Error Code Explained
What Does the Viking Gas Pressure Fault Error Code Mean?
A Viking gas cooktop that produces uniformly low or weak flames across all burners — particularly when other gas appliances in the home are functioning normally — has a gas pressure issue specific to the cooktop. Viking Professional gas cooktops include a gas pressure regulator that maintains the correct gas pressure to the burners. A failed or partially failed regulator restricts gas flow.
Root Causes
Common Causes of the Viking Gas Pressure Fault Error Code
-
1Failed Gas Pressure RegulatorThe regulator that maintains correct gas pressure to the burners has failed or is sticking, reducing gas flow below the required level.
-
2Supply Line Kink or BlockageThe flexible gas supply line to the cooktop has kinked or partially blocked, restricting flow.
