Viking Range Error Code DSI 4 Flashes

The DSI 4 Flashes code indicates a gas solenoid fault detected by the Direct Spark Ignition control board. The board flashes its LED four times every four seconds to signal that it is detecting an abnormal condition in the gas valve solenoid circuit. This fault causes the range to lock out gas flow as a safety measure until the condition is resolved.

No. The DSI 4 Flashes fault triggers a safety lockout that prevents gas from flowing to the affected burner. Attempting to bypass or override this lockout is not safe and is not recommended. The range should remain out of service until the solenoid fault is properly diagnosed and corrected.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only a wiring connection needs to be reseated, service call fees alone may apply, typically ranging from $75 to $150 depending on your location. Replacing a gas valve solenoid or the entire gas valve can add $150 to $400 or more in parts, and DSI board replacement can range from $100 to $350 in parts cost before labor.

Some causes of this fault, such as a loose wiring connector at the gas valve or DSI board, can be addressed by a knowledgeable DIYer with basic electrical skills. However, any work involving the gas valve itself or the gas supply system should be performed by a qualified technician. If you are not comfortable working around gas appliance components, professional service is the safer choice.

A power reset by disconnecting the range from its power supply for several minutes may temporarily clear the fault display, but the code will return if the underlying problem in the solenoid circuit has not been repaired. A reset alone does not fix the wiring or component issue causing the fault.
