Owners of Viking refrigerators require assistance when a freezer works but doesn’t freeze. Before you start a deep and thorough diagnostic, try out a fast tip. Unload the freezer if there is too much food in it. On the top of the freezer there is the dial control for coldness and the integrated switch to turn it off. If yours has been off, the opening and closing of the drawer causes the dial to turn all the way down and then to off. Turned it on. This may or may not be your problem, but it's something to check. Then, check if your freezer’s door is not defective and closes tightly. Don’t repair the defective gaskets, replace them soon. If your freezer isn't level, it may also prevent a proper seal. Use a carpenter's level to determine when the door is plumb - straight up and down - or level and adjust the legs as needed. The other common problem that most homeowners have with their freezers is a problematic start relay. It’s the start relay that provides power to the compressor. The compressor is located on the back of the unit near the bottom. If the start relay fails, the compressor will also not run. A freezer will not be able to cool if the compressor is not working properly. The cooling system involves dangerous parts and attempting to service them yourself can lead to injury. Some repairs also require specialized tools and in-depth knowledge. Among these repairs are bad evaporator fans that chirp and squeak or refuse to circulate cool air and lower refrigerant levels. Nitrogen refrigerant recovery is a serious issue as well, it requires use of special equipment that only professional refrigerator repair techs have.
