer models, and the microwave hoods that ventilate as well as cook. What can be repaired safely and what cannot divides very cleanly, and we would rather say so before the visit than during it.

### What actually goes wrong

- **Door and latch.** The interlocks must all agree the door is closed. A hinge that has dropped stops the oven starting.
- **Drawer mechanisms.** Rails, motor, position switch — and sometimes an object behind the drawer front.
- **Touch panels.** Heat and steam behind a fascia, which in this climate is a year-round condition.
- **Turntable drive.** Small motor, small money.
- **The high-voltage side.** Magnetron, capacitor, diode, transformer — a technician’s job, always, and on an older machine a decision as much as a repair.

### Trim kits and openings

Most Viking microwaves in a kitchen like this are in a cabinet with a VMTK trim kit around them, in 27 or 30 inches. That is worth knowing before the visit, because a trimmed-in machine does not simply slide forward.

### What to have ready

Whether it is built in, a drawer or a hood model, and what it does when you press start — nothing at all, lights but no heat, or a few seconds and a stop. Those three answers point at three different halves of the appliance.

## Questions about viking microwaves

That is the high-voltage side — magnetron, capacitor, diode or transformer — and it is genuinely the one repair in the kitchen that should never be attempted at home. The capacitor holds a lethal charge after the plug is out. On an older built-in it is also the moment to weigh a repair against a replacement, and we will tell you honestly which way the numbers point.

On a drawer model that is the mechanism, not the microwave: a rail, a motor or a switch that has lost its position. It is repaired far more often than it is replaced, and it is worth checking that nothing has fallen behind the drawer front first — this failure has a habit of being a wooden spoon.

Look at the door before anything else. Every microwave has a stack of interlock switches that must agree the door is shut, and a door that has dropped a hair on its hinge is enough to make one of them disagree. That is a common, cheap and completely safe repair.

Yes — the Professional conventional and convection models can stand on the counter or go into a cabinet with the maker’s VMTK trim kit, made in 27 and 30 inch widths, and the flush look needs that same kit. It can also sit over a built-in wall oven, with a warming, storage or microwave drawer beneath. If yours is trimmed in, tell us: it changes how it comes out.
