Error Code Explained
What Does the Viking Dual-Zone Fault Error Code Mean?
Viking dual-zone wine coolers maintain separate temperature zones for different wine types. When one zone fails to maintain its set temperature independently — either running too warm or too cold — while the other zone is normal, the fault is typically in the zone temperature sensor, the zone air damper, or the zone control circuit.
