But when you need some straight up facts about whether this will work for you, you need some basic questions answered.
Take a look at the Viking FAQs below. Gas models typically last fro 15 years, and electric models 13 years. However, the brand strives to make ranges that last up to 40 years to compete with professional-grade appliances.
The lifespan of a Viking range depends on the amount of care put in. Viking ranges are high-quality, and can potentially last multiple decades when the right specifications are followed. Yes, Viking ranges come in a variety of different colors, depending on their model. Depending upon which model you choose, you have the option to go with a variety of bold colors, including:.
Open burners that you see on Viking ranges is the kind that most commercial cooktops use with visible, open burners that have visible gas ports and flame. Sealed burners are the kind that you see on most home ranges, with the removable ceramic cover to protect your burners against spills.
Both kinds of Viking ranges offer stellar cooking performances, the only way they differ is in the cleaning process. This is on the higher end of residential gas range BTU output. The natural gas models can be converted to LP gas with a converter, but not the other way around. Viking ranges can be ordered in either natural or LP gas.
Viking ovens typically take about three hours to complete the self-clean cycle, but some need an additional 30 minutes to cool off. We advise you to opt for a manual clean instead, to avoid any possible damage from the excessive heat the self-clean feature requires. This is especially true right before the holidays! If you have any more questions regarding your appliances or need to schedule a repair for your Viking, be sure to keep Apex Appliance Service in mind, for the utmost in quick and professional service.
Though Viking dishwashers are synonymous with superior quality, starting issues common to all brands can prevent a wash cycle from the beginning. Most refrigerator and freezer doors, you open them, they feel lightweight and not put together well. The Viking, when you open it up, that door is heavy. It's not heavy like I can't open it. But it feels very substantial, that I have something there that would hold up and done well.

The refrigerator appeared to be nicely made, and it had a very nice exterior finish and design. It also had a good price point relative to other built-in fridges and a very nice incentive plan in effect when we made the purchase.
I went from a freezer combo to this inch side-by-side refrigerator. I love opening a smaller door whenever I go into the refrigerator. I really like the interior lighting and the space at the very bottom which allows you to put in a full pizza pie or deep-dish thing in there.
Even though it's a very shallow fridge, it's got a fairly open spot at the very bottom, which I like a lot. All the bins seem to be very nicely made. I'm pretty happy with the fridge. The only issue I have with the freezer is that the cold air from the freezer compartment coming into the refrigerator comes in at one spot at the top.
So things next to that will have a tendency to freeze, especially if something warm is put somewhere else in the fridge. I bought the Viking refrigerator from Best Buy and they were helpful. They had difficulties in the delivery mostly because of supply shortages and also in terms of getting here in the time frame that my association allows.
The biggest issue I had was that they didn't install the refrigerator properly. They never screwed it in. I went online and figured out how to jack it up, which I did, and leveled it and screwed it in. So all looks great now. But I did most of the installation myself because the guys didn't know how to do it. It didn't bother me that much because I didn't pay a separate installation fee.
But it would have been more helpful if they told me the truth that they aren't gonna install it and I should hire someone to do it.
Our customers expect the very BEST and we work hard to ensure those expectations are met. Thank you for accepting nothing less; we appreciate you as a valued member of the Viking family.
For my kitchen renovation, my design company that they use, Ferguson's and the chain of them here in the southeast, the only ones they had everything in stock was Viking. And when I purchased the stove, I got a free dishwasher. Headquarters had to call a lot and I had to have people here all the time. They were really concerned. When you open the fridge, the drawer to pull out, which is cold and you can keep cheese and meats in it, I cut my fingers and they were concerned and had headquarters call.
And then, the repair people -- everything was free -- coming out all the time from Fort Myers. The guy called it metal burrs that haven't been sanded down.
That was quite a worry. They called me from Mississippi. It's very rare and it just wasn't finished. And depending where you place your fingers, you could cut them on metal to open that inside drawer. So, that was a bad experience. Also, the freezer didn't shut properly and the tech had come out several times. It was the most finite adjustment on something. But I could have lost a couple of hundred bucks worth of food because the alarm kept going off.
And he came and fixed it, and an hour and a half later, the alarm went off again. He thought he fixed it. So, it was really challenging for the Morale in Fort Myers to contract repair people with Viking here in this area. That was maddening. And then, the dishwasher, an extra button for quietness fell right off on the floor, and it was a glue problem.
The Morale had to come again. It's free for me under warranty. It just was disconcerting and all the appliances were brand-new. I heard him talk to headquarters and he said, "Yes it's a glue issue. It's covered in labrador fur and cat hair," which as soon as it started to hang out and the labrador would walk against it and it hung down from the bottom. It didn't seem to make much difference in the quietness. It's an incredibly quiet dishwasher anyway.
But they had to order a new one, so that took a while, and they had to come back and put that in. That was a surprise, all that happened right away. But everything got fixed and I've been very pleased since. It's a super quiet dishwasher and I like the red light that shines on the floor that shows when it's on.
And then, all the new fridges, all brands, the alarm for the freezer and different ways to adjust the temperature of that meat drawer and the freezer.
And then, I like the microwave. It's so nice and simple. There were higher-end ones with the convection fan in the microwave, and I got simplest because I picked over the stove with the vent pan under the microwave. The way my kitchen was designed, it seemed the best route rather than a hood. The stove is unbelievable. This induction stove is the best thing in the planet. I heard good things about them and everybody I know who's renovating was getting new appliances, and new stoves are getting induction, and we're just in shock about it was the fastest we've ever seen to boil water or cook.
So safe, the way the magnetic field isn't hot. The oven is incredibly fast too. It's interesting. You don't have to preheat at all. The fix-it guy is a surprise too.
He was fabulous, a longtime veteran and knows all his Vikings, and he was stunned. He was so puzzled about the freezer not closing. He thought of it truly as a challenge, a puzzle he had to solve. Because when he thought he fixed it, just 90 minutes later, it broke again. So truly, puzzled, and worked on the phone a long time with Viking in Mississippi and tried to solve it.
It was the most infinitesimal thing, some tiny adjustment of a gear in the bottom drawer of the freeze. One tiny little gear off compared to the other side and it meant it couldn't close completely, and then it couldn't stay cold.
That was his first time ever had to have that. Also, the button that fell off, he was also puzzled. We couldn't figure out where it fell off from.
Just one day, I was just looking, and I'd hardly had the dishwasher, and there it was hanging down the bottom, then it came completely off, and I called him up. When he came, "You sure that came from this?

The newer units are much better. Like 1 Save. Curious to know what they say about fan repair cost and life expectancy of the unit. Like Save. Related Discussions Fumes from oil based polyurethane L H I'm having a similar situation. I refinished my floors in July. After 2 months my home was still uninhabitable. I hired a new company to refinish my floors again in Sept.
As they were sanding they realize that they were sanding off oil based Polyurethane and not water. I specifically asked that company for waterbase. I wasn't there to witness what that company put down with the first coat of finish.
I suspected something was not right though, so I made sure I witnessed the final Coats of poly. The final Coats were bona Mega. In my case they used oil poly urethane and covered it up with water poly without proper cure time for the oil. The 2nd company I hired, I purchased the products and everything has been fine until 30 days later.
The old smell is coming back and I'm getting severely ill again. Since July I have not been able to move back into my home. In July and Aug. I had air scrubbers running, I had windows open for 40 days, carbon filters, etc. I never took the floorboards out and that may be the problem that the oil and the water that seeped in, in July, is still offgassing , because it's not cured.
I'm going to try a sealer in the floorboards. If that does not work, I've looked into Bamboo flooring. I'm going to wait a couple more weeks before I decide to rip out my new wood floors.
I'm 4 months into this.
