Questions people ask about All LEDs flash (except start)

What does All LEDs flash (except start) mean on a Viking dishwasher?
This LED pattern means the dishwasher experienced an AC power loss while a wash cycle was actively running. The control board uses this display to alert you that the cycle was interrupted and did not complete normally. It is not a component failure warning. Pressing and holding the Start button for 3 seconds will reset the unit.
Will simply resetting the dishwasher clear the flashing LEDs permanently?
Yes, in most cases the 3-second Start button reset will fully clear the condition if the cause was a genuine one-time power interruption. If the LEDs begin flashing again after reset and normal operation, this points to a recurring power supply problem such as a tripping breaker, a loose connection, or an intermittent control board issue that needs further diagnosis.
How much does it cost to repair a Viking dishwasher that keeps showing this error?
If the cause is a tripped breaker or a loose outlet connection, there may be little to no cost involved. If a control board replacement is needed, parts and labor costs typically range from $200 to $500 or more depending on the specific model and your location. A service call for diagnosis alone generally runs in the $75 to $150 range.
How do I fix the all-LEDs-flashing condition on my Viking dishwasher?
Press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds to reset the control board and clear the alert. Before doing so, confirm that power to the unit is stable by checking your breaker panel and ensuring the outlet is functioning. Once reset, you can start a new cycle from the beginning.
Is it safe to use my Viking dishwasher after this error appears?
Yes, it is safe to use once you have performed the reset. The flashing LEDs indicate a past power interruption, not an active electrical hazard. However, if you notice the condition recurring frequently without an obvious power outage explanation, have the wiring, outlet, and control board inspected before continuing regular use.
