Shut the column door and look for anything in its path. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Viking column door resists when I reopen it straight away. Is something wrong? Viking designed it to seal tightly, which creates a brief vacuum. Wait a few seconds for the pressure to balance. ### Who should adjust a Viking column door that will not close? Viking points to the installer for doors that do not fully close, since panel-ready columns depend on how the panel was fitted. ### Does Door open affect both compartments? Yes. The column has one door, so both zones take in room air while it is open. --- **[Read on the site: Viking Door open: the wine column door has been open a few minutes](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/viking-door-open/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
