Possible Causes

Failed dual or triple water inlet valve, Blocked water filter causing low flow, Faulty water flow sensor (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply before disconnecting any water lines.

Steps:

  • Check water supply: Confirm the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
  • Inspect water filter: Remove the Viking water filter and install a bypass plug (if available) or a new OEM filter. Low flow through a clogged filter can trigger errors.
  • Access inlet valve: Typically located at the rear bottom of the unit. Remove the rear panel to expose the valve assembly.
  • Check for leaks and blockages: Inspect the valve and tubing for kinks, mineral buildup, or leaks.
  • Electrical test: With power on and a call for water (dispenser or ice fill), check for voltage at the appropriate valve solenoid. If voltage is present but no water flows, the valve is likely defective.

Corrective action: Replace the water inlet valve assembly if it fails to open with proper voltage or shows signs of internal blockage. Use only Viking-approved valves to ensure correct pressure and flow.
