My old viking died, repair man said $99.50 for repair and they don't make parts for this anymore... came home with it...told DH about it and looked sad....I'll go to thrift shop to see if I could find one I said. No he said, you will only buy someone else's problems...get a new one. OK, I had already been looking for a new one, so that evening ordered one from ALLBRANDS. Happy camper!!!!
