How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing covers.

  • Clean interior: Thoroughly clean the interior ceiling and side walls of the Viking microwave, especially near the sensor opening, to remove grease and residue.
  • Dry out cavity: Leave the door open for several hours to allow moisture to dissipate.
  • Access sensor: Remove the control panel or interior cover to reach the humidity sensor. Inspect for contamination or damage.
  • Reseat connector: Ensure the sensor harness is firmly connected at both the sensor and the control board.
  • Replace sensor: If E2 persists, replace the Viking humidity sensor with the correct part.
  • Control board: If a new sensor does not resolve E2, the main control board may need replacement.
