Viking Repair along Island Crest Way
The quiet streets on either side of Island Crest Way, the island’s only four-lane arterial, where mid-island kitchens sit back from the shoreline.
Decide first
Call or wait in Island Crest
-
If the range smells of gas with every burner off — Touch no switches or knobs. Take everyone out by the nearest door, and ring 911 or the gas utility from the street. Call today
-
If one range burner clicks but the flame never catches — Try the burner next to it. If the others light, cook on those and book a slot for the one that will not. Book this week
-
If the grill on the back deck is slow to come up to heat — Take out any foil, close the hood and give it a proper preheat before judging it. Still lukewarm next time: book when it suits you. Safe to wait
Call today: ring Viking Appliance Repair Mercer Island at (206) 208-3377. Book this week: use the booking page. Safe to wait: not urgent, book when it suits you.
Off the arterial
The city calls Island Crest Way the island’s only four-lane arterial, and it carries the traffic through the middle of Mercer Island. The homes this page is about are mostly on the side streets that branch off it, away from the water. Pioneer Park, a 113-acre forest the city places at Island Crest Way and SE 68th Street, sits beside the road toward the south.
For a visit, the cross street is the useful detail, because it turns a house number on a small side street into a place that is quick to find.
Kitchen first, deck behind
Mid-island, the call is usually about the kitchen: a Viking range that is used every day, a wall oven, a dishwasher, a built-in refrigerator. The faults are the ordinary ones, and most of them are a booked visit rather than an evening emergency.
Where there is a grill, it tends to stand on a deck or patio behind the house rather than at the shoreline. It still spends the winter outdoors under a cover, so the spring questions are familiar ones: a burner that will not catch, an igniter that stays dark, a grill that takes too long to get hot.
Asked in Island Crest
- What should I mention when booking a visit to a house off Island Crest Way?
- Give the street and the nearest cross street, say whether the appliance is in the kitchen or out on the deck, and read the model number off its tag if you can reach it safely. That is enough to plan the visit. Viking Appliance Repair Mercer Island takes bookings at (206) 208-3377 or on the booking page.
In their words
Kitchens we have been back to
4.9 / 51,614 reviews
Ours ran three hours and still left the load damp — a dead heater circuit. He also walked us through which parts of the suite needed doing now and which could wait a year. That is rare.
Wall oven ran nearly fifty degrees cool. Rather than sell me a new control board he tested the sensor first, which is exactly what it turned out to be. Honest work, fair price.
The built-in refrigerator was warm on the fresh food side. He diagnosed a failed evaporator fan in about half an hour and had the part on the van. Our cabinetry went back together perfectly.
