Viking Range Corporation Dishwasher Flood Sensor PE050229

Genuine Viking dishwasher flood sensor used to detect water in the dishwasher base or flood pan and report a leak condition to the appliance control or safety circuit.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Both indicator lights remain on continuously during a pan-flood condition.
• A 1-1 pan flood sensor disconnect code or equivalent fault indication appears.
• The dishwasher stops operating or will not resume after a detected base-water condition.
• The drain pump may run while the appliance attempts to clear the base.
• The sensor circuit may report a fault even when no standing water is visible if the sensor, connector, or wiring is open or damaged.

Check Before Replacing

• Turn off the dishwasher and disconnect electrical power at the breaker before inspecting the appliance.
• Close the dishwasher water supply and check the accessible area under, behind, and around the unit for signs of leakage.
• If the model displays fault lights, record the pattern before resetting; Viking documentation identifies 1-1 as a pan-flood-sensor-disconnect condition and continuous lights as pan flood.
• After power and water are safely isolated, inspect the sensor connector and visible wiring for looseness, moisture, pinching, or damage if the base area is accessible.
• Do not repeatedly restart the dishwasher or bypass the flood-sensor circuit while water is present or the fault remains.

Installation Notes
