Viking refrigerator model VCSB483. Alarm went off almost on a daily basis. Orange glow light indicator on and doesn't seem nearly as cold in the unit. Thanks for your help.

you have to remove the float that hangs from ceiling on rh side (depending on age)
also if your tray has foil heater under it this has to be removed first (depending on age and service history)

im not sure if still is the case.but there used to be a timer that shuts off the refridge so it self defrost. it is set to do this 1ce a day so the ice or frost does not build up.it is called a defrost timer. if it fails it will not shut down the fridge.most of them are near the front behind the grate.

Most likely your main board went out. Try turning your braker on and off. Most likely you need a service man asap.

I am not sure if I have the same model, but the VIKING fridge that I purchased in Chicago is a stainless steel bottom freezer design that is horrible. I paid alot for it and it looks great on the outside - like a pretty girl that has nothing to say.....The alarm goes off constantly and tonight the freezer wasn't working! This thing is not even 5 years old and my GE fridge in the basement that I use to store drinks for the pool and things that I don't want to spoil is probably 40 years old (I got it from my parents and has NEVER been a problem). What is up VIKING? Where are your engineers??

freezer fan runs when freezer calls for cooling
ref fan runs when fridge calls for cooling
condenser fan up top runs with compressor
lower unit condensate fan runs with compressor
fans should not be noisy
control monitors temp and will give alarm if temp rise
please contact viking as your fridge may have a safety recall on door hinges

does drain pan have copper lines it

I have this side by side Viking- The worst product I ever bought. Nothing but problems. If I can give anyone advise do not buy one.

It sounds like the light switch may be keeping the light on when the door is closed. Faulty Switch. Regards Advisor
