About the brand
About Viking Refrigerators
Viking Range was founded in Greenwood, Mississippi, and helped bring professional-style ranges into home kitchens. It is now owned by the Middleby Corporation, a large commercial kitchen equipment maker. Viking’s refrigerators are built to match its heavy, stainless pro-style look.
Viking groups its products in series. The 7 Series and 5 Series are built-in professional lines, and the 3 Series offers a more freestanding, lower-cost option. Built-in Viking units usually put the condenser and compressor at the top, behind a grille.
Heavy stainless doors are part of Viking’s style, but they also put more strain on hinges and door closers. Combined with dust on the top condenser, these are the most common reasons we get called to Viking fridges in La Mesa.
For more on how we service built-in units without damaging cabinets, see our built-in refrigerator repair page.
We are an independent refrigerator repair company. We are not affiliated with, or an authorized service center for, Viking. Brand names are used only to describe the appliances we repair.
