Viking Cycle Interruption Error Code

Error Code Explained

What Does the Viking Cycle Interruption Error Code Mean?

A Viking dishwasher that stops mid-cycle has a fault condition that interrupted the automated cycle sequence. Common causes include the door being accidentally opened (which pauses most cycles), a heating element failure that prevents the cycle from reaching the required temperature to progress, a water fill fault, or a drain fault that triggers a protective stop.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Viking Cycle Interruption Error Code

1

Door Opened During Cycle

Opening the door mid-cycle will pause or stop the cycle on most Viking dishwasher models.
2

Heating Element Failure

The cycle requires water to reach a minimum temperature before progressing. If the heating element fails, the cycle stalls at the heating phase.
3

Control Board Fault

An ERC condition caused the control board to abort the cycle.

1

Restart the Cycle

Close the door firmly and press Start to attempt to resume or restart the cycle.
