Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing any heater wiring.
Steps:
- Check humidity: Use a dehumidifier or air conditioning if room humidity is very high.
- Heater switch: Some Viking models have an energy saver switch that turns mullion heaters off. Turn condensation control ON if available.
- Inspect gaskets: Ensure door gaskets seal properly to minimize cold air leakage.
- Heater test: If accessible, test the mullion heater strip for continuity and voltage when active.
Corrective action: Replace a failed mullion heater strip if condensation is persistent and other factors are controlled. Ensure gaskets are in good condition.
