On Viking Professional VDB450 and Designer DDB325 built-in dishwashers, the Pan Flood warning appears when both the Pots/Pans and Normal Wash lights flash continuously. The moisture sensor in the base pan has detected water where there should be none, which usually means a leak under the tub. The dishwasher stops and waits until you reset it. Dry the area before you restart it.
1. Turn off the water supply under the sink and switch off the dishwasher's breaker. 2. Look at the floor and cabinet for water and dry what you can reach. 3. Restore power and hold START for four seconds to reset. 4. If Pan Flood returns or you see water, leave the supply off and call us.
It is the tray under the tub that catches leaks. The sensor sits in it and raises the alarm as soon as it gets wet, before water reaches the cabinet floor.
A large spill over the door could, but a real leak is more common. If the warning returns after you dry the area and reset, assume there is a leak.
No. Shut off the water, and stop using the dishwasher until we find the source. A slow leak can damage the cabinet and the flooring before you notice it.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
