I have a viking dishwasher that is not a year old yet. I start it and within 5 min the lights start blinking on it, so it stops?

Hello Peter!

Your owners manual or a call to Viking should help you decode the blinking panel lights. They are not random and are a desperate cry for help from the machine.

It has been my experience (YMMV) that a common dishwasher problem in older machines is accumulated grunge (the technical term) in the water level sensor. In many cases the sensor lives in a plastic container on the side of the DW and although the designers try hard to avoid contamination, the container eventually loads up and intermittently jams the float.

Before I pulled the unit however, I'd check the bottom of the wash cabinet for contaminants. There may be an screen (under a cover plate) that has clogged.

Your situation sounds a bit different, since my Samsung did not pump out water, it just stopped and flashed a code, but who knows? Go for the low-hanging, common issues first.

All the best.

Please check the user guide. There may be settings available like sleep timer in TV sets.

there is no fuse in the unit but u can unplug and plug into power 2 c if resets.

Did you try the power on button all the way to the left?

I suspect for either of these units that the timer control boards are bad.

to whom it may conern:

sorry for the delayed response, you can click on the request more assistance button or repost the problem, I don't remember what the button says but other solutions have been offered by other experts.

expert toddg has suggested that there is a 5 year warranty, is it over 5 years old?

Raise the temperature of your water supply. To reset computer open door,within 3 seconds hit hi-temp scrub then energy saver then repeat this. Close door and latch, push cancell button.
