What Hot water / pumped out means

On the Viking 24-inch Combi Steam/Convect ovens VCSO244 and DCSO244 (2005 to 2010), such as the VCSO244SS and DCSO244SS, the message Hot water / pumped out is a normal status. When the boiler water is above 175F (80C) after cooking, the oven does not pump it out right away. It waits until the water cools, and pumps in cold water from the tank to speed the cooling. The message tells you the oven is protecting its pump and drain.

Common causes of Hot water / pumped out

  • Boiler water still hotter than 175F (80C) after cooking
  • Cold tank water being added to cool the boiler
  • A normal cool-down step after a long steaming session
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Leave the oven alone and let the cool-down finish. 2. Keep the water tank in place and do not remove it. 3. Do not open the door repeatedly. 4. Wait for the message to clear before the next steam cycle. 5. If it stays for a very long time, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • This message is normal and needs no repair
  • Interrupting the cool-down can cause new messages
  • A visit is useful only if it never ends
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.

Hot water / pumped outHot water / pumped out questions
Is Hot water / pumped out an error?

No. It is a normal status. The oven is cooling the boiler water before draining it, and the message ends when the water is cool enough.

How long does it take?

Usually several minutes, depending on how hot the boiler was. Cold water from the tank speeds it up. Leave the oven on until the message clears.

When should I worry?

If the message stays far longer than usual or the water never drains, the pump or sensor may need a look. We quote in writing first and give a 30-day workmanship warranty.
