Viking Range F2 Fault Code
F2 on a Viking range or wall oven indicates the oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) is reading a short circuit — sensor resistance is below the acceptable minimum for the current temperature. The ERC shuts down oven operation as a safety measure. F2 is most commonly caused by a failed sensor probe, which is a straightforward OEM replacement. Do not use the oven with F2 active.
What Causes the F2 Error?
The resistance temperature detector probe inside the oven cavity has failed with an internal short. Replacement with a Viking OEM probe resolves F2 in most cases.
The wiring between the sensor and ERC has developed a short — typically from wire chafing against the oven cavity.
Basic Steps Before Calling a Technician
-
01Reset the Oven
Switch off the breaker for 60 seconds. If F2 does not return immediately, monitor for recurrence.
-
02Do Not Use the Oven
F2 means the oven cannot regulate temperature accurately. Do not bake or broil until the sensor has been replaced.
When to Call a Technician
F2 codes that return after reset require professional sensor replacement. Our technician tests sensor resistance and replaces the probe with a genuine Viking OEM part in a single visit.
