What NO WATER and DRAIN lamps blinking
actually means.
On Viking's FNIU515D, NO WATER and DRAIN blinking together, with the ICE lamp not blinking, is the ice full sensor error. The temperature sensor in the storage bin that tells the unit when to stop is disconnected or shorted, so the unit cannot judge the bin level.

What to do when NO WATER and DRAIN lamps blinking shows on the ice makerKind of codeTemperature 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.

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 asIce Maker Making Too Much Ice
The ice maker making too much ice overfills the bin, pushes cubes into the chute, jams the door ice compartment or keeps the freezer drawer from closing.
