Viking Dishwasher 1-1 Error Code
Seeing 1-1? On many Viking dishwasher appliances that readout is model-family specific. Capture the full display string and rating plate before booking Simply Iconic.
Content status: Reviewed — wording follows cited Viking service literature; confirm decode on your exact model.
Plain-language Viking DW guidance — not a factory authorized procedure.
Independent Viking help for 1-1 (dishwasher): model tag + display photo speed the visit.
Model compatibility: Viking reuses codes across series and model years, so 1-1 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
Pan flood sensor disconnect — the control does not see the base flood/moisture sensor. 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.
Symptoms you may notice
- Program lights flash the 1-1 pattern
- Dishwasher stops mid-cycle
- May follow moisture in the base pan
Possible causes
- Open flood/moisture sensor circuit
- Disconnected sensor harness
- Water in base pan triggering protection
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Reset the unit by pressing and holding the START button for four seconds, then try the cycle again.
- Check for visible water under or around the dishwasher
- Confirm drain hose high loop per installation guide
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.
What not to attempt
- Do not open internal panels or access high-voltage components
- Do not bypass door locks, safety switches or interlocks
When to call a technician
If 1-1 persists after the safe checks above, book Simply Iconic for independent Viking diagnosis with your model and serial numbers. Not an official Viking factory service center.
