Who makes Viking range hoods?

They are sold and supported by Viking Range, LLC of Greenwood, Mississippi, the maker of Viking ranges, which today belongs to the Middleby Corporation. Heritage Kitchen Services is an independent shop with no tie to either; Viking equipment is simply all we repair.

Is there a parts diagram for my Viking hood?

Yes. Parts sellers publish an exploded drawing for each Viking model number, keyed to a parts list. Search by the full model number rather than by width or series, since one model can carry two versions of a part.

How often do Viking hood filters need attention?

Viking advises washing the dishwasher-safe baffle and mesh filters at least monthly, more often if you fry, grill or wok-cook a lot. Charcoal filters on recirculating hoods are replaced every 6 to 12 months. Filter care also belongs on a yearly check.

I bought a house with the Viking hood already in it. Is it still covered?

It may be. Coverage passes to a new owner through the sale of the home, so the hood can still be in its full or parts-only years. With no receipt or registration on file, the start date is the production date coded in the serial number.

Does a floor model or refurbished Viking hood come with coverage?

Not under Viking's standard terms. Anything sold used, as-is, refurbished, as salvage, as seconds, as liquidation stock or as B-stock is left out. The coverage also reaches only hoods purchased in the US or Canada, and only when they are repaired in that same country.

Hood parts and coverage

The right part for a Viking hood, and who pays for it

Viking range hood parts are looked up by the hood's complete model and serial number, printed on a label that on most Viking hoods sits inside the canopy behind the filters. Below: which pieces wear, how to match a replacement, and what Viking's coverage pays for at each stage of the hood's life.

The short answer on Viking hood parts

2 slides

Quick read 1 / 3

Where can I get parts for a Viking range hood?

Begin with the model and serial number printed on the label inside the hood. Order through an appliance parts distributor or online parts store that searches by that full number, or let a repair technician source it. If the hood is still in its first two years, contact the selling dealer or Viking before paying anyone.

Side by side

What sits inside a Viking hood, piece by piece

Wall hood, island hood, custom insert or downdraft: each is assembled from a short list of parts, and naming the one that failed is most of the work of ordering correctly.

Common Viking range hood parts and who usually replaces them
Part	Its job	How a failing one shows itself	Usually handled by
Baffle or mesh filters	Catch grease before air reaches the blower	Grease dripping from the rim, or bent baffles rattling	The owner: they lift out and go in the dishwasher
Charcoal filters	On recirculating setups only, they strip odors from the air	Cooking smells linger with the fan on high	The owner, on a schedule
Blower motor and wheel	Move air through the hood and duct	A hum without rotation, grinding, or a wobble that changes with speed	A technician, breaker off
Speed switches or control board	Set fan speed and switch the lights	A dead speed, or a button that works only while held	A technician
Lamps and sockets	Light the cooking surface	Dark or flickering lights a fresh lamp does not cure	Owner for the lamp; technician for a scorched socket
Heat sensor	Forces full speed when the air under the hood gets very hot	Fan stuck on high long after cooking, or never stepping up	A technician
Downdraft lift drive	Raises and lowers the vent behind the cooktop	The vent stalls halfway or will not rise	A technician, working under the cooktop

Finding the right part number, in order

In sequence

A part that fits a hood of the same width and series can still be wrong for yours. These steps are what save a return.

Switch off and let it cool
Turn off the fan and lights and wait until the canopy is cool. If you will reach past the filters, shut off the hood's breaker too.
Find the label
On most Viking hoods it is fixed to an inner wall of the canopy, visible once the filters are lifted out. On a downdraft, check the housing below the counter. The owner's guide marks the spot.
Photograph it and copy every character
Write down the complete model number, trailing letters included, plus the serial number. Two hoods that look alike can differ by one suffix letter.
Note how the hood is set up
Record the width, whether it vents outdoors or recirculates, and where the blower lives. Some installations put the motor in the ductwork or outside the house.
Open the diagram for that exact model
Parts sellers show an exploded drawing per model number with every piece numbered. Read the notes beside each line: a list can change during production, and the serial number shows which version you have.
Compare before you pay
Check connector shape, mounting holes, filter dimensions, and the base and wattage printed on the old lamp. If anything differs, ask before ordering.

Does the Viking warranty cover range hood parts?

Yes, in two stages. Hoods share Viking's two-year full coverage, counted from purchase or from a new home's closing, whichever runs longer. From the third year to the end of the fifth, a failed ventilation motor becomes a parts-only case: Viking provides the motor, while labor and shipping are yours. Lamps, switches and filters are not on that list.

How Viking's coverage changes over a hood's life

When things happen

These stages follow Viking's published terms. The paperwork that came with your hood is the final word, so file it with the receipt.

Delivery day
Look over the stainless at once. Viking accepts manufacturing-related cosmetic flaws for 90 days after purchase, but they must be reported to the selling dealer inside that window. Handling and installation marks are excluded.
Through the second year
Full coverage in normal home use. Registering is optional, but with no registration or receipt Viking dates the start from the production date in the serial number, which comes before installation.
Third through fifth year
Parts only, which for a hood means the ventilation motor. Viking ships it; fitting and freight are the owner's to pay. A dead switch, socket or control board falls outside the list.
After the fifth year
Every part and every hour of labor is on the owner. Our piece on older Viking models covers parts that have left the catalog.
When the house is sold
Coverage travels to the next owner only with the sale of the home. A hood bought secondhand on its own brings none.

The Viking-listed part or an aftermarket one

3 slides

Hood parts come two ways: the piece Viking lists against your model number, or an aftermarket piece built to fit many hoods. For faults beyond a part swap, see Viking hood repair.

Option A

The part Viking lists for your model

Built to the hood's own drawing, so mounting points, plugs and speed wiring line up.
What Viking sends when a ventilation motor fails in the parts-only years.
The sensible pick for motors, switches, control boards, heat sensors and downdraft drives.
Sometimes dropped for a discontinued hood, which is when the search for a substitute starts.

Option B

An aftermarket or universal part

Fine for charcoal filters and lamps when size, base and wattage match exactly.
A filter with gaps around its frame lets grease slip past onto the blower wheel.
A universal motor can differ in rotation, mounting or speed range.
Bought for a hood still under full coverage, it can be money spent for nothing.

Our read

Keep electrical and moving parts to what Viking lists for the model, and treat filters and lamps as matching jobs: same size, type and rating. When we source a hood part, you learn whether it is Viking-listed, aftermarket or rebuilt before anything is ordered.

Before ordering a part you may not need

Good to know

A fan that turns itself up is doing its job

Each Viking hood has a heat sensor. When the air under the canopy reaches 165°F, it sends the blower to full power, and once that air drops below 147°F it hands the fan back to the speed you chose. During a hard sear that is normal, and no switch needs replacing.

The fan races while the cooktop is off and cold: worth a service call.
The fan never steps up while every burner is blazing: worth a call too.

Can I replace a Viking range hood part myself?

Filters and lamps, yes: with the hood off and cool they come out by hand, and the owner's guide shows how. Motors, blower wheels, switches, control boards, heat sensors and downdraft drives sit behind panels on household wiring, so turn off the breaker and leave those to a technician.
