Viking Dishwasher 2-3 Error Code
A Viking dishwasher that logs 2-3 is asking for confirmation against the use & care guide. Simply Iconic can diagnose independently if the code returns.
Content status: Reviewed — wording follows cited Viking service literature; confirm decode on your exact model.
Viking dishwasher flash/E-code summary for independent service — confirm on your model tag.
Viking dishwasher code 2-3 — safe owner checks first, then independent diagnosis if it returns.
Model compatibility: Viking reuses codes across series and model years, so 2-3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
Low level sensor error — the control sees too little water in the tub. Check for overturned dishes holding water and drain hose high loop. Reset the unit by pressing and holding the START button for four seconds, then try the cycle again. Persistent codes are a booking signal for Simply Iconic; approve any repair only after a written estimate.

Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Reload dishes so nothing holds water
- Verify high loop on drain hose
- Reset the unit by pressing and holding the START button for four seconds, then try the cycle again.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
