On Viking's FNIU515D, ICE and NO WATER blinking together is the evaporator temperature sensor error. The sensor at the evaporator outlet is disconnected or shorted, so the control cannot manage the freezing process. Viking ice maker display What to do when ICE and NO WATER lamps blinking shows on the ice maker ### Kind of code Temperature sensors The control lost track of how cold the ice mold or the ice compartment is, because a thermistor reads nonsense or its wire lost contact. Without that reading the ice maker cannot tell when a batch is frozen, so it stops or harvests at the wrong time. Frost packed around the sensor and a loose plug are checked before the sensor itself is changed. ### Usually leads to Ice maker control and sensor repair The control board, the thermistors, the bin sensor and the wiring that decide when an ice maker fills, freezes and stops, tested and repaired when a light flashes, a code shows, a breaker trips or the ice never stops coming. ### Shows up as Nugget Ice Maker Not Making Nugget Ice A nugget ice maker not making ice runs and hums but drops nothing, makes wet slush instead of crisp pellets, or stops after a few batches with a light on. ### Make Viking Viking ice maker repair, whether it sits under the counter or inside a built-in unit. ### Source Viking FNIU515D 15-inch panel-ready nugget ice model owner's guide (Viking's Middleby CDN PDF) Viking FNIU515D panel-ready nugget model with drain pump; the three lamps are ICE, NO WATER and DRAIN on the display panel. ## Before you book, in this order.

Write down which two lamps are blinking before switching anything off. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What does ICE plus NO WATER blinking mean on my Viking nugget ice maker? It means the evaporator temperature sensor is disconnected or shorted. The unit cannot freeze properly without that reading. ### Can I fix the evaporator sensor on a Viking myself? Viking's action is to check the sensor and its attachment and restart after the sensor is repaired. The sensor sits inside the refrigeration section, so it is a technician's job. ### Will my Viking make nugget ice with this sensor code? Not reliably. The control relies on that sensor to run each cycle, so production stops or becomes erratic. --- **[Read on the site: Viking nugget model: ICE and NO WATER lamps blinking together](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/viking-ice-and-no-water-lamps-blinking/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
