What We Found During the Diagnostic
Stan uncovered several issues that were working together to affect cooling performance:
1. Dirty Condenser Coil The condenser coil was heavily clogged with dust. When the coil can’t breathe, the refrigerator can’t release heat — this leads to temperature fluctuations, long run times, and weak cooling, especially on Viking built-ins.
2. Broken Lower Drain Pan The lower drain pan was damaged, which caused meltwater to pool at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of draining properly. This is a common issue when the pan cracks from wear, impact, or years of condensation cycles.
3. Disconnected Wire on the Evaporator Fan Stan also found a broken/loose wire going to the evaporator fan motor. Because the evaporator fan wasn’t running consistently, the evaporator coil began to ice up. That frost buildup restricted airflow, which caused:
• poor cooling
• temperature imbalance
• water leakage during defrost cycles
