Make sure the front grille is not blocked and the unit is not next to an oven or other heat source. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### All three lamps on my Viking nugget ice maker are blinking. What now? That is Er01: the evaporator did not get below freezing after half an hour of ice making. Check the airflow at the grille, cycle the power once, and book a visit if it returns. ### Is Er01 on a Viking always a refrigerant leak? No. Viking lists a refrigerant leak check and a check of the sensor and its attachment. A loose or failed sensor can make a working system look warm. ### Should I keep restarting my Viking after Er01? Viking says to resupply power after the cooling problem is resolved. Repeated restarts without a repair only hide the cause. --- **[Read on the site: Viking nugget model: ICE, NO WATER and DRAIN lamps all blinking (Er01)](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/viking-er01/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
