Error Code Explained
What Does the Viking Water Dispenser Fault Error Code Mean?
A Viking refrigerator water dispenser that stops working despite the ice maker continuing to produce ice typically has a frozen water line in the door (the line that feeds the dispenser specifically), a failed door water valve, or a failed dispenser paddle switch or control board.
Root Causes
Common Causes of the Viking Water Dispenser Fault Error Code
-
1Frozen Water Line in DoorThe water line running through the freezer door to the dispenser has frozen solid. This is common if the freezer temperature is set too low.
-
2Failed Water Inlet Valve (Dispenser Port)The specific solenoid port on the water inlet valve that feeds the dispenser has failed.
-
3Failed Dispenser SwitchThe paddle or button switch actuator that signals the control board to dispense water has failed.
