Viking lists FH on its Designer electric cooktop as a control error in the EEPROM, the memory the board uses to store its settings. The control stops the elements until the problem clears. Viking cooktop display What to do when FH shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Boards and communication The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Touch control repair Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting. ### Shows up as Cooktop Controls Unresponsive Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element. ### Make Viking A Mississippi maker of pro-style kitchens whose US site lists both cooktops and rangetops. ### Source Viking Designer electric cooktop use and care manual, Error Codes Viking Designer built-in electric cooktops with touch controls, per the use and care manual F20699. Other Viking cooktops use different displays. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Viking's own guidance for FH on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Switch the breaker off for a minute and back on. 02 Book a visit if FH comes back after the reset. 03 If FH showed up just after a power outage or surge, say so when you book. ### Still there? It usually turns into [touch control repair](https://cooktoprepair.center/services/touch-control-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do FH is not caused by anything on the glass or by the cookware. It is internal to the control board. ## What you may notice with it. The cooktop problems FH tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

Switch the breaker off for a minute and back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Will a power reset fix FH on my Viking cooktop? Sometimes a reset clears a one-time memory error. If FH returns, the control board needs testing. ### Can a power outage cause FH? A sudden loss or surge of power can upset stored data. If FH appeared after an outage and a reset clears it, no repair may be needed. ### Is FH on a Viking Designer electric cooktop a display problem or a memory problem? Viking's table names the EEPROM, the memory the control board uses to store its settings. The display only reports it, so the board is what gets tested. --- **[Read on the site: Viking electric cooktop showing FH | CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/viking-fh/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
