How to Reset a Viking Ice Maker

A Viking refrigerator ice maker does not have a reset button, but you must consult the user manual to find steps for resetting your specific model. But since most ice makers do not have a reset button, resetting it means lifting the wire arm to stop the ice maker. If there is a power button, press it to turn off the machine.

Wait a few minutes before turning it on again. Doing this resets the ice maker control board and corrects errors that may slow or stop the ice maker from working. However, if these reset methods do not work, get professional assistance.
