What F__ error means

On the current Viking RVL steam ovens such as the MVSOC6301SS and MVSOC6301BG, the display can show Other F__ Error with a number. No numbered list of these codes is available to owners. The instruction is to remove power, restore it after 10 seconds, and, if the message persists, to note the code number and contact service. The number can also be found in the event log.

Common causes of F__ error

  • A temporary glitch that clears after a power cycle
  • A sensor, heater or control condition identified by the F number
  • A water system problem on a steam oven
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Write down the F number shown. 2. Switch the oven off at the breaker. 3. Wait 10 seconds and switch it back on. 4. Check whether the message returns. 5. If it does, call us with the number and the model.

! Why to stop there
  • No public list explains each F number, so we read it with the unit
  • A reset is the official first step
  • Repeating the same cycle may repeat the condition
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.

F__ errorF__ error questions
Which F number do I have?

The display shows it. If it has cleared, the event log on the oven records it. Write the number down and give it to us with the full model number.

Will the 10-second reset fix it?

It can clear a one-off glitch. If the message returns, there is a real condition behind it and the oven needs testing, so write down the number before you call us.

Do you have a list of F numbers?

No public list exists, so we do not guess. We read the number on the unit, test the related parts, and quote the price in writing before work.
