Viking builds the ice maker as a small refrigeration system running a batch process on a timer. In Palo Alto the water path and the drain cause more calls than the cooling ever does, which is what most of our calls on it come down to.

Viking Ice Maker Repair in Palo Alto — Questions
Are you an authorized Viking service center?
No. We are an independent repair company and are not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Viking. We repair these appliances; we do not represent the manufacturer.
What goes wrong with a Viking ice maker most often?
Whether it drains by gravity or by pump, because the fault differs entirely is where we start, and it is the answer more often than anything else. The full list of what we are called out for is on this page.
Can you fix a ice maker in one visit?
Usually. We carry the common ice maker failures on the van; the water filter's age, before anything mechanical is suspected is the one that occasionally needs a part ordered, and we tell you the wait before you commit.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Repairs are backed by up to a year on parts and labor, and we confirm the exact coverage for your repair before we start.
What parts do you use?
Professional-grade replacement parts selected for your specific appliance and model. The common failures are carried on the van, which is why most calls close in a single visit.
What do you check before quoting anything?
The sequence on this page, in order. On a ice maker that means a freeze and harvest logged end to end, with the timings written down before any part is named, because guessing at the expensive component is how one visit becomes two.
Can you repair an out-of-warranty Viking ice maker?
Yes — most of what we do is on units past the manufacturer's warranty. If yours is still covered we will say so, because they should carry that cost rather than you.
Do you work on older Viking ice makers?
Yes, and they are often the ones most worth repairing. The mechanical side of these outlasts the electronics by years, so an older unit with a failed board is usually worth the board.
How long does a ice maker repair take?
Most calls finish in one visit once the fault is confirmed. If a part has to be ordered we tell you the wait before you commit to anything.
