Open the supply valve behind or below the unit all the way and follow the line for kinks or ice. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is the Check Water light flashing on my Viking ice maker? No water is coming in. Look at the shutoff valve, the supply line and, in cold weather, whether the line has frozen. ### Do I need to reset my Viking after fixing the water supply? No. The control checks for water every 20 minutes and restarts ice making automatically when water returns. ### Can low water pressure trigger the Check Water light on a Viking? Very low pressure can starve the unit, so check how strongly a nearby tap runs. If pressure is normal and the light keeps flashing, the inlet valve needs testing. --- **[Read on the site: Viking 15-inch ice maker: Check Water light flashing blue](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/viking-check-water-flashing/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
