How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before accessing internal wiring.

  • Check outlet: Ensure the Viking microwave is plugged into a dedicated, properly grounded outlet. Avoid using extension cords.
  • Secure plug: Make sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and does not wiggle.
  • Power quality: If other devices on the same circuit flicker or reset, have an electrician check the circuit.
  • Control board: If power is stable but the clock still resets, the control board's internal power supply may be failing and require replacement.
