Viking VWD527 Steam Pan Drawer Service
The VWD527 is a current 5 Series warming drawer, 27 inches wide. It has a moisture-selector control, temperature settings, removable steam pans with lids and racks, and a concealed heating element. The pans and lids are the clue to how it is used: moist dishes, rolls and soups that need a gentle hold.
We service a VWD527 by testing heat at a low, medium and high setting, then working the moisture selector through its range. The concealed element and thermostat are measured, and the pans, lids and racks are checked for fit. The drawer front is aligned with the oven or cabinet beside it. We give you the price in writing before parts are ordered, and a 30-day workmanship warranty follows the repair.
They hold food and moisture so dishes stay moist while warm. If a pan or lid does not seat, the drawer may lose heat or moisture.
The thermostat or control may be drifting. We measure the real temperature with a thermometer and compare it with the setting, then test the sensor and replace only the part that is out of range.
Yes. Steam and grease can make the selector stiff. We clean it, move it through its range, and confirm that it actually changes how much moisture the drawer holds when we test with a pan.
