Recall Help

IMPORTANT PRODUCT RECALL NOTICE

In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Viking is voluntarily recalling certain Built-In 36-Inch Bottom Mount Freezer Refrigerators manufactured between November 1, 2005 and August 10, 2012.

The voluntary recall is being implemented as a result of the potential for the weld securing the pin to the pivot plate on the door to break, causing the door to detach from the refrigerator and creating a risk of impact injury or fall. Viking has received 12 reports of injury or potential injury and has received 39 reports of doors detaching, some of which resulted in serious injury or property damage.

Viking will repair all affected refrigerators by replacing the hinge and pivot plate, which incorporates a headed pin, eliminating the risk of the door detaching from the refrigerator.

You may continue to use the recalled products until they are repaired. However, you should open and close the refrigerator door carefully until the repair is performed. You should inspect your refrigerator to see if the refrigerator door is exhibiting improper door sealing, door sagging or a failure to open and close normally. If you see one of these conditions, immediately contact Viking using the phone number below. Viking will repair all refrigerators subject to the recall at no charge to consumers.
