Viking Appliance Repair in Bow Mar
Bow Mar keeps its houses low and its lots large, and the kitchens inside them were drawn when a range was thirty inches wide and a refrigerator stood free in a corner. Most have been modernised at least once. Very few have been made bigger, so a professional appliance here is usually fitted into a room that has not moved a wall since it was built.
Housing stock
Original kitchen footprint
A kitchen still bounded by the walls, doorways and ceiling height the house was built with, so every later appliance has to be chosen for an opening that was planned around much smaller equipment.
A soffit and a hood want the same space
Kitchens of this period usually carry a boxed soffit above the wall cabinets, and it is the first thing a proper hood argues with. Mounting height, the depth the canopy projects and the direction the duct can leave all have to fit under or through it, and the installation instructions for the hood set numbers the soffit may not allow. Find out what is inside that box before the hood is ordered: sometimes it is empty, sometimes it carries a duct or a cable, and the two lead to different jobs.
Deeper than the cabinets beside it
A professional range sits deeper than the base cabinets of an older kitchen, and the counter in front of it was rarely built to the depth a modern appliance assumes. That shows up as a range standing proud of the run, a gap behind it nobody planned, or a door that fouls the handle of the one beside it. All three are decided by the same set of measurements taken before an order, and all three are cheaper to settle on a drawing than with a saw.
Spec check
Confirm each of these before anything is cut, ordered or delivered.
- The depth of the existing cabinet run and of the counter in front of it
- What the soffit above the cabinets contains, and the height it leaves for a hood
- The narrowest doorway between the street and the kitchen, and whether that door comes off

Ice production fell to nothing over two weeks. Denver water had scaled the fill tube solid and the inlet valve barely opened. Both replaced, line flushed.
Torben H.Cherry Creek
Ran the clean cycle before a dinner party and the door stayed locked afterwards. The latch motor had stalled on its cam. He freed it, fitted a new motor, and showed me how to avoid a repeat.
Fritz B.Washington Park
Door would not stay shut, so the cycle cancelled itself minutes in. The latch strike had worn oval and the catch no longer held. He replaced both and adjusted the panel front to match.

A question now is cheaper than a change order later
$89 buys the visit and a complete diagnosis, and it comes straight off the bill once you approve a repair. Nothing gets ordered and nothing gets fitted until the number is in front of you.
