Viking Range, the Greenwood, Mississippi maker of professional-style kitchen equipment, builds ranges, rangetops, wall ovens, cooktops, ventilation, built-in and undercounter refrigeration, wine storage, ice machines, dishwashers and outdoor grills. That is the Viking this page is about, and a kitchen is the only place you will find us working on one.
It is worth saying plainly, because the name is not unique: there is also a Viking in Indian River County, about two hundred miles south of Jacksonville, and people looking for a furnace or an air-conditioning contractor down there keep landing here. We are not that. We do not repair furnaces, air handlers, heat pumps or ductwork anywhere, under any badge — kitchen appliances are the whole trade, and an HVAC contractor is who you want for the other thing.
In Northeast Florida the outdoor half of that product list matters more than it would almost anywhere else in the country.
A summer kitchen on a lot in Marsh Landing, Isle of Palms or Queen’s Harbour is exposed to something an indoor appliance never sees: air carrying chloride off the Atlantic, every day, all year. That single difference reorders the fault list.
The coastal ZIPs in our area — 32082, 32250, 32266, 32233 and 32084 — sit close enough to the ocean that airborne salt deposits on any surface with a view of the sky. Rain does not wash it off; it dissolves it and carries it into seams.
What that does, in order:
Fresh-water rinsing of exposed stainless and fin stacks on a monthly schedule is worth more than any repair. It is unglamorous and it works.
Viking’s open-burner ranges are built to be serviced, which is genuinely useful. The burner caps, bases and ports lift out for cleaning. In a climate this humid, they need it: moisture plus cooking residue in a burner port produces a lazy yellow flame, uneven heat, and a burner that will not light on the first click.
If a burner has gone soft after a run of wet weather, cleaning the ports and drying the igniter electrode fixes it more often than a part does. If the problem is on every burner simultaneously, we look at the spark module and the gas pressure at the manifold with a manometer, not at the burners.
Viking built-in refrigeration fails here the way all built-in refrigeration fails here: a condenser blanketed in lint from a house running air conditioning most of the year, a gasket that stopped sealing, or a defrost circuit that cannot keep ahead of the moisture load.
Outdoor and garage installations add the harder version of the same problem. An undercounter refrigerator or ice machine under a counter in afternoon sun rejects its heat into hot, still air in a confined space, through a fin stack that collects whatever the outdoors puts in it. Production falls, run time climbs, and a stack that would be merely dirty indoors becomes the fault itself. Where the unit is not specified for an outdoor installation, that gap stops being theoretical in July.
The ice machines are the most demanding thing in the group, because each batch has to be frozen onto a plate and then released off it by warming that plate. Both halves of the cycle lengthen when heat rejection is compromised, and the first thing the homeowner notices is a bin that no longer fills overnight. Clearing the grille and the fin stack on a schedule prevents more of these calls than any part we fit.
Visits start with an $80 flat diagnostic, credited toward the repair when you approve the work, and a written estimate before any part is ordered. Genuine OEM parts, 90 days on labor, 365 days on parts. Sealed-system work is run by an EPA Section 608 certified technician, as federal law requires.
Every call we take in Northeast Florida is a built-in kitchen appliance: built-in refrigeration , ice machines , dishwashers , wall ovens and ranges and cooktops and ventilation . Refrigeration, ice, dishwashing, baking, cooking and the hood over it — six things a kitchen does, and the machines that do them.
We do not work on heating, air conditioning, ductwork or heat pumps. That is a separate trade with a separate licence, and no amount of overlap in the vocabulary changes it: a condenser in a refrigerator and a condenser in an air handler are not the same machine, and we only open one of them. We do not take laundry calls either. If the fault is in your furnace, your air handler or the ducts, a licensed HVAC contractor is who you want — we would rather say that now than at your kitchen door.
Viking on this page is Viking Range, the professional-style kitchen appliance manufacturer. It is not Viking, Florida, the community in Indian River County about two hundred miles south of Jacksonville — if you were looking for a furnace or an air-conditioning contractor there, this is the wrong page and we are the wrong trade.
One fee to find out: $80, flat, and it comes off the bill the moment you say go ahead. Past that, Viking repair work across this coast sits between $180 and $990, and where inside that band a job lands is decided by the part that failed rather than by the badge on the door.
The same table applies whichever badge is on the door — what moves the figure is which part failed, not whose name is on it.
| Repair | Parts and labor |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic visit, flat | $80 |
| Igniter, spark module or surface element | $200–$570 |
| Oven thermostat or temperature sensor | $180–$570 |
| Electronic control board | $440–$990 |
| Convection fan or motor | $270–$730 |
You get a written estimate before any part is ordered or any labor begins. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
Typed the way it is typed, priced from the table above. None of these phrases implies a Viking appointment of any kind — they are the faults we are called out to on this equipment.
Every figure below is a row of the table on this page, narrowed to the repair the symptom leads to. The $80 diagnostic decides which row you are actually in, and it comes off the bill once you approve the work.
| What you would call it | The repair it leads to | Parts and labor |
|---|---|---|
| Viking igniter clicking but not sparking | Igniter, spark module or surface element | $200–$570 |
| Viking oven not holding its set temperature | Oven thermostat or temperature sensor | $180–$570 |
| Viking range control panel unresponsive | Electronic control board | $440–$990 |
| Viking convection fan noisy | Convection fan or motor | $270–$730 |
$80 to come out and find the fault, credited back the moment the repair is approved. The work itself lands between $180 and $990 on this kind of equipment — $200–$570 for igniter, spark module or surface element, $270–$730 for convection fan or motor — and which of those it turns out to be is the thing the visit settles. Your own number goes in writing before a part is ordered.
No. We are an independent repair company: not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Viking or any other manufacturer named on this site. Naming a brand identifies an appliance we repair and nothing more. EPA Section 608 certified technicians run every sealed-system job we take.
Viking Range is the professional-kitchen appliance maker, not the Florida town of the same name, and here it is the brand most likely to be outdoors — so salt air, rain and a summer heat load head the fault list. The calls that come in most are open burner failing to light or burning yellow after damp weather, and oven cavity drifting well below the set point over a full cycle.
Our own work carries 90 days on labor and 365 days on the parts we fit, and we fit genuine OEM parts only. That is our warranty rather than a manufacturer warranty, and it neither extends nor replaces one. If the same fault comes back inside those terms, the return visit is ours.
Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 101 customer reviews. Every entry below is one appointment, written up afterwards by the householder whose kitchen it happened in.
Every one of these was a visit to this make of appliance.
Cubes were hollow and soft. He set the water level correctly, replaced a tired pump and cleaned the evaporator face. He also showed me how to run the clean cycle so it does not get to that state again.

Production had been falling all summer and the machine sits in an outdoor kitchen. He cleaned the condenser, replaced the fan motor and was honest that the heat here will always make this unit work harder.

The outdoor kitchen unit filled and then did nothing. Harvest thermostat had drifted and the drain was silted up with salt and sand. He replaced the one part, flushed the line and it has cycled properly ever since.
