VIKING INDUCTION MODELS TEMPORARILY ON HOLD

As you are aware, the entire appliance industry is experiencing unprecedented supply chain shortages.  Viking is experiencing a component shortage that affects the production of Viking Induction Cooktops, Ranges and Tuscany Series Ranges featuring an induction cooktop.  The only induction models not effected at this time, are the Virtuoso Induction cooktops.  Manufacturing is working with suppliers to develop a replacement for this component, but at this time Viking’s best estimate is that they won’t be back in production until Q2 2022.

Please know that we will temporarily stop accepting orders for the affected models until we are ready to go back into production and can provide appropriate lead times. Please do not take any orders for:

• Viking Model VICU53014BST (5 Series 30” induction cooktop)
• Viking Model VICU53616BST (5 Series 36” induction cooktop)
• Viking Model VIR53014B (5 Series 30” induction range)
• Viking Model TVDR4814I (Tuscany Series 48” range with 4 gas burners and 2 induction burners)
• Viking Model TVDR6616I (Tuscany Series 66” range with 6 gas burners and 2 induction burners)

Attached is a list of all models that should be temporarily put on hold within your system.

Please also know that due to an availability issue with this griddle, Viking will need to delay shipment of open orders for the CRG7VGR (Viking 7 Series Accessory ViChrome Griddle) until approximately March 1, 2022. Additional orders will not be accepted until further notice.
