Heat is the enemy of every Viking in this town. A west-side Victorian in the Oakhill-Brewster district bakes through a Sonoma County afternoon, and the built-in refrigerator that coasted all winter suddenly fights to hold temperature while the range beside it never skips a beat. That split-personality call is the Petaluma one we take most, and it is why we treat refrigeration, cooking, and baking as three separate problems.
We are an independent appliance shop that has worked high-end kitchens since 2005, and Petaluma is a standing stop on our North Bay rounds — from Historic Downtown's iron-front blocks and the West Side Victorians to the newer East Side builds toward Sonoma Mountain. A Viking near A Street has tighter clearances than the same unit in a 2000s kitchen, so we read the install first. We carry genuine OEM parts, the $89 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the work carries a 365-day warranty.

No. We are an independent appliance repair company that has focused on high-end kitchens, including Viking refrigeration, ranges, cooktops, and ovens, since 2005. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Viking and we are not factory-certified — we use genuine OEM parts, but we never claim a certification we do not hold.
Three categories: Viking refrigeration (built-in and column refrigerators, with their companion freezer and wine-storage cavities), Viking stoves, ranges and cooktops, and Viking ovens. Tell us the model number and symptom and we bring the right genuine parts.
The diagnostic is $89, credited toward the repair if you go ahead. The part drives the rest — an igniter or sensor is modest, a compressor or main control higher — and you get a clear price first. We can often offer a same-week window in Petaluma; call (628) 209-6820 to book.
Yes. We fit genuine OEM components keyed to your model and serial, not generic substitutes, and every repair carries a 365-day warranty on parts and labor.
Refrigeration and cooking are different systems. A Petaluma kitchen heating up on a hot afternoon makes a refrigerator's sealed system work much harder, so a marginal condenser fan, start relay, or charge shows up as warming while the gas range runs normally. We diagnose the refrigeration fault on its own terms.
What we service on the brand
Built-in and column refrigerators where Petaluma's heat exposes a weak sealed system. We test the compressor and sealed-system charge, the evaporator and condenser fans, the defrost heater and drain, the door gasket, the air damper, and the thermistor that reports cabinet temperature to the board. Companion freezer and wine-storage cavities on the same units are covered the same way.
Sealed- and open-burner gas tops where a burner clicks but won't catch, or a VariSimmer setting won't idle low. We service the spark module and igniter, the brass orifice and burner head, the porcelain and cast-iron grates, and the surface control or valve behind a burner that runs high, weak, or dead.
Gas and electric cavities that won't reach temperature, run hot or cold, or brown unevenly. We replace failed bake and broil elements, the glow-bar igniter that no longer draws current to open the gas valve, and the drifted RTD sensor; we service the convection fan and the door hinge and spring, then recalibrate the cavity.
Common faults
When the fresh-food side warms but the freezer holds, the culprit is usually a tired condenser fan, a slow start relay, or a sealed system that can no longer shed heat. We meter the parts before condemning the compressor.
A failed defrost heater or thermostat plus a blocked drain ices the evaporator until airflow chokes. We clear the drain, fit genuine defrost parts, and confirm the cycle runs clean.
The spark is often fine while a grease-packed port, an off-center cap, or a clogged brass orifice keeps the flame from bridging. We clean and true the head, then chase the spark module or valve only if it still won't catch.
A weak glow-bar igniter stops drawing the current needed to open the safety valve, so the oven never fires; a drifted RTD sensor makes a working oven run hot or cold. We test current draw and resistance, then fit the OEM part.
A part-working bake element, a stalling convection fan, or an off sensor leaves food under-browned. We replace the element, restore circulation, and recalibrate the cavity.
Verified customer reviews
Our Viking started warming up and the compressor sounded strained. The tech found a failing start relay and a tired condenser fan, replacing both with OEM parts. It cools well again and runs quietly. Service was thorough; only reason it's not five stars is the part took a couple days.
— Catherine S., Piedmont
Frost kept rebuilding in the freezer no matter how often I defrosted it. He diagnosed a bad defrost thermostat and heater on our Viking, installed genuine parts, and cleared the partially blocked drain. A week later it's still frost-free. Same-day visit and the diagnostic credited to the repair.
— Aiden L., San Leandro
Our Viking range oven wouldn't light at all. The technician found a weak glow-bar igniter that was no longer drawing enough current. He replaced it with a genuine part and tested three full cycles before leaving. Same-week appointment, fair price, and a 365-day labor warranty. Very pleased.
— Jordan P., Petaluma
Range oven died completely mid-roast. He arrived the next morning, found the bake element had shorted, and replaced it with a genuine Viking part. Tested it thoroughly before leaving. The $89 diagnostic came off the final price. Reliable, honest folks I'll absolutely call again.
— Joel B., Petaluma
Took ages to preheat and never felt hot enough. The technician found the bake element only partially working and the sensor slightly off. He replaced the element and recalibrated. Big improvement. A second part delayed things a day, but he kept me posted and the fix held.
