Viking Range Code DSI 4, 6 or 8 Flashes: Gas Solenoid Problem

What DSI 4, 6 or 8 Flashes means

On Viking Professional gas and dual-fuel ranges (VGIC, VGSC, VGCC, VDSC), the 3 Series RVGR3305B and Designer DCCG130, four, six or eight flashes every four seconds from the DSI module point to a gas solenoid problem. The solenoid is the valve the module opens to let gas flow to a burner. When it does not respond correctly, the burner may not light or may not shut off as it should.

Common causes of DSI 4, 6 or 8 Flashes

Gas solenoid not responding to the module
Wiring or plug between module and solenoid
Control problem in the DSI module

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all knobs to off. 2. If you smell gas, leave the house now and call the gas utility from outside. 3. If there is no smell, switch the breaker off for a minute and back on. 4. Do not keep trying to light burners. 5. Call us.

! Why to stop there

The gas valve and solenoid are gas-carrying parts and need trained hands
The module and solenoid wiring sit inside the range body
A mistake here is a safety matter, not just a repair

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

DSI 4, 6 or 8 FlashesDSI 4, 6 or 8 Flashes questions

What is the gas solenoid?

It is an electric valve that opens when the module calls for a flame. If it sticks or the signal is wrong, the burner may not light or may not shut off properly.

Is a burner that will not shut off dangerous?

Yes, treat it seriously. Turn the knob to off, and if gas keeps flowing or you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
