      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.

This document is an installation guide for the Viking 5 Series 15"W. Undercounter/Freestanding Nugget Ice Machine, model numbers FGN1515 and FPN1515. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, safety, and maintenance, ensuring proper setup and operation of the ice machine.

Function Description

The Viking 5 Series Nugget Ice Machine is designed to produce nugget ice and store it in an integrated bin. It can be installed as an undercounter unit or as a freestanding appliance. The machine takes in room temperature air at the lower right front and expels warm air at the lower left front, requiring adequate airflow for optimal performance. It is designed for indoor use, with specific considerations for outdoor use if the stainless steel kickplate covering is retained. The unit requires a dedicated cold, potable water supply, a drain connection, and a proper electrical supply.

Usage Features

  • Undercounter/Freestanding Installation: The unit is versatile, allowing for installation beneath a countertop or as a standalone appliance.
  • Door Panel Options: The ice machine is supplied without a finished door panel. Users can choose between an accessory door panel (professional stainless steel) or a custom panel to match existing cabinetry.
    • Accessory Door Panel: Attached using 6 screws (supplied with door panel) and 2 machine screws (supplied with ice machine). Gasket removal and reinstallation are part of the process.

  • Drainage System:
    • Pump Models: Equipped with an internal drain pump to manage water removal, especially useful for installations where the drain connection is above the unit's base.
    • Gravity Models: Rely on gravity for drainage, requiring the drain connection to be below the unit's base and proper sloping of the drain tubing.
  • Service Access: The unit includes a service access panel for inspection and maintenance.
