The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it, for [5 Series](https://vikingmiami.support/series/5-series/), [Designer Series](https://vikingmiami.support/series/designer-series/), [Professional Custom](https://vikingmiami.support/series/professional-custom/).

[ All models ](https://vikingmiami.support/models/) In more detail ## About Viking wall oven error code PROBE ERROR ### What Viking publishes for it On a Viking wall oven, the manufacturer publishes this for the meat probe being open or shorted. 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 meat probe, which is a plug-in accessory and the cheapest thing on this list - The jack in the oven cavity - A probe left plugged in when it is not being used ### Worth trying yourself, in this order - Check the probe is fully plugged in; if it is not, plug it in and press OFF to clear - Unplug the probe entirely and see whether the message goes — a spare probe settles it ### Then what The probe is a plug-in part and the cheapest thing that can be wrong with the oven, so it is worth eliminating first: unplug it entirely and see whether the message goes. If it does, the probe is the whole story. 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.
