A separate city on Tacoma's western edge that runs down to Puget Sound at Chambers Bay, where one kitchen often holds more than one Viking.
The Where row heads the sheet as a city, not a Tacoma district: University Place incorporated in 1995. Its western edge is Puget Sound, where Pierce County turned an old sand-and-gravel quarry into the public golf course at Chambers Bay. None of that alters a booking, which runs on the same terms and the same bands as one from inside the city limits.
The Houses row explains the two below it. Bigger houses tend to come with bigger kitchens, and in a bigger kitchen the cooking is often split in two: burners on a rangetop let into the worktop, baking in a wall oven further along the run. Where there is one appliance instead, the Fuel row is frequently dual-fuel: gas burners on top, an electric oven underneath.
Burner or oven: say which
Either way, a cooking fault sits in the burners or in the oven, and the two are priced in different bands. That is what the Have ready row is for, and it is the first question on the phone.
For burners, small details carry the diagnosis a long way. Does the igniter click at all? Does it keep clicking once the flame is up? Is it one burner, or every one of them? A new igniter or burner part is priced in the igniter or burner assembly band.
For the oven, say whether it heats at all, climbs slowly, or reaches the set temperature and then wanders. A failed element or temperature control is covered by the oven thermostat or heating element band.
Built-in refrigeration is a separate appliance with a band of its own; if it has begun running warm, add it to the same booking. For University Place, Viking Repair Tacoma answers (206) 472-1140, and the $89 diagnosis comes off whatever repair you agree to.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.
4.9 / 5 901 reviews
Griddle plate cooked on the right and did nothing on the left. He put a meter on it, found the element open on one leg, and fitted a new one. Even heat end to end now.
Bettina H. Stadium District
The door sat open about half an inch at the top and heat poured out. Both hinges had gone soft. He fitted new ones, adjusted the strike, and it pulls shut flush now.
Teodor L. Proctor District
Water was seeping out along the bottom of the door onto the floor. The seal had hardened and pulled loose at one corner. It had to be ordered, then fitted the following week.
Osvaldo Q. Proctor District
