Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the proper resistance reading for the water inlet valve solenoid?
A typical resistance reading for a water inlet valve solenoid is between 1 and 2 kilo-ohms. Use a multimeter to check. A reading of zero or infinite ohms indicates a short or open circuit, respectively, and requires valve replacement.
•How do I access the water inlet valve filter on my Viking dishwasher?
The water inlet valve is usually located at the back of the dishwasher, near where the water supply line connects. You'll likely need to remove the lower access panel or pull the dishwasher out slightly to gain access. The filter is usually located inside the valve housing and can be unscrewed or pulled out for cleaning.
•Where is the flow meter located in my Viking dishwasher, and how can I test it?
The flow meter is typically located inline with the water inlet hose, often near the sump area. It measures the water flow into the dishwasher. To test it, you'll need a multimeter and the dishwasher's wiring diagram. You can check for continuity and proper voltage signals while the dishwasher is filling. Refer to the service manual for specific testing procedures and acceptable voltage ranges.
