Viking VUBV515 Stainless Bar Service
The VUBV515 is a retired 15-inch undercounter beverage center with a stainless steel interior. Stainless wipes clean easily, which suits a bar where bottles leak and tip, but the gasket and the door edge still take the spills, and a sugary film can glue the door to the cabinet and tear the gasket the next time it is pulled open.
We service a VUBV515 by cleaning around the gasket and testing the seal with a paper strip, then the condenser, the fan and the compressor start parts. The interior is checked for sharp edges that could have cut the gasket, and the light and its switch are tested. Parts for this retired model are quoted in writing before ordering, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.
Wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner, and avoid abrasive pads that scratch the finish. We leave the interior clean after a repair and point out spots where spills collect.
Usually from being pulled open when it is stuck by dried spills, or from rubbing a sharp edge. We replace the gasket and check the door edge so the new one lasts.
A weak start part or a dusty condenser is the most likely cause. We test the start parts and clean the coil before we consider anything inside the sealed system.
