Viking Range Code DSI 2 or 5 Flashes: Ignition Control Problem

What DSI 2 or 5 Flashes means

On Viking Professional gas and dual-fuel ranges (VGIC, VGSC, VGCC, VDSC), the 3 Series RVGR3305B and Designer DCCG130, the Direct Spark Ignition module repeats a pattern every four seconds. Two or five flashes in that cycle mean a control problem in the DSI module. The ignition board is no longer working as designed, so burners may fail to light or may behave oddly. The reading is made by watching the LED.

Common causes of DSI 2 or 5 Flashes

DSI module control problem
Power interruption that left the module in an error state
Worn connector or wiring at the module

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all knobs to off and let the burners cool. 2. Switch the breaker off for a minute, then restore power. 3. Light one burner and see if it ignites. 4. If you again see two or five flashes, stop. 5. Call us; the module is under the range panels. Gas odor? Leave right away and call the utility from outside the home.

! Why to stop there

The module cannot be reached without removing range panels
Guessing between module and wiring risks a wrong part
Gas appliances should be checked by a technician when ignition behaves oddly

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 2 or 5 FlashesDSI 2 or 5 Flashes questions

How do I know it is two or five flashes?

Watch the LED on the module over a few four-second cycles. That LED is inside the range, so a technician usually reads it during the visit.

Can a power reset help?

It can clear a one-time glitch. If two or five flashes come back after the reset, the module has a control problem that needs a technician.

Is it safe to use the oven part of a dual-fuel range?

The electric parts may still work, but burners should stay off until we check the gas side. Tell us on the phone what still runs.
