Tacoma's west side toward the Narrows, where many kitchens took a dual-fuel range at their last remodel, with a dishwasher set in beside it.
West End is plain Tacoma: the residential side of the city between the North End and the water at the Narrows. The Where row has no special status to explain, which leaves this page free for what does vary from one house to the next, namely the kind of range and what stands beside it.
The Houses row is deliberately loose. Mid-century describes a great many of these streets, with newer houses dropped in among them. Kitchens of that age were planned for an ordinary stove, so a Viking here nearly always arrived with a remodel rather than with the house.
One range, two kinds of fault
A dual-fuel range behaves like two appliances sharing one frame, which is why the Fuel and Have ready rows ask what they ask. The burners on top run on gas and are lit by spark; their faults belong to the igniter or burner assembly band. The oven underneath heats with electric elements, so a slow preheat or a bake that runs cool falls in the oven thermostat or heating element band instead. Saying which half is playing up saves a wasted trip, because the parts for the two halves have little in common.
A Viking dishwasher set in beside the range is covered on the same visit. Water left standing in the tub after a cycle starts at the bottom of the tub, where scraps and bottle labels collect around the drain; clear what you can see and run a short cycle before you ring.
The Getting there row is only a direction. Price does not move with the map: the visit costs $89 on the west side exactly as it does in the North End, and it comes off the bill once you say yes. Viking Repair Tacoma answers on (206) 472-1140.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.

Ran self-clean and afterwards the oven was completely dead. He found a blown thermal fuse and a scorched connector behind the back panel, replaced both, and talked me off self-clean on a cavity that old.
Marissa G. Stadium District
Every cycle finished with an inch of water sitting in the bottom. A chip of glass had wedged in the drain impeller. He cleared it and ran three cycles through before calling the job done.
Kwame E. North End
Dishes came out gritty on the top rack no matter what I did. The upper spray arm was blocked and the diverter was not switching over. He cleared the arm and replaced the diverter motor.
