    Why does the motor in my Viking Refrigerator seem to run too long?
    • S
      Sonya FernandezSep 4, 2025
      Your Viking Refrigerator motor may run longer than usual on hot days, if the room is too warm, after adding a large amount of food, or due to frequent door openings. This is normal.

      Lisa RodriguezAug 25, 2025
      If your Viking Refrigerator lights aren't working, check if a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. Also, see if a bulb has burned out. For models with LED lighting, contact an authorized service agency.

    What to do if my Viking Refrigerator ice maker will not operate?
    • E
      Erika GuerreroAug 26, 2025
      If your Viking Refrigerator ice maker isn't working, verify that the freezer is cold enough to make ice, which may take overnight to reach the proper temperature. Ensure the signal arm is in the on (down) position, the water valve is turned on, and water is getting to the water valve. Check the water line for leaks.

    Why burner ignites but flame is large, distorted, or yellow on my Viking CFGIM515 Ranges?
    • P
      Phillip WrightSep 12, 2025
      This issue may arise from several factors. The burner ports could be clogged, the unit might be using the wrong type of gas, or the air shutters might not be properly adjusted. Please check these potential causes.

    Why is my Viking Wine Cooler not cold enough?
    • J
      john01Sep 18, 2025
      If your Viking Wine Cooler isn't cold enough, several factors could be at play. First, the temperature control might be set too warm; try adjusting it to a colder setting and allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. Excessive door openings can also impact the temperature, so allow the unit to stabilize for at least 24 hours. Make sure that the airflow to the front grille isn't blocked, as this can impede cooling. Finally, check the door gasket to ensure it's sealing properly; if not, adjust the door alignment or replace the gasket.

    Why won't the oven light work on my Viking CFGIM515?
    • D
      Dr. Frank Bryant MDSep 7, 2025
      If the oven light in your Viking Ranges isn't working, it could be due to a burned-out light bulb or the range not being connected to power.

    Why does the temperature display not match the set point on my Viking Refrigerator?
    • M
      moralesdavidAug 31, 2025
      If the temperature display on your Viking Refrigerator doesn't match the set point, it could be due to several reasons: * The unit was just plugged in. * Hot food was recently added. * The door was opened for an extended time or frequently. Allow the unit to stabilize for 24 hours to resolve this issue.

    Why does my Viking Kitchen Appliance develop condensation on external surfaces?
    • A
      Angela AdamsSep 23, 2025
      Condensation on the external surfaces of your Viking Kitchen Appliance usually means it's exposed to high humidity. As humidity decreases, the moisture should go away.

    What to do if my Viking Ranges oven light will not work?
    • L
      Larry RichardsonSep 14, 2025
      If the oven light isn't working, there could be two possible reasons. First, the light bulb might be burned out, so try replacing it. Second, the range might not be properly connected to power, so ensure it is connected to a power source.

    What to do if the Viking Refrigerator ice maker will not operate or ice is not made fast enough?
    • E
      Emily LoweryAug 28, 2025
      To ensure your Viking Refrigerator's ice maker operates correctly or produces ice faster: * Check if the on/off lever is in the OFF (up) position; if so, lower it to the ON (down) position. * Verify the water valve is turned on and that water is reaching it; inspect the water line for any leaks. * Make sure the freezer is sufficiently cold by adjusting the temperature controls and waiting 24 hours for stabilization.

Overview

This document is an installation guide for the Viking 5 Series 15"W. Undercounter/Freestanding Ice Machine, covering models FGIM515, CFGIM515, FPIM515, and CFPIM515. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance of the ice machine.

Function Description:

The Viking 5 Series ice machine is designed to produce ice and store it in an integrated bin. It is suitable for undercounter or freestanding installation in residential or commercial settings. The unit takes in room temperature air at the lower right front and expels warm air at the lower left front. Proper airflow is crucial for efficient ice production. The machine can be supplied with either a professional door panel or a custom door panel, allowing for integration with various cabinetry styles. It is available in two main configurations: a gravity drain model and a pump model for drainage.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Overall Width: 14-7/8" (37.8 cm)
  • Overall Height: 33-7/8" (86.0 cm) min. to 34-7/8" (88.6 cm) max.
  • Overall Depth (without door panel): 22" (55.9 cm)
  • Overall Depth (with door panel): 22-3/4" (57.8 cm)
  • Overall Depth (with door handle): 25-1/4" (64.1 cm)
  • Cutout Width: 15" (38.1 cm)
  • Cutout Height: 34-1/4" (86.4 cm) min. to 35-1/4" (89.5 cm) max.
  • Cutout Depth: 24" (61.0 cm)
  • Electrical Requirements: 115V/60 Hz, 15 amp dedicated circuit, 6' 3-wire cord attached to product. A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
  • Maximum Amp Usage: 5.0 amps
  • Inlet Water Requirement: 1/4" OD copper tubing inlet waterline, 20 psi min. to 80 psi max., 40°F (5°C) min. to 100°F (38°C) max.
  • Drain Requirements:
    • Pump Model: 3/8" ID plastic tubing (included).
    • Gravity Model: 5/8" ID x 7/8" OD plastic tubing (not included).
  • Temperature Requirements: 50°F (10°C) min. to 100°F (38°C) max.
  • Maximum Storage Capacity: 26 lbs.
  • Approximate Shipping Weight:
    • FGIM515: 113 lbs. (51.25 kg)
    • FPIM515: 118 lbs. (53.5 kg)

Usage Features:

  • Undercounter/Freestanding Installation: The unit can be installed beneath a countertop or as a standalone appliance.
  • Door Panel Options: Users can choose between a professional stainless steel door panel or a custom wood panel (not exceeding 15 lbs) to match existing cabinetry. The custom panel dimensions are 14-7/8" (37.9 cm) width, 30-5/16" (77.0 cm) height, and 5/8" (14.5 cm) to 3/4" (1.9 cm) thickness.
  • Adjustable Door Swing: The door hinges can be configured to open from either the left or right side, providing flexibility for placement. Instructions are provided for changing the door swing, which must be done before attaching the door panel.
  • Door Stop: A door stop pin can be inserted into the hinges to prevent the door from opening too wide and damaging adjacent cabinets.
  • Leveling Legs: The unit is equipped with leveling legs to ensure proper alignment and stability during installation.
  • Kickplate: The kickplate comes with a stainless steel covering. This covering can be removed to expose a black kickplate underneath, using supplied black screws. The stainless steel covering should not be removed if the ice machine is used outdoors.
  • Water Filtration: While not mandatory, filtering the water is recommended to improve ice quality by removing taste, odors, and particles. Reverse osmosis (RO) water can be used, provided its conductivity is at least 10 microSiemens/cm, and post-treatment is included to address potential aggressiveness. Deionized water is not recommended. Water softeners may not improve ice conditions in very hard water, potentially leading to white, mushy cubes.

Maintenance Features:

  • Easy Access for Service: The front service access panel is removable for maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • Cleaning: The manual emphasizes turning the power switch to the OFF position before attempting to clean or service the unit.
  • GFI Requirement: A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) should be used if required by local codes, especially in locations with potential water exposure. The GFI should be of the receptacle type, permanently wired, on a dedicated circuit, rated for Class A (5 mA +/- 1 mA trip current), in good condition, and protected from moisture.
  • Drain System: The unit includes either a gravity drain or an internal drain pump. Gravity drain systems require proper venting, no kinks, and a slope to the building drain. Air gaps are typically required by local codes for both drain types.
  • Installation Checklist: A checklist is provided to ensure all installation steps, including water supply connection, drain testing, electrical connection, leveling, and removal of packing materials, are completed correctly.
  • Service Information: The manual provides contact information for Viking Range Corporation's Preferred Service and advises users to record the model number, serial number, date purchased, and dealer information for future service needs. The model and serial number are located in the upper left interior compartment.
