SOURCE: Viking dishwasher that does not stop draining
If the cycle does not stop draining that is usually because of a faulty
water level sensor. The floater that controls the water level in your appliance.
The faulty sensor cause the machine to think that there is still water inside, even when water has drained completely. Check if sensor is stuck or if switch is faulty.
Some machine may use a membrane switch instead of a floater.

Try clearing the air gap (which is the seemingly pointless thing that is near your kitchen faucet.)
1.Take off the shiny metal cover, and you can sometimes twist off the plastic cap, or you may need to use needle nose pliers to push in the tabs that hold it in. You may or may not see debris in the tube that is in the air-gap.
2. Now what you need to do is take a clear glass and put it over the air-gap with part of the glass hanging over the edge of the sink, you may want to put a towel around the other side of the glass to keep the water from going all over the counter, turn the dishwasher off then on again and select "rinse and hold". If there is any thing in the line it will come out.
3.If not you may need to take out the filter in the bottom of the dishwasher and on the left hand side in the sump area there is a small, (usually yellow) cap that covers the drain motor impeller that can usually be pulled towards the center/right by hand, if not with needle nose pliers. You will need to vacuum out the water with a wet/dry vacuum or towels.
If none of this works, let me know and I will go over some more uncommon draining problems.
SOURCE: Hello, I have a built in Viking dishwasher and
It sounds like one of two things: Inside the door are simple micro switches on the latch assembly it could be that one of these is not making a good contact or is misaligned. Secondly the latch on the top of the dishwasher could be loose meaning that it is not engaging the latch mechanism inside the door itself. Hope this helps. Let me know if you get anywhere with that!

if is continueously running because the unit is trying to get rid of the water in this instance shut off the water and shut off the electrical breaker disconnect the drain hose and assure that there is nothing blocking the end of the hose that goes to your sink or garbage disposal if this is clear you would de install the unit and pull the whole unit outward. you would then follow that same drain line to its oppisite end and check for any obstrcutions there as well if there are not you would try to disassemlbe the drain pump which will definetly make the water come out of the machine when you do this so you may want to use a shop vac to empty the water down the bottom of the machine before taking off the drain pump you can actually do a bench test on the drain pump or you can leave the pump inside of the machine after you assure that nothing is blocking the impellar of the pump and hit the cancel button or set the unit to drain depending on which you have controls are differnt in some models if the pump doesnt turn on then you would replace the pump if it does you would then to the inside of the machine and do a continuity test on the float switch to assure this is working properly and the float is not jammed in a position run these tests and checks and message me back with your finds and please remember when our chat has fully concluded to rank how this opinion has helped it allows me to help others in the future Thanks Rick
