Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Viking's own guidance for 4-1 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Reset by holding Start for 4 seconds.
Try a normal cycle.
If 4-1 appears again, book a visit to test the sensor.
What not to do
Do not read 4-1 on a 450 Series machine the same way. That older table does not list it, so the pattern may mean something else there.
