Viking Wine Cooler Temperature Sensor Fault
The temperature sensor (thermistor) in a Viking wine cooler monitors internal temperature and reports to the control board to regulate compressor operation. A failed sensor may report an inaccurate temperature, causing the compressor to overcool or undercool the unit. Some Viking wine cooler models display a sensor-related error code when the sensor is out of range.
What Causes the Temperature Sensor Fault Error?
The temperature sensor element has failed, reporting an incorrect temperature to the control board.
The sensor wiring connector has come loose.
