Viking Self-Clean Interlock Failure

Viking oven self-clean cycle will not start; display indicates door is not locked even though it appears closed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty door lock switch, Misaligned door latch, Broken lock motor, EOC not detecting lock status

Safety: Do not bypass safety interlocks to force self-clean; this can be hazardous.

Steps:

Verify the door closes firmly and the latch engages. Adjust hinges or latch strike if the door is loose.
Listen for the lock motor when starting self-clean. If there is no sound, test the lock motor for power and continuity; replace if defective.
Test the door lock switch for proper change of state when the lock is engaged. Replace if it does not signal locked status.
If the lock assembly is functional but the control does not recognize it, replace the EOC.
