What to do if my Viking Freezer is showing 4 flashes?
- V
  Victor HayesAug 2, 2025
  If your Viking Freezer inverter shows 4 flashes every 5 seconds, it could indicate compressor or system damage. Here’s what to do: * Check the compressor input power and winding resistances. * Check for leakage current between the hermetic terminal pins and the compressor shell. If resistance or leakage current is out of specification, replace the compressor. * If resistance and leakage current are within specification, check the inverter/compressor cable for an open circuit. * Unplug the inverter from the power supply, wait 2 minutes, then reconnect and wait 12 minutes. If the inverter still shows 4 flashes and the compressor is OFF, replace the compressor.

  Stephen DominguezAug 8, 2025
  If your Viking Freezer inverter shows 3 flashes every 5 seconds, it typically means there is a compressor/inverter cable open circuit or a compressor winding open circuit. To resolve this: * Check the compressor/inverter cable connection. * Check the compressor winding resistances among the 3 terminal hermetic pins. If the resistances are within specifications and the compressor/inverter cable is OK, replace the inverter.

  If your Viking Freezer shows no flash, it could be due to no input power or a damaged inverter. Here's how to troubleshoot: * Check the input power (115V). If there is no signal, check input power connections. * If the voltage is within specifications, unplug the inverter from the power supply, wait 2 minutes, then reconnect it and wait 12 minutes. If the inverter still shows no flash and the compressor is OFF, replace the inverter. * If the inverter shows no flash and the compressor is ON, the diagnostic function is not working properly.

  If your Viking Freezer inverter shows 1 flash every 15 seconds, it could be due to no signal from the control board or an open thermistor. Here’s what you can do: * If refrigerator settings (thermistor conditions) are at levels in which the compressor should be “ON”. * Unplug the inverter from the power supply and wait for 2 minutes, reconnect the inverter to the power supply and wait for 12 minutes. * If the inverter still shows 1 flash code and the compressor is OFF, then check the control board.
