What Quick Flashing Means

On Viking's older DFUD-series undercounter dishwashers, a flashing "Quick" wine-glass-with-arrows icon flags valve leakage — documented directly in this platform's own owner's manual.

Common Causes of Quick Flashing

  • Inlet valve is failing to seal fully closed between cycles
  • Valve seat has worn from age or mineral buildup
  • Debris lodged in the valve is holding it slightly open

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Shut off the water supply valve to the dishwasher and don't run another cycle until a technician has confirmed and stopped the source.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • Running the dishwasher again while a valve is confirmed leaking risks a flooded cabinet or floor before the problem is ever addressed.
  • Replacing the valve means working on the pressurized water-supply connection, which is best handled with the line properly isolated first.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FAQ

Quick Flashing FAQ

No — shut off the supply valve and hold off until it's inspected; this problem specifically means water is getting past a valve that should be sealing shut.

Treat it as the more urgent of the two water-related lights, since it points to an active leak path rather than a fill-level issue.
