Valley Glen Viking Appliance Repair

Viking repair in Valley Glen, post-war houses and the second refrigerator in the garage.

The garage unit lives a harder life

A refrigerator standing in a Valley Glen garage is asked to hold the same temperature as the one indoors while sitting in air that is markedly warmer through the afternoon, opened rarely, and filled heavily when it is. It also breathes whatever dust a garage makes. So when the two get compared and the garage one is judged to be on its way out, it is often doing exactly what its design allows in conditions nobody designed for. The first useful question is not what part has failed but whether the machine was ever intended to stand where it stands.

Why the kitchen machine gets the blame

Households compare the two, and the comparison is rarely a fair one. The kitchen cabinet is opened many times a day, restocked with warm shopping, and sits in a run that also holds an oven. The garage one gets opened twice. When the indoor machine drifts, the instinct is to call it worn out, when what has really changed is how much work it is being given and how much air it has to do that work with. Seeing both where they actually stand separates the machine with a fault from the machine with a workload.

Booking a Valley Glen visit

Tell Viking Repair HQ Los Angeles on (213) 320-7007 which machine you want looked at, and mention the second one so the desk knows it is there. Have the model and serial ready off the plate. The $89 covers the journey out and the diagnosis, and it is taken off the repair once you approve it.

  • Preheat chimed while the cavity was still barely warm, so every roast came out underdone. The temperature probe had drifted well out of range. New probe, and he stayed to log a whole cycle and prove it.

  • The knobs on our range had gone so stiff my wrist ached turning them. He pulled each valve stem, cleaned and regreased it, and left them turning smoothly. A small job he could easily have talked up.

  • It quit mid-cycle with the lights blinking and nothing on the display to explain it. The sump was packed solid and there was broken glass in the drain pump. Both cleared, and it has run clean since.
