I'll never buy Viking again and would recommend thinking twice before a
Viking purchase. My $4000 Viking broke down constantly. I can't think
of a single part, other than the racks, that did not have to be
replaced--- some more than once--- in the first two years I owned it.
By far, this is the worst appliance company I've ever had to deal with.
They don't know the meaning of quality control, warranty support or
customer service. I hold my nose when anyone mentions Viking to me.
