28 jobs, priced from, across eleven appliance types

What we repair on a Viking, and what each job involves.

This make puts a sealed refrigeration system and an open gas burner in the same kitchen, so the list below covers two trades rather than one. Every page says what the work actually is, what it starts at, and what is worth checking before paying anybody. The diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and no exact price is given before an appliance has been looked at.

The work

Every job we do, with what it starts at

A job specific to one appliance has its own page with that appliance attached. There is no grid of eleven appliances times twenty-eight jobs, because most of those combinations are not work anybody does.

  • A technician reading a cooktop control panel with a socket set open on the counter beside him
    from $95

    Diagnostic visit

    One visit that ends with a named cause, a figure and a decision — and the fee comes off the bill if you go ahead with the work.

    • Credited against the repair
    • A written figure before anything is ordered
    • Ten appliance types, one rate
    What this involves
  • An open gas burner burning under a heavy cast grate
    from $175

    Open burner repair

    The burner this make is known for: grates, bowls and burner heads that lift out by hand. Most of what goes wrong up there is reachable, and a real share of it costs the visit and nothing else.

    • Every port cleared, not just the visible ones
    • Flame checked hot and at simmer
    • Burner heads seated and proved
    What this involves
  • A sealed gas burner alight on a stainless cooktop, cap and ring in focus
    from $165

    Sealed burner & igniter repair

    The sealed gas top: igniters that click without lighting, a simmer that will not hold, a burner that goes out under a lid. None of it shows a code, because this maker publishes none for gas.

    • Igniter and electrode tested individually
    • Simmer proved on the low setting
    • Caps and ports checked before parts
    What this involves
  • A stainless range with a row of control knobs above its oven door and cast grates on top
    from $225

    Dual fuel range repair

    Gas above, electric below, one control answering for both — and two halves that fail independently. Which half is misbehaving is the first question and it decides everything after it.

    • Both halves tested, not just the one that failed
    • Cavity named on a double oven
    • Gas side diagnosed by behavior, electric side by code
    What this involves
  • Two burners alight side by side across a professional rangetop
    from $185

    Rangetop repair

    The burner deck off a range, set into a counter with cabinets underneath. Same burners and grates as the range — and reaching the manifold means lifting it out of the stone.

    • Burners and simmer proved individually
    • Access planned before the visit
    • Counter and surround protected
    What this involves
  • A wide stainless griddle plate with its control knobs below the front rail
    from $175

    Griddle & grill plate repair

    The griddle in the middle of a wide range or rangetop — the surface that gets used least and reported most, because a griddle that has not been asked to heat since the holidays is the one that will not.

    • Heat proved across the whole plate
    • Thermostat measured rather than adjusted by feel
    • Plate leveled before it is signed off
    What this involves
  • An empty pan standing on a black glass cooktop set into a stone worktop
    from $245

    Induction cooktop repair

    One generator per zone, each reporting for itself — so a dead zone is one module rather than a broken cooktop. And a real share of these calls turn out to be the pan.

    • The pan ruled out before anything is opened
    • Zone-by-zone, because each has its own generator
    • Cabinet ventilation checked, which is half of the heat conditions
    What this involves
  • A radiant element glowing red on a black glass cooktop with control knobs alongside
    from $185

    Electric cooktop repair

    The radiant tops with a timer display — the ones that write an F and one more letter into it. That single character separates a spill under the glass from a relay that has welded.

    • The code read before anything is opened
    • Elements measured individually
    • Control area dried and retested before parts
    What this involves
  • A gloved hand working across the glass surface of a ceramic cooktop
    from $395

    Cooktop glass replacement

    A cracked ceramic surface on a radiant or induction top. Not cosmetic — a crack on an induction surface is a reason to stop using the zone rather than to live with it.

    • Model-specific glass, measured before ordering
    • Zones and sensing re-seated to the new surface
    • The old surface removed without damaging the stone
    What this involves
  • A technician with a screwdriver at the fascia of a built-in oven, its door standing open
    from $195

    Oven element & sensor repair

    An oven that sets a temperature and stays cold, or heats faithfully to the wrong number. On this make the display frequently names the part outright — RTD ERROR is the sensor, in words.

    • Bake, broil and convection tested separately
    • Sensor resistance measured, not estimated
    • The cavity named on a double oven
    What this involves
  • A built-in wall oven standing open on its hinges in a bright kitchen
    from $215

    Oven door latch repair

    A door locked after a self-clean, or a latch the control cannot move. This make publishes it as LATCH ERROR, in words, which is as clear as a diagnosis gets.

    • Door opened without damaging the front
    • Latch motor and switch tested separately
    • Self-clean proved before it is signed off
    What this involves
  • The loaded door shelf of a refrigerator standing open, milk bottles in the rack
    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
    What this involves
  • The empty black cavity of an oven with two fan covers on the back wall
    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
    What this involves
  • A technician in safety glasses working on the control side of a built-in oven
    from $345

    Control board replacement

    The repair people assume it is and it usually is not. A board is proved by eliminating what it drives — and on this make a control condition that survives a proper power cycle is a different thing from one that does not.

    • Everything the board drives eliminated first
    • A genuine five-minute power cycle before any part is ordered
    • Configuration set on replacement, which is its own condition here
    What this involves
  • A measure of descaling powder going into a pan of simmering water
    from $145

    Steam oven descaling

    The maintenance job that prevents the expensive one. This water is harder than the interval the oven calculates from, so the appliance asks late and the boiler pays for it.

    • The agent the maker names, not vinegar
    • Full cycle run and proved
    • The interval reset to what this water actually needs
    What this involves
  • The keypad and dials of a built-in combination microwave oven beside its glass door
    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
    What this involves
  • A technician in overalls working on the underside of a kitchen extractor hood with a screwdriver
    from $165

    Range hood & downdraft repair

    Motors, capacitors, lamps, filters and dampers — and on a downdraft, a lift mechanism that rises out of the counter. The cheap end of this list, and it should read that way.

    • Motor and capacitor tested separately
    • Baffle filters and the duct path checked
    • Downdraft lift serviced as its own mechanism
    What this involves
  • A brightly lit refrigerator interior holding fruit and a bottle of milk
    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
    What this involves
  • A technician opening the door of a stainless refrigerator in a bright kitchen
    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
    What this involves
  • A glass-fronted wine column set flush into a white cabinetry run beside the kitchen
    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
    What this involves
  • A hand holding a glass under a dispenser as it fills with ice
    from $195

    Ice machine repair

    Clear ice and nugget ice are made two different ways behind the same panel. Both are plumbed, both drain, and both are working against this city's water.

    • Water in and water out both checked, because both are required
    • Clear-ice and nugget mechanisms treated as the different machines they are
    • Scale addressed rather than worked around
    What this involves
  • A scoop resting in crushed ice beside a tall glass of clear water
    from $145

    Ice machine drain & descale

    The maintenance visit that keeps the repair visit away. Scale, the drain path and the bin — the three things this water and this climate work on hardest.

    • Cleaning cycle with the agent the maker names
    • Drain path cleared and proved, not just inspected
    • Bin and reservoir sanitized
    What this involves
  • Bottles lying on the racks of a glass-fronted wine cabinet
    from $215

    Wine cellar repair

    Single-zone and dual-zone cabinets, glass doors, and a temperature that has to be right rather than merely cold. On a two-zone unit the code means something different from what it means anywhere else on this make.

    • Zone-by-zone, because the codes differ between them
    • Glass door and seal treated as a real thermal load
    • Set points read before anything is called wrong
    What this involves
  • A technician opening a loaded dishwasher door under a wooden worktop
    from $175

    Dishwasher drain & fill repair

    Water that will not go out, or will not come in. Nearly all of it is in the plumbing rather than in the machine — which is why counting the two flashing lights before we arrive saves a visit surprisingly often.

    • The flash count read before anything is opened
    • Disposal, hose loop and filters checked first
    • Fill pressure measured at the tap
    What this involves
  • The empty racks and floor of a dishwasher tub with the door lowered
    from $265

    Dishwasher pump & motor repair

    The wash motor, the drain pump and the diverter that sends water to one rack or the other. When one rack comes out clean and the other does not, this is usually why.

    • Diverter tested rack by rack
    • Drain pump cleared rather than only replaced
    • Motor control separated from the motor
    What this involves
  • Tongs turning steaks on the grates of a stainless outdoor grill
    from $185

    BBQ grill repair

    Built-in gas grills in a masonry island, in salt air, publishing no code of any kind. Ignition, burners and the rotisserie — and a frank conversation about surface rust, which the maker itself warns about.

    • Every burner and the ProSear tested individually
    • Ignition hardware treated as a wear part in this climate
    • Surface rust identified honestly, not repaired as a failure
    What this involves
  • A technician leaning under a gas cooktop to check the cabinet below it, notes on the worktop
    from $145

    Appliance maintenance

    One visit that covers the intervals this climate shortens: condensers, filters, descaling, burner ports and the drain paths. It is the visit that keeps the other twenty-six away.

    • Condensers cleaned on every cold appliance in the kitchen
    • Descaling on anything with a water side
    • Burner ports and grill hardware checked before the season
    What this involves
  • A technician sliding a built-in oven into its cabinet opening in a white kitchen
    from $225

    Appliance installation

    Built-in equipment set into cabinetry, leveled, connected and proved. On this make that includes the two things that cause the most trouble later: ventilation under a cooktop, and a drain for an ice machine.

    • Leveled properly, which several appliances here measure by
    • Ventilation clearances confirmed against the instructions
    • Panels and grille kits set square
    What this involves

Two trades, one badge

The cold half and the hot half are not the same job.

Most of the makes we work on do one or the other. This one does both, and it does them in the same room: a pair of refrigeration columns down one wall and a professional range with an open burner down the other. A sealed system is measured in pressures and currents; an open burner is diagnosed by taking it apart in your hand. Different tools, different parts, different figures.

Which is why the appliance is named when the visit is booked rather than after. It decides what comes on the van, and it is the difference between one appointment and two.

What each repair costs

Why some figures are lower than you expect

The work sets the price, not the badge on the front.

A hood motor is a hood motor whatever name is on the appliance, and the ventilation pages here are priced accordingly. So is a dishwasher drain, which is usually in the plumbing rather than in the machine. What genuinely costs more on this equipment is a sealed refrigeration system inside a paneled column, an induction generator that is a power supply in its own right, and a professional chassis somebody has to work around in place.

Where a job is cheap on this equipment — a burner cap seated wrong, a pan that is not induction cookware, a drain hose without its high loop, a cooling fan doing exactly what it should — the page says so, and says it before you have paid for a visit to hear it.

By appliance, if you would rather

Eleven kinds of appliance under one badge, from a professional range to a wine cellar, and the work differs between them more than the job names suggest.

  • A stainless professional gas range with eight knobs and cast grates, built into a white kitchen run
    Open burner · Sealed burner · Dual fuel · Electric · Induction · 24" to 66"

    Ranges

    The appliance this brand is named for, and the one place it does something nobody else does: an open burner that comes apart in your hands. Gas, dual fuel, all-electric and induction are all sold under the same badge, and a range that will not light and a range that will not heat are two completely different visits.

    • A burner that sparks and never catches
    • An oven that will not reach or hold temperature
    • A door still locked hours after a self-clean
    Range repair
  • A wide five-burner gas cooktop set into a granite counter above white cabinetry
    Gas · Electric · Induction · Professional rangetop · 24" to 48"

    Cooktops & rangetops

    Two appliances and one word. A rangetop is a range's burner deck with cabinetry under it instead of an oven; a cooktop is the lighter equipment that drops into a worktop. Gas, electric and induction behind them fail in three unrelated ways, and only one of the three is really about heat.

    • A zone that shuts itself down mid-cook
    • The surface refusing to see a pan
    • Controls locked, or answering a wet cloth
    Cooktop repair
  • A stainless built-in oven and microwave stacked in a tall run of matte cabinetry
    Single · Double · French-door · RVL steam · Warming drawer

    Wall ovens & warming drawers

    Built-in ovens in every configuration this brand has sold — single, double, French-door, and the RVL steam oven that stacks with them — plus the warming drawer underneath, which is repaired here even though it has no card of its own. On a double oven the first question is always which of the two cavities.

    • One cavity of a double not heating
    • Temperature that is wrong rather than absent
    • A warming drawer that stays cold
    Oven repair
  • A hand drawing out the glass visor of a slimline extractor hood to reach its filters
    Wall · Chimney · Island · Liner · Rear downdraft · Ceiling

    Ventilation

    Wall hoods, chimney hoods, the liners hidden inside joinery, ceiling units and the rear downdrafts that rise out of the counter. It is the shortest parts list in the kitchen — motor, capacitor, switch, lights, damper, filters — and the appliance most likely to be quietly running at half its output for a year.

    • A blower that hums and will not turn
    • Speeds that no longer change
    • Grease finding its way back into the room
    Range hood repair
  • A built-in microwave and a coffee system in a tall stainless housing beside a fitted refrigerator column
    Built-in · Convection · Microwave hood · Drawer

    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.

    • A door latch that no longer starts the cycle
    • A drawer that opens part-way and stops
    • It runs, it lights, and nothing gets hot
    Microwave repair
  • The inside of a refrigerator with fruit and vegetables on glass shelves and door bins alongside
    Side-by-side · Bottom-freezer · French-door · Integrated · Undercounter

    Built-in refrigeration

    The largest part of this brand's catalog and the appliance most likely to be built into the joinery rather than standing in a gap. Side-by-sides, French-door and bottom-freezer columns, fully integrated units behind cabinet panels, and the undercounter refrigerators and drawers that run down an island.

    • A fridge cooling while the freezer does not
    • Water at the dispenser stopping
    • Ice on the back wall, or water under the drawer
    Refrigerator repair
  • Three packed shelves inside a freezer column, bagged vegetables stacked front to back
    All Freezer · Custom panel · Fully integrated · 30" and 36"

    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.

    • A column that has drifted warm without warning
    • Frost building where it never used to
    • The ice maker inside it stopping first
    Freezer repair
  • A tall glass-fronted wine cabinet integrated into a dark cabinetry run, lit from inside
    Undercounter · Full-height · Glass door · Solid door · Single and dual zone

    Wine cellars

    Undercounter cellars of 24 and 45 bottles, full-height units, glass-door and solid-door models, single and dual zone. The mechanism is refrigeration; the requirement is not. A cellar that holds 48°F instead of 55°F is failing at its only job while looking completely normal.

    • A zone holding the wrong temperature
    • Condensation inside the glass
    • A compressor that runs and runs
    Wine cellar repair
  • A metal scoop resting in a bin of clear machine-made ice
    Clear ice · Nugget ice · Undercounter · Panel ready · With drain pump

    Ice machines

    A plumbed appliance with a drain, which is what separates it from the ice maker inside a freezer and explains most of what goes wrong with it. Clear ice up to 65 pounds a day, nugget up to 80, and a bin that holds 26 — so a machine that seems slow is often a machine that is draining badly.

    • Production falling off without stopping
    • Water where it should not be
    • Ice that is cloudy, small or fused together
    Ice machine repair
  • A dishwasher standing open in a white fitted kitchen, both racks loaded with clean china
    Stainless front · Panel ready · Undercounter · 18" and 24"

    Dishwashers

    Stainless-fronted and panel-ready models, all of them Energy Star, all built around a variable-speed motor that changes water pressure with the cycle. It is also the appliance in this line most likely to report an error on its own display, which makes the first phone call much shorter.

    • A cycle that stops part-way with water in the tub
    • Dishes coming out gritty or still wet
    • A code on the panel and a cycle that will not start
    Dishwasher repair
  • The control knobs of a built-in gas grill, marked from Min to Max with the ignition symbol beside each
    Built-in · Freestanding · Side burners · Natural gas and LP

    Outdoor grills

    Built-in and freestanding gas grills and the side burners beside them — the only appliance on this site that lives in the weather. Ignition and gas account for most of what goes wrong; corrosion accounts for most of what is behind it, and in this service area that is not bad luck, it is the coastline.

    • Ignition that clicks without lighting
    • One burner low or uneven while the rest are fine
    • Rust appearing on stainless that was clean
    Grill repair

Not sure which one you need?

Tell us the model and what the appliance is showing.

Those two things are usually enough for us to say which job it is, what it involves and what it should cost — before anyone comes out. On this make “what it is showing” can be four different things: a token on a display, a message in words, a count of flashes on two lights, or a knob ring gone red. All four are on this site, and all four disappear the moment the power is cut.

Questions about the work

Before you book

How much does a Viking repair cost in Miami?

Every job on this page carries a starting figure for this equipment in South Florida. What moves it is the part, whether the appliance is built into the joinery, and the hours. The exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic and put in writing before anything is opened.

Is the diagnostic credited toward the repair?

Yes. It starts at $95 and comes off the bill when you go ahead. If you decide not to, you pay the diagnostic and nothing else.

Do you cover both the cooking side and the refrigeration?

Yes, and they are two different trades wearing one badge. The hot half is open burners, igniters, elements and ventilation; the cold half is compressors, evaporators, sealed systems, ice machines and wine cellars. Saying which one you have when you call is what gets the right parts on the van.

What is different about an open-burner range?

It comes apart in your hands, which is the point of it and also where most of its calls come from. Caps, grates and the burner bowl all lift out, and a burner that will not light is very often one of them sitting proud after a clean rather than anything broken. It is one of the shortest visits we make.

Can you come to a high-rise or a gated community?

Yes, and it is worth saying when you book. Service elevator windows and building rules shape the schedule as much as the repair does, so we plan the access rather than discover it on the day.

In more detail

What Viking appliance repair involves, job by job

Eleven appliance types, and two different trades

This is the widest badge we cover. Ranges, rangetops and cooktops, wall ovens and warming drawers, ventilation, microwaves, built-in refrigeration, all-freezer columns, wine cellars, ice machines, dishwashers and the grill outside. The cold half and the hot half fail in unrelated ways and are quoted differently, and the twenty-eight rows here say which half a job belongs to before you book.

The cheapest calls are services, and they prevent the dear ones

A condenser choked with dust and salt, a hood filter, a dryer duct, a steam oven descale. None of them is a repair and all of them are on this page deliberately: in this climate they are what keeps a compressor replacement or a boiler repair off your bill. A condenser here does more work for more months of the year than almost anywhere in the country.

Where the money goes on this equipment

The part. An igniter, a lamp, a damper or a door seal at one end; a control board, a compressor or a sealed-system repair at the other. The access. Built-in refrigeration is fitted to the cabinetry, and a column has to come out and go back level. The hours. A professional range between finished ends is a longer appointment than a machine you can roll forward.

What South Florida adds

Heat and salt, and the ice machine feels both first. Near the water, condenser coils, burner caps and igniters corrode years ahead of schedule, and the outdoor grill lives in all of it all year. The consequence is not dramatic: it is that maintenance which would be annual elsewhere is seasonal here, and the visits that get skipped are the ones that would have been cheap.

What every visit includes

The condition is reproduced rather than assumed, the free causes are checked in front of you, and the scope and the figure are in writing before anything is opened. Where a repair approaches the value of the appliance you get told that instead of quoted. We guarantee the work we performed and the parts we fitted, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

Book the visit, or ask first.

The diagnostic starts at $95 and comes off the bill when you go ahead with the work.
