VDWU524WS

Viking VDWU524WS Softener Dishwasher

Most common issues on this model

  1. Turbo Fan Dry not drying
  2. Softener salt or regeneration trouble
  3. Filters clogged with debris
  4. Slow drain or standing water

The VDWU524WS is a current 5 Series 24-inch dishwasher with a water softener and an installed Professional panel. It offers Turbo Fan Dry, a Smart FullSize rack, a three-position adjustable upper rack and Quiet Clean performance at 42dB.

The softener and the fan are the two parts that set it apart from simpler models. Cloudy glasses mean we check the salt and regeneration, while wet dishes send us to the fan, the vent and the door seal. We then clean the filters and arms, test the drain and run a full cycle to confirm quiet operation. The rack rollers get a quick look as well.

Because it is current, parts are normally easy to find. We quote in writing first and cover repairs with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

VDWU524WSVDWU524WS questions
How do I tell whether wet dishes come from the fan or the softener?

Cloudy film points to the softener, while droplets and standing moisture point to drying. We check both: salt and regeneration, then fan, vent and door seal.

Can I use the dishwasher without refilling softener salt?

It will run, but hard water will reduce results and leave scale. Refill promptly and let us clean any buildup that has formed on the arms and tub.

What is the Smart FullSize rack?

It is the lower rack designed for large items. If it rolls roughly, we clean and inspect the rollers and rails, replacing worn parts so it moves freely.
