Viking Dishwashers - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

If your machine is trying to pump out water that is not there, check the float level sensor. That is the detector that checks for water level during filling. If the pipe/mechanism is blocked, in the full position, the sensor will indicate that there is still water to be pumped out ... that is assuming the water has been pumped out otherwise look for a blockage in the outlet pipe.

I wonder if it is restarting like this one. https://www.justanswer.com/appliance/gqabi-viking-dishwasher-model-vdwu524ss-will-restart-cycle.html ..

Could be a defective cycle timer or a defect in something controlled by it

Wash Pump not working. Drain Pump is working. Wash arm jets blocked. Wash arm jammed.

Your dishwasher probably isn't level front to rear. As for the track problem, there could be a missing stop or some damaged hardware. The racks are supposed to be removable but not on their own.

Could be a stuck float valve

Possibly something stuck in the pump

Could be a defective cycle timer or a defect in some element controlled by the timer

Could be a defective cycle timer or a defect in an element controlled by the timer

Let’s assume the dishwasher is working correctly because it turns on but nothing else works. If a dishwasher does not fill with water at the correct level, it will not continue to advance. You’re not getting water. Check hot water valve under sink. The one for dishwasher. Maybe someone shut it off on accident. Also,
Water deposits like lime, calcium will build up and clog the screen on the dishwasher’s hot water intake valve.
That would need cleaned out. The valve itself will go bad alone. Regardless, once it’s getting water the dishwasher will run. Please let me know!!

Check for bent drain hose, make sure it’s not push in to far down in to drain trap, if it’s hooked up to garbage disposal check for blockage at that connection and what u want to do is see how good of the stream comes out from the end of drain hose just get big enough backer and fill unit by start cycle then drain unit by canceling cycle will put unit into drain mode
This will give you some ideas we’re to look for problem

I would expect that something may be fouling the lower arm, thus not allowing it to spin properly.

Most Viking models have overflow safety feature that turns the dishwasher into drain mode. The idea is to remove overflow water from the bottom pan. Check the pan behind kick toe panel for water, remove the water and check for leaks. If no water check overflow switch somewhere in the pan, it maybe stuck. Good luck

Hey Marlene, Your new washer must have a warranty.. use it.. call or go to the store where you purchased it... they should take care of you!!

I'm no expert on this, but it sounds as though the door latch microswitch may be at fault. This maybe located at the latch, or on the hinges.

Yes I would highly recommend calling for service, there shouldn't be any moisture leaking at all.
