Why Viking 301 Dishwasher does not start?
To resolve the issue of a Viking dishwasher not starting, make sure the door is closed securely, the “DELAY START” option is not turned on, the water supply is properly connected and turned on, the power cord is correctly plugged into the wall socket, and the fuse box does not have a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
What to do if Viking 301 Dishwasher will not drain?
If your Viking dishwasher isn't draining, ensure the door is firmly closed, the dishwasher is turned on, the water feed line is not crimped, and the water supply is available and turned on. Also, check the drain hose for any clogs, obstacles, kinks, folds, or sharp bends.
Why Viking Dishwasher leaves dishes not dry?
If your Viking dishwasher leaves dishes not dry, allow more drying time when using non-heat drying. Fill the rinse agent dispenser, as rinse agent helps dishes dry faster. Note that certain plastic materials are difficult to dry and may need towel drying. Avoid overloading or nesting items, ensuring all surfaces drain well. Load items with concave bases so water can run off, and unload the lower rack first to prevent water from the upper rack spilling onto the lower rack.
How to remove yellow or brown marks from Viking Dishwasher?
To address yellow or brown marks on items in your Viking dishwasher, pour one teaspoon to one tablespoon of citric acid crystals instead of the prewash detergent, followed by a full detergent wash using the pots/pans or normal wash cycle as a temporary solution. For a permanent solution, install an iron removal system in the water supply. Note that yellow film on sterling silver can result from washing copper items in the same load, but silver polish usually removes the stain. Stains from tea or coffee (tannic acid) can be removed by hand using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water, but do not use this on sterling silver or silverplate.
How to remove cloudy film on glassware from Viking 301 Dishwasher?
To address cloudy film on glassware or etching of glass in your Viking dishwasher, if vinegar or citric acid rinse doesn’t remove the film, the cloudiness is likely “etching,” which is permanent. If you have soft water, use the least amount (one teaspoon) of recommended dishwasher detergent to prevent etching.
Why does Viking Dishwasher leave small particles deposited on items?
If you notice small particles deposited on items in your Viking dishwasher, use only fresh detergent, stored in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place. Fill the dispenser only when ready to start the dishwasher. Use the recommended amount of detergent, especially with hard water. Also, load dishes to prevent water and detergent from being trapped in or between items, ensuring water circulates freely. Pay particular attention to spoons so they do not nest and prevent water penetration. Make sure filters are installed properly, as the filter may have clogged due to heavy sediment, food soil, or hard water conditions.
Why does my Viking 301 have odor?
If your Viking dishwasher has an odor, and you are only running it every 2 to 3 days, bacteria in the food soil left on your dishes may be the cause. Use the Rinse/Hold option in between cycles. To help eliminate the odor, use a detergent with chlorine bleach and an extra heat option with your cycle. If large chunks of food soil are left on plates and dishes, it may take several washes for them to pass through the filtration system. Make sure the dishwasher is cool; remove chunks of food soil from the filter area, then run your dishwasher as normal.
Why is there excessive foam in Viking 301?
To address excessive foam in your Viking dishwasher, use only dishwasher detergent.
Why does water back up in sink when Viking 301 Dishwasher drains?
If you experience water backing up in the sink when your Viking dishwasher drains, check the disposer and trap at the sink for blockage or food particles.
Why is detergent left in detergent compartment of Viking 301?
If detergent is left in the detergent compartment of your Viking dishwasher, the cover may not be opening because of improperly loaded items. Move dishes that may be blocking it. If the detergent is hard or caked in the box, throw it away and use only fresh detergent, adding it just before starting the dishwasher.
