Viking Range Code DSI 7 Flashes: Power Applied With a Knob On

What DSI 7 Flashes means

On Viking Professional gas and dual-fuel ranges (VGIC, VGSC, VGCC, VDSC), the 3 Series RVGR3305B and Designer DCCG130, seven flashes every four seconds mean the module powered up with a channel already on. That means power was supplied while one or more burner knobs were turned on. The fix is to switch the channel off and retry. It is often a return of power after an outage with a knob left on.

Common causes of DSI 7 Flashes

Knob left on when power returned
Burner switch contact stuck on
Control board seeing a false on signal

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn every burner knob fully to the off position. 2. Wait ten seconds. 3. Switch the range breaker off for a minute, then restore power. 4. Turn one knob to light and see if the burner ignites normally. 5. If seven flashes continue, call us. Never stay in the house if you smell gas; call the gas utility once you are outside.

! Why to stop there

The pattern often clears with a knob check, but a stuck switch needs a technician
Switch contacts are inside the control area
A false on signal should not be left alone on a gas range

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 7 FlashesDSI 7 Flashes questions

Why would a knob be on when power returns?

After an outage or breaker trip, a knob left in a lit position tells the module a channel is already on. The module stops until all knobs are off.

Is seven flashes serious?

It is usually simple to clear, but make sure no gas smell is present. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.

What if turning the knobs off does not help?

Then a burner switch may be stuck in the on position or the control may be seeing a false signal. We check that during a visit and quote the price in writing before any parts are ordered.
