Most people barely even know that they’re Viking dishwasher has a door switch, at least they don’t until they try to do a load of dishes and find out that the door switch isn’t working. These little devices might not be well known, but they’re an important aspect of keeping your Viking dishwasher running smoothly.
Another common Viking dishwasher repair issue is an appliance that no longer drains properly. Sometimes this is a result of a mechanical problem with your dishwasher, while other times the problem stems from a plumbing problem. We can help you determine the source of the drainage problem and correct. When the problem stems from plumbing, we commonly find that the drain pipe has become blocked, making it impossible for the water to exit the dishwasher. If your dishwasher is set up to drain through your garbage disposal, turn on the disposal and see if the dishwasher drains. If this corrects the drainage problem, you should plan on turning the disposal on and off half a dozen times or so to resolve the matter. The next thing we look at is the air gap. If we see water in this space, we know that the clog has to be located between the garbage disposal and the air gap. We can usually quickly and easily correct this particular drainage problem by snaking the tube and forcing the clog to relocate. If we still haven’t corrected the drainage problem, our next step is checking out the dishwasher drain connection which can be found between your garbage disposal and the dishwasher’s drain tub. If we find a clog, we push it free of the drain connection and you can enjoy a properly draining dishwasher. If none of these simple fixes work, our Viking dishwasher expert turns their attention to mechanical reasons for the failure to drain. The most common mechanical reason for the drainage problem is a faulty pump that will need to be repaired or replaced.
We have received quite a few calls from Santa Barbara residents who have developed Viking dishwasher repair issues that ultimately turned out to be connected to the heating element which is responsible for keeping the water flowing into the machine at the optimal temperature and making sure the air inside the dryer stays hot during the drying cycle, which causes the water to evaporate faster so your dishes dry faster. When the heating element within a Viking dishwasher isn’t working properly, the dishes won’t be as clean as they were when all systems were perfectly functional and all of your dishes will still be damp to the touch, despite the fact that they went through the entire drying cycle. When we determine that the problem really is the heating element, we will either replace or repair the part. Whichever option we choose, you can rest assured that we’ll only use parts that received full certification from the Viking company.

Before you do anything else, you need to find the paperwork you received when your first purchased your dishwasher and reacquaint yourself with the warranty information. If the warranty is still good, you need to contact Viking and alert them to the situation. Based on what you tell them about the problem, they’ll either repair the appliance or set you up with a brand new one. Either way, Viking foots the bill. You DO NOT want to try doing any work on your machine if it’s protected by a warranty. Any tinkering you do to the dishwasher, no matter how meaningful, will result in the warranty being voided forever. If the warranty has long since expired, you have to decide whether or not you should tackle the project yourself, or if you should call us and have us handle all the work for you. One of the first things you should ask yourself before embarking on a DIY Viking dishwasher repair project is whether or not you have the experience and knowledge needed to accurately diagnose the problem and test the connected parts. Without this knowledge, you could spend an enormous amount of your time poking around the inside of your dishwasher trying to isolate the problem. We have spoken to people who thought they’d accurately pinpointed the problem only to later learn that they replaced a perfectly good part and never corrected the actual problem.
