Possible Causes

High room humidity, Mullion heater turned off (if switchable), Failed mullion heater strip, Door gasket leaks causing cold air escape

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.
