On Viking undercounter refrigerated drawers, a flashing E2 means the control saw the condenser fan motor drawing more or less current than it should. The control watches the main refrigeration parts all the time and flashes a code when one of them goes outside its normal range. Viking also warns that a power line fluctuation can bring up a code when nothing is wrong.

The first time you see it, clear it: hold SET and press ON/OFF four times. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does one flashing E2 on my Viking drawer mean the fan motor is bad? Not necessarily. Viking notes that a power line fluctuation can bring up a code with nothing wrong, so clear it first by holding SET and pressing ON/OFF four times. A repeat over the following days is what indicates a real condenser fan motor issue. ### Is E2 on a Viking refrigerated drawer the same as a compressor code? No, E2 is the condenser fan motor drawing current outside its normal range. The compressor has its own code, E1. Mention E2 specifically when you arrange service. --- **[Read on the site: Viking refrigerator showing E2 | RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/viking-e2/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
