What E4
actually means.
On Viking undercounter refrigerated drawers, E4 means the display thermistor, sensor A, is reading outside its normal range. It is the sensor behind the temperature the drawer shows you. Viking says a power line fluctuation can bring the code up once without anything being wrong.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Viking's own guidance for E4 on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Clear it once: hold SET and press ON/OFF four times.
Check whether E4 comes back.
If it does, arrange service through your dealer or Viking Customer Service and quote E4 (sensor A).
What not to do
