The power surge probably blew out the compressor. Not sure what that might cost to fix on a Viking but it’s probably not cheap.

Eat some ice cream before it all melts.

power surge may have blown the fuse on the circuit board or fried the circuit board
this is why you need not only a whole house surge protector but put a surge protector on any appliance that costs money
as mentioned, unplug it for 10-15 minutes then plug it back in and cross your fingers, small chance this works but may as well give it a shot

It won't be
This fridge has been nothing but trouble, regret buying it. About to put it on the curb and get a GE.

Where is your curb? 
I wonder if refrigerator compressors have start-run capacitors like ac compressors?

I'd say your computer is screwed. Hopefully just a fuse but idk how you'd go about finding if it has one. Maybe Google Viking fridge and fuse or fried computer. Some forum somewhere might be a conversation about it.

just kidding. Dont due this. I cant have your dead arse on my conscience
