Worthless customer service. Promises warranty repairs thru a 3rd party but 3rd party never responds to them. Has been going on for 4 months now.

Do not pay the outrageously high price for Viking kitchen appliances! Not only are they expensive, they are unsafe. After only six years the bottom freezer door handle on my Series 5 Model RVRF3361SS2 fridge disengaged and threw me back against my center island. Since the injury was not serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital (but sure hurt!) they would not even cover the repair cost let alone show any concern for my safety because the fridge is only warrantied for one year. Now I deeply regret that all the appliances in my remodeled kitchen are Series 5 Viking appliances. I will never buy anything from this company! And if you care about your family's safety you shouldn't either.

I'm a luxury home builder in Arizona and installed Viking appliances in my home 13 years ago. They have been nothing but problems since day one. I have finally reached my limit which has motivated me to write this message. I've ended up living with some things that don't work properly but with such an expensive line of products this should not be acceptable. My most recent problem is the built in refrigerator is frosting up in the back and I'm being told the evaporator is bad and will cost $1500 to replace. Viking is saying the part is a year out of warranty and not offering any help. I have had enough and removing all the appliances and replacing them with another brand. I will never use Viking appliances in any home from here on out. After installing just about every brand out there in the homes I've built, I would recommend to anyone looking for new appliances to consider any brand other then Viking. I hope this helps in your decision process. K. Johnson Arizona

We inherited a complete Viking kitchen when we purchased a house built in 2004. EVERY SINGLE Viking item (Commercial grade side-by-side refrigerator, Range, Oven, Hood, Wine Refrigerator, Dishwasher, and Microwave) has either failed or had an issue requiring an EXPENSIVE repairs. In just 10 years the refrigerator rusted a hole through the back, causing water to leak out from underneath the unit on a nearly daily basis. We simply replaced the refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave since they were beyond salvaging for family usage. We are still stuck with the Range, and it has an issue where the autopilot won't ignite the gas on at least two of the burners, requiring nearly 30 seconds at times before the gas ignites (and we get a frightening show, mind you...). Any reader should be aware that Viking positioned itself in the high-end, luxury, commercial-grade kitchen appliance niche with these extremely expensive units. Their sturdy good looks suggest durability and usability. However, our experience, was clearly the opposite. I had appliances in college that were far superior in performance and reliability. I know Viking is aware of the Range ignition problem because there was something like unto a recall on some units similar to, but outside, of our actual Range. Great. I've "heard" that the abysmal quality was related to some change in management, and that it is all different now, that Viking is once again a tremendous quality appliance. WE will NEVER KNOW, because I'd have to think LONG and HARD IF Viking chose to PAY ME to have Viking appliances again. I doubt I'd agree. I hope for the sake of their employees that they aren't pumping out those fraudulent excuses for kitchen appliances anymore!
