Viking VICV54981 54-Inch Island Ventilator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Poor extraction across a long island cooktop
  2. Greasy filters
  3. Lamp failures
  4. Speed switch worn

The VICV54981 is a 54-inch Professional Series built-in custom ventilator for an island hood, now retired. Hidden in a custom hood above a long island range, it has more cooking surface to handle than the 42-inch version.

We begin with a gentle inspection of how the insert is mounted, then pull the filters and see how much grease they carry. The blower wheel and motor are examined from below, and each speed is tested. Lights and the switch follow. Because an island hood is exposed on all sides, we also look at the duct and the damper above the ceiling line, where a sticking flap can choke the system.

The price is written before work starts, and our repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

VICV54981VICV54981 questions
Is it normal for the filters on a wide insert to look different from each other?

Yes. The filters nearest the heaviest cooking collect more grease, so we clean each one and check its frame separately. Uneven loading is normal, and it tells us where the heaviest cooking happens.

Does an island hood need a stronger blower than a wall hood?

Island hoods work in open air, so they benefit from a strong, clean blower. Our service focuses on restoring what the unit was built to do.

Will you move the hood shell?

No. We work through the openings it has and leave the custom shell where the builder placed it. Any shell repair stays with your builder, and we point out issues we see.
