      If your Viking Ice Maker isn't producing ice, first ensure the On/Off switch is in the correct position. Then, check the electrical breaker to confirm it hasn't tripped. Also, if the “Check Water” light is flashing blue, examine the water supply. The ice maker checks for water every 20 minutes and will automatically restart when the water supply is restored.

Usage Features

  • Undercounter/Freestanding Installation: The unit is versatile, allowing for installation beneath a countertop or as a standalone appliance.
  • Door Panel Options: The ice machine is supplied without a finished door panel. Users can choose between an accessory door panel (professional stainless steel) or a custom panel to match existing cabinetry.
    • Accessory Door Panel: Attached using 6 screws (supplied with door panel) and 2 machine screws (supplied with ice machine). Gasket removal and reinstallation are part of the process.

  • Drainage System:
    • Pump Models: Equipped with an internal drain pump to manage water removal, especially useful for installations where the drain connection is above the unit's base.
    • Gravity Models: Rely on gravity for drainage, requiring the drain connection to be below the unit's base and proper sloping of the drain tubing.
  • Service Access: The unit includes a service access panel for inspection and maintenance.
