Error Code Explained

What Does the Viking Broil Element Failure Error Code Mean?

In Viking electric and dual-power wall ovens, the broil element at the top of the oven cavity provides high direct heat for broiling. A failed broil element results in no heat on the Broil setting, though Bake may continue to work. The broil element can fail with or without visible damage to the coil.
