[ All models ](https://vikingmiami.support/models/) In more detail ## About Viking wall oven error code LATCH ERROR ### What Viking publishes for it On a Viking wall oven, the manufacturer publishes this for the control being unable to lock or unlock the door latch. That sentence is Viking’s own, read out of the code table in its Use and Care manual for this equipment rather than worked out from the outside. Everything below it — what the condition covers and what is worth doing first — is ours, written from what this equipment does in Miami kitchens. ### Which alphabet this belongs to The ovens on this make spell it out: the display carries a word, not a number. Five of these messages name the part outright — the temperature probe, the door latch, the keyboard — which is unusually direct and worth taking at face value. ### What sets it off A message rather than a number is deliberately broad — the appliance is telling you it noticed something, not which part is responsible. This one comes on for: - The motorized latch on the oven door - Its switch, which tells the control where the latch is - A self-clean cycle stopped part-way, which is how the door ends up locked ### Worth knowing before you call - Note whether the door is locked shut right now — say so when booking, it changes the visit ### Then what Say whether the door is locked shut right now. A latch condition with the door open and a latch condition with dinner locked inside are the same code and two different visits, and telling us which one changes what comes on the van. Viking publishes this one for the wall ovens, combi steam ovens and speed ovens — that is wall ovens & warming drawers and ranges and microwaves on this site. The [full Viking archive](https://vikingmiami.support/error-codes/) has the other conditions, searchable, and it is worth knowing that the same token can mean two different things on two different Viking machines, so the group above is part of the answer. We repair this equipment across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
