Viking Dishwasher Error Code Flash all LEDs

Flashing all LEDs on a Viking dishwasher indicates that AC power was lost while a wash cycle was running. The control board detects the mid-cycle power interruption and activates all indicator lights as a status alert. It is not a component failure code but rather a notification that the cycle ended abnormally. Performing the reset procedure clears the alert so the dishwasher can be used again.

Yes, in most cases the dishwasher is safe to use after the flashing LED alert is cleared with a reset. The condition simply means power was interrupted during a cycle, not that the appliance is damaged. However, if the flashing recurs repeatedly, investigate the cause of the power interruptions before continuing to use the unit, as frequent power loss could point to an underlying electrical issue.

If the issue is simply a household power interruption, the reset costs nothing. If a faulty wall outlet needs replacement, repair costs typically range from $75 to $200 depending on labor rates. A control board replacement, if required for a persistent internal power supply fault, can range from $300 to $600 or more including parts and labor. Diagnosing the exact cause first is important to avoid unnecessary repairs.

On Viking 325 and 450 series dishwashers, press and hold the START button for 3 seconds to reset the control board and clear the flashing LED condition. After releasing the button, the LEDs should return to normal standby behavior. Once reset, you can start a new cycle as usual. If the lights continue to flash after this step, inspect the home circuit and power connections before attempting another reset.

The reset clears the alert from the control board immediately, but if the root cause of the power interruption is not addressed, the condition will return the next time power is lost during a cycle. A one-time outage or tripped breaker typically will not cause the issue to recur after a reset. Repeated occurrences suggest a persistent problem with the home circuit or the dishwasher's power supply connections.
