What the All flash error code actually means

All the lights on your Viking dishwasher are flashing because the machine noticed it lost power at some point, either during a wash cycle or while it was sitting idle. This is the dishwasher's way of letting you know it needs to be reset before it will run normally again. Try resetting it by cutting the power at the breaker for about a minute, then turning it back on.

Questions people ask about All flash

What does All flash mean on a Viking dishwasher?
The All flash condition means the dishwasher's control board detected a loss of power. All indicator lights flash simultaneously to alert you that the unit's previous operating state was interrupted and a reset is needed before normal operation can resume. It is a notification function, not necessarily a sign of a component failure.
How do I fix the All flash error on a Viking dishwasher?
Start by resetting the unit at the breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power and attempt to run a cycle. Also check that the circuit breaker for the dishwasher is fully engaged and that all power connections are secure. If the condition keeps coming back, inspect the door latch switch and wiring connections before considering a control board replacement.
How much does it cost to repair a Viking dishwasher with the All flash error?
If the cause is simply a power interruption, there is no repair cost beyond your time to reset the unit. If a door latch switch needs replacement, parts and labor typically range from $75 to $200 depending on your location and service provider. A control board replacement, if required, generally runs between $200 and $500 or more for parts and labor combined.
Will resetting my Viking dishwasher clear the All flash condition?
In most cases, yes. Turn off the circuit breaker supplying the dishwasher, wait at least 60 seconds, then restore power to allow the control board to reinitialize. If the all-flash condition clears and does not return, the cause was likely a one-time power interruption. If it returns repeatedly, further diagnostic inspection is needed.
Is it safe to use my Viking dishwasher when the All flash error is showing?
The dishwasher will not operate normally while all lights are flashing, as the control board requires a reset before accepting new commands. The condition itself does not indicate an immediate safety hazard, but you should investigate repeated occurrences to rule out a wiring problem or failing component before continued use.
