One of Tacoma's older communities, centred on South 84th Street and Park Avenue, where a single Viking may be the newest thing in the kitchen.
Fern Hill lies in the South End, gathered around the crossing of South 84th Street and Park Avenue, and it counts among the oldest communities in Tacoma. The Houses row says older for that reason, with a handful of stately historic houses among the rest.
Kitchens in houses of that age are seldom gutted in one go. More often a single appliance is replaced when it gives out, and the Viking is the piece somebody chose to spend on, standing beside cabinets and a floor much older than it is. The Fuel row is asked because a kitchen changed one piece at a time may have changed fuel along the way.
An older Viking and its parts
The Have ready row asks for the model and serial numbers and a rough age, and here that matters more than usual. An older Viking may need a part that has since been revised or is no longer made, and the numbers are how that is found out before a quote rather than after one. The price you hear at the visit is for a part that can actually be had.
That is also why the visit starts with reading the appliance before anything is opened. A worn oven door hinge, a tired seal, a burner that will not light: whatever the fault, the same model and serial settle which part fits.
On the terms of the city
The Getting there row is the crossroads the community grew around. Fern Hill is booked on the same terms as the rest of Tacoma: an $89 visit, taken off the repair once you agree to it. Viking Repair Tacoma answers on (206) 472-1140.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.
5.0 / 5 954 reviews
Big roast on and the oven quit halfway through. He came out that evening, found the igniter reading low and the safety valve never opening, and changed the igniter. Dinner was an hour late, no worse.
Nate J. Northeast Tacoma
Front left burner clicked for weeks and never caught. He found the spark electrode cracked and the burner cap seated crooked. Lit on the first turn afterwards, and he cleaned out the drip tray while he was in there.
Marlon T. North End
It would start, run for about a minute, then stop with every light flashing. He pulled the fault code, found a dirty turbidity sensor and a stuck float switch, and cleaned both out.
