Viking microwave repair, drawer to speed oven
A Viking VMOD5240 drawer microwave slides open and shut at the press of a single button. When that drawer stalls, the fix is not the same as on a hinged door. We repair every Viking microwave style in Oahu kitchens.

How a Viking microwave gets diagnosed
Model first
Drawer, built-in, hood or drop-down speed oven: each Viking style has its own parts, so we start from the model number.
Install check
A hood mounted too low, or a built-in missing its trim kit, can cause trouble no part swap will fix.
Heat test
If the unit runs but food stays cold, we test the heating parts directly, the magnetron first among them.
Coverage
If the magnetron failed in years three to five, the part may be covered, and we explain what the owner pays.
A Viking magnetron shipped to Oahu
Viking gives the magnetron tube five years of limited coverage, longer than the rest of the unit. There is a catch. From year three to year five the tube comes as a part only, and the owner pays the labor and the shipping. On an island, shipping is not a small line. Before we order one, we confirm the unit's age from the serial and tell you what the warranty will and will not pay. Our parts lead time page covers how long parts take to arrive.
