Error Code Explained
What Does the Viking Lighting Fault Error Code Mean?
Viking wine coolers use LED interior lighting to illuminate the wine storage shelves when the door is opened. A lighting failure does not affect cooling performance but reduces visibility when selecting wine. The cause is typically a failed LED module or a failed door switch that activates the light.
