Viking Freezer Not Freezing
Freezer Not Freezing is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Thin air over the condenser
There is materially less air mass here to carry heat away, so a condenser rejects less per revolution and runs longer to reach the same cabinet temperature.
Dirty or blocked condenser coils
The compressor overheats compensating for restricted airflow and eventually shuts itself down as a protective measure.
A worn or torn door gasket
Lets a steady trickle of warm, humid air into the cabinet that the compressor can never fully counteract.
