Questions people ask about Flash all LEDs but start and run continuously

What does Flash all LEDs but start and run continuously mean on a Viking dishwasher?
This flashing LED pattern means the dishwasher detected a loss of AC power while a wash cycle was running. The control board stores this event and displays the alert when power is restored so you know the previous cycle may not have completed. It is not a component failure, but rather a notification about a power interruption event.
Will resetting the dishwasher clear this alert permanently?
Yes, performing the reset by holding Start for 3 seconds will clear the alert. However, if the underlying cause of the power interruption is not resolved, the same alert can return the next time power drops during a cycle. Addressing any loose connections, tripped breakers, or unstable power supply will prevent the alert from recurring.
How much will it cost to fix this issue on a Viking dishwasher?
If the cause is simply a tripped breaker or a momentary outage, there is no repair cost at all beyond your time to reset the unit. If a loose outlet, junction box wiring, or door latch repair is needed, professional service costs typically range from $75 to $250 depending on local labor rates and whether any parts are required. Control board replacement, if ever needed for a related issue, can range from $200 to $500 or more for parts and labor.
How do I clear this error on my Viking dishwasher?
Press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds to reset the control board and clear the alert. After resetting, check your circuit breaker and power supply to make sure power is stable, then restart the wash cycle normally. If the alert returns repeatedly, investigate the power supply for intermittent issues.
Is it safe to keep using my Viking dishwasher after this error appears?
In most cases, yes. This alert indicates a past power interruption, not a dangerous internal fault. However, if you suspect a wiring issue or if the circuit breaker is tripping repeatedly, have the electrical circuit inspected before continuing to use the appliance. Persistent breaker trips can indicate an overloaded or faulted circuit that should be addressed promptly.
