My Viking Freezer is three years old. The problem is the constant roaring sound it makes. No one can sit in my kitchen, family room or living room for very long before the noise from this freezer gets on their nerves. It is driving me up the wall and I would never never buy another Viking product because of this annoying constant irritation.

There are several fans on your unit one on the top with the compressors, one inside the freezer, and one at the bottom. If you open the freezer and the noise gets louder or stops then you know it is the evaperater fan. Sometimes the bearings start to go and they make louder noise. Also check on the back wall for frost you could have a frosting problem and the fan blade is hitting on the ice

SOURCE: viking freezer and fridge power on but not getting cold.

Are you sure the compressors are running, it could just be that the fans are starting but the compressor does not start.

It sounds as though you may have fried the boards again.

Remove the top grille and reach in to the compressor, to see if it is running, you should be able to feel it vibrating, there should also be some heat to it, not neccessarily hot.

have you tried putting surge protectors on the outlets, to save the boards in the future?

Viking professional defrost cycles

Check the rubber seal inside/around the door. I bet you have a tear or piece of seal that isn't making a solid fit and it's allowing (warm) room air into you freezer. This moist room air will either turn to water droplets and builds up to enough droplets to form puddles in the bottom of the freezer, or it freezes into a blob of ice around the door seal and this allows warm room air into the freezer. Otherwise you need an Appliance Tech to check the Freon refrigerant level. Most times its the door seal causing this problem.

Freezer will not stop running -- has been on for four days straight! The freezer was empty for the previous three months and was turned off and cleaned. It is located in our kitchen, with room temperature...

The thermostat has a thick, bendy, copper or aluminium (non electric) conduction wire that goes from it, to physically connect to the internal metal casing.
When that lead becomes disconnected, the motor can just run, as the thermostat can't get a reading within the range it is designed to look for and control. It just hunts permanently for a reading.
Maybe this is not it, but see if anything came loose when you were storing the machine. If tempted to investigate areas that hold live 115V, always resist doing that and use a licenced electrician.

There is a curing process for the foam used to insulate these. It can give off a pungent odor until it is fully cured. Only experienced it a couple times in the last 20 years. eric

My Zanussi fridge/freezer is making a funny little noise

What you may be noticing is the system going through a defrost cycle. Check the time of the day that you notice this event. If it happens at the same times it could be a normal situation if at all other times normal temperatures are being maintained. A popping sound can be caused by thermal expansion during the defrost.
