Viking Built-In Refrigerator Not Sealing Intermittently
Check the door gasket for torn or broken attachment tabs. Gently go all the way around the door gasket, wiggling it to see if any part of it pulls out of place. If you find a build-up of dirt, mold, etc,. clean that off. If there is mold present, clean it with a borax solution. Also check the door frame on the refrigerator shell where the gasket is supposed to seal. If you see one area that is particularly dirty or signs of frequent condensation, double check the corresponding part of the gasket for defects.
I'm hypothesizing that a broken section of the gasket sometimes rolls or moves sideways, thus preventing proper sealing.
I have also had problems with the door staying closed if something in the freezer or refrigerator sticks out just enough to put outward pressure on the door (or a similar protrusion of items in the door racks). In that case, re-arrangement of the freezer contents should fix it.

How to replace ice maker signal arm
- Safety First: Before you begin, unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet to ensure your safety.
- Locate the Ice Maker: The ice maker is typically located in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. It's usually mounted to the side or top of the freezer.
- Access the Ice Maker:
- In some refrigerator models, you may need to remove the freezer's interior shelves or baskets to access the ice maker.
- Others may have a cover or panel that needs to be removed to access the ice maker assembly.
- Identify the Signal Arm: The signal arm is a slender, plastic or metal arm that is connected to the ice maker assembly. It extends over the ice bin or tray.
- Remove the Old Signal Arm:
- If the signal arm is attached with a screw, use a screwdriver to remove it.
- If the signal arm is connected with a clip or latch, gently detach it by carefully pulling it off the pivot point. Some signal arms may have a small locking tab that needs to be released first.

Fan constantly running on top of viking refrigerator , vcbb363 bottm mount freezer
It sounds like there may be an issue with the fan or the control board in your Viking refrigerator. The constant running of the fan, even when the compressor is not running, is not normal. The fact that different repair technicians have given different diagnosis and the issue persist even after replacing the compressor fan motor, suggest that it may be a problem with the control board, which manages the refrigeration system, including the fan. It could also be a problem with the thermostat, or the system's settings. Since the fridge and freezer seem to be at normal temperatures, it may not be a problem with the cooling system. It's best to contact Viking customer service for further assistance and see if they can provide any additional information or troubleshooting steps. If the issue persist, it's best to ask for a senior technician or supervisor to take a look at it and provide a resolution.

Do you have to use Viking Wine fridge parts to fix a Viking Wine cooler?
Hi,
I wouldn't pay upfront because the repairman doesn't know what the main problem is. You can first reach out to the product's manufacturer for recommended repair vendors. But if this fails, then you can call your nearest Lowe's or Home Depot for parts and repair assistance.
Thank you.

Why my viking refrigerator leaks
Possibly blocked drain from evaporator. When fridge goes into reverse cycle ice melts on evaporator and drains to a dish on the motor housing, this evaporates when motor runs. May have a crack in this dish or drain pipe has a hole or not draining into dish.

I'm trying to remove my built in viking fridge, is there any easy way to do it ,
its stuck.
It's likely screwed down. You will either see some screws at the front top of the refrigerator that are screwed into the countertop above or an anti tip bracket in the rear that you can't see. If you don't see any screws attaching it to the countertop, try shoving is back towards the wall and the tipping it forward. That should remove it from the anti tip bracket, if installed.
