How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for this issue.

  • Adjust rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and increase the dosage setting on the Viking control if adjustable.
  • Use proper detergent: Switch to a high-quality detergent formulated for hard water. Avoid using too much powder or gel.
  • Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack to remove internal mineral buildup.
  • Clean spray arms: Ensure all jets are clear to provide strong rinsing action.
