What Er15

What to do when Er15 shows on the ice makerKind of codeWater supply and fill
The ice maker asked for water and got too little, too slowly or none at all, or water kept arriving after the fill should have ended. A closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter and low house pressure are ruled out before the water inlet valve is replaced or the fill tube is thawed. If water is on the floor, close the supply valve before reading anything on the display.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Viking's own guidance for Er15 on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open the shutoff valve that feeds the unit fully and look along the line for kinks.
Give the automatic reset 5 minutes and see whether the lamp stops as water arrives.
If it keeps blinking with good pressure at the kitchen tap, book a visit to test the water level sensor.

What not to do
Er15 is not a drain problem. The NO WATER lamp is about water coming in, while the DRAIN lamp covers water going out.
