Possible Causes

Faulty Viking flow meter, Blocked flow meter turbine, Wiring issue between flow meter and control board, Low water pressure causing misreadings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply before disconnecting any hoses.

  • Confirm water flow: Start a cycle and listen for water entering the tub. If water flows but E10 appears, the control may not be measuring volume correctly.
  • Locate flow meter: On many Viking models, the flow meter is integrated into the inlet assembly or mounted in-line on the fill hose inside the cabinet.
  • Inspect for debris: Remove the flow meter and check the internal turbine or paddle wheel for scale or debris. Clean gently with water and a soft brush.
  • Test flow meter signal: With a multimeter set to frequency or pulse mode (if available), spin the turbine and verify that pulses are generated. If no signal is detected, replace the flow meter.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the flow meter to the control board for damage or loose connections. Repair as needed.
  • Reassemble and test: Reinstall the flow meter, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm proper filling.
