Frequently Asked Questions
•Where is the vacuum switch located on my Viking refrigerator?
The vacuum switch is typically located near the condenser coils or on the compressor itself. Refer to your refrigerator's service manual for the exact location.
•How do I test the condenser fan motor?
Use a multimeter to check for 120V AC at the motor terminals when the compressor is running. If voltage is present but the motor isn't running, the motor is likely defective. Also, check the motor windings for continuity; an open winding indicates a failed motor.
•What is the correct vacuum level that the switch should detect?
The specific vacuum level depends on the model, but it's usually a relatively low vacuum pressure. Refer to the service manual for the exact specifications. It's not usually measured directly but inferred from switch activation.
