Viking RVDD345R Downdraft Repair
The RVDD345R is the 45-inch rear downdraft in the 3 Series, with controls mounted remotely. It covers a wide cooking surface from behind, and it is usually found in an island or peninsula.
On a wide downdraft, an uneven grease layer shows in how well the ends of the slot draw. We clean the filters across their full length, then test the remote controls. The blower is inspected for vibration, which can come from a loose wheel or a worn mount. Finally, we look at the duct for restrictions. After the repair we run the blower on each setting and check the full width of the slot.
Every job starts with a written price, and our repairs include a 30-day workmanship warranty.
A wheel with grease buildup or a loose mount. We clean and tighten it, then run it at all speeds to confirm. The far ends of the slot are the first to lose draw.
Yes, but tall pots block the flow. A clean filter and free-moving air give the best capture. Looseness at the mount is common, and tightening it and cleaning the wheel usually stops the shaking, though a worn bearing needs a motor repair or replacement.
No. We access the unit from above and below without removing the cooktop. Yes, but keep a pan away from the slot so air can reach it, and always run the blower while you cook so smoke and steam are drawn out before they spread.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
