The waterfront development on the old smelter site at Ruston: recent condominium and apartment buildings with kitchens built into the cabinetry.
Point Ruston is a development rather than a town, and the Where row says so. Its land is the old smelter site on Ruston’s stretch of the Commencement Bay shore, and the buildings on it are all recent. The older streets of Ruston, up the hill, have a page of their own; this one covers the buildings by the water.
The Houses row reads condominiums and apartments, which shapes the visit more than the repair does. The Have ready row follows straight from it: tell us where a technician can park, whether there is a loading area or a service lift, and whether the front desk needs a name in advance. If you rent rather than own, check with whoever manages the building first, as some prefer to arrange appliance work themselves.
Built-in behind a matching panel
Kitchens here were fitted as each building went up, with refrigeration set into the cabinetry and often hidden behind a panel that matches the doors around it. That makes airflow the thing to think about. Viking’s guide for its integrated refrigerator and freezer columns asks for the condenser to be cleaned every six months, and at once after building work or anything else that raises dust near the unit. In a new building that step is easy to miss. On those columns the coil sits behind the kick plate, so it is looked at during the visit rather than by you.
The Fuel row is asked because a gas line did not reach every building. Have the model and serial number to hand when you call; Viking’s manuals ask owners for both whenever service is needed. Viking Repair Tacoma: (206) 472-1140, with the $89 visit credited to the repair.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.
4.9 / 5 1,237 reviews
Dishes came out gritty on the top rack no matter what I did. The upper spray arm was blocked and the diverter was not switching over. He cleared the arm and replaced the diverter motor.
Fabian U. Northeast Tacoma
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.
Rudy C. Proctor District
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
