Error Code Explained
What Does the Viking Convection Fan Fault Error Code Mean?
Viking wall ovens with TruConvec convection use a fan and third heating element at the back of the oven cavity to circulate heated air evenly. A failed convection fan motor results in uneven baking, longer cook times, and failure of the convection mode to provide the expected performance improvement over standard bake.
