A historic district of older houses where a modern Viking often runs on wiring and a supply added decades after the house went up.
The Where row carries the one formal fact on this page. The North Slope Historic District is on the National Register as one of the largest historic districts in Washington, recognised for its streets of houses as a whole rather than for any one building. None of that alters the repair: a Viking on the North Slope gets the same $89 visit and the same published bands as one anywhere else in Tacoma.
The Houses row lists what you see from the pavement: Queen Anne, Craftsman and American Foursquare, with Tudor and Mission Revival houses among them. Most were standing long before a home kitchen held anything like a pro-style range, so the room your Viking sits in has been rebuilt at least once, and the wiring behind it has probably been extended along the way.
Old wiring under a new range
That is what the Fuel row is really asking. A dual-fuel range heats its oven electrically, so it asks far more of the circuit behind it than an all-gas model, which plugs in only for its igniters, lights and fan. On an old run of cable the strain shows as a breaker that trips partway through a bake, or a connection that runs warm. Those are causes we look for at the visit, never jobs for you. The one check that is yours is whether the breaker has tripped; one that trips a second time stays off until the technician arrives.
The Have ready row asks about the circuit for the same reason. Wiring inside the wall is work for an electrician, and you will be told plainly when that is the finding. Viking Repair Tacoma takes North Slope calls on (206) 472-1140.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.
4.9 / 5 1,064 reviews
The unit ran non-stop and the floor in front of it felt warm. Condenser coil was packed with dust behind the grille, and the fan was on its way out. Part came in on the second visit.
Lars B. Stadium District
Oven read 350 and nothing browned. He clipped a probe to the middle rack and showed me it was sitting forty degrees under, then fitted a new sensor. Roasts behave again.
Duncan P. North End
Kitchen is tight and the range had to come out to reach the manifold. He padded the floor first, replaced a leaking valve stem, and put it all back without a mark on the boards.
