Viking oven display shows F06 and the control panel becomes unresponsive or erratic.

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before removing the control panel or touching any wiring.

Steps to check and correct:

• Inspect for moisture: If the error appeared after a boil-over or heavy cleaning, allow the control area to dry for several hours with power off. Moisture can temporarily short the touchpad.
• Access control panel: Remove the screws securing the front control panel or bezel. Carefully tilt it forward to expose the ribbon cable and control board.
• Reseat ribbon cable: Disconnect the flat ribbon cable from the control board, inspect for corrosion or damage, and reconnect it firmly. Ensure it is fully seated and locked.
• Visual inspection: Look for burnt components or darkened areas on the control board. If present, the board should be replaced.
• Test operation: Restore power and test all buttons. If some keys do not respond or F06 returns, the touchpad or entire user interface assembly may need replacement.

When to call a technician: If replacing the touchpad or control board is required, or if you see evidence of board damage, professional service is advisable.
