Product review (1 stars): Fan will not stop running/stove is defective no extended warranty
Very disappointed. Will not allow the fan to turn off
when the oven is running. Also, excessive wear of the cast
iron grating supporting the pots on the stove. When the paint
wears off, customer support blames the customer ("you did not
season it", they say).

A bad design. Better to buy a Bertazone and save the $2k!

After 6 months, the oven element burned out (right before a dinner party).
after 3 years the oven relay went. The relay is made in china and the design shows no diode to defeat the back emf. With the relay shot, the oven will not head and the oven indicators will not turn on.

I asked viking if they would help with cost of repair. No sir, we cannot help you, it is policy.

the repair guy wants 150 for a visit at $25 per 15 minutes. This is a $6 relay from Mouser Electronics. Viking wants $43 for the relay (it is a viking original part)...from china!

Trouble is, viking has no extended warranty. They say the dealers supply
the extended warranty.

I asked viking to recommend dealers that would sell me an extended warranty, but
they have no list of dealers that supply an extended warranty. I asked
my dealer if they had an extended warranty and they said no.

I have had cars that were more reliable and cheaper to fix.

What a bummer!
