# Viking Replace filter: the wine column filter reminder

Replace filter is a timed reminder on the Viking 7 Series column.

## What Replace filter actually means.

Replace filter is a timed reminder on the Viking 7 Series column. It comes up every 12 months after the last reset. The column carries activated carbon filters that clean the air inside and help keep mold and bacteria down; one sits under the upper wooden drawer.

What to do when Replace filter shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.

### Usually leads to No repair

Remove the upper wooden drawer to reach the filter.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

### Make Viking

Viking wine coolers serviced where they stand, when the cabinet warms up, stays dark or keeps cycling.

### Source Viking FDWCIC7240 user guide (7 Series integrated wine column)

Viking 7 Series integrated wine columns FDWCIC7240 and FDWCIC7300, with the touch display. Messages appear when you touch ALARM; the INFO button holds a message on screen for 30 seconds.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Viking's own guidance for Replace filter on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Remove the upper wooden drawer to reach the filter.

02

Turn the filter with its key, remove it and fit the new one.

03

Reset the reminder from the Maintenance menu.

### Cleared?

The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.

### What not to do

Replace filter is not a failure and does not affect cooling. Viking’s table calls it a water filter cartridge, but the column’s filter cleans the air.

## Questions about Replace filter.

### Can I clear Replace filter myself?

Remove the upper wooden drawer to reach the filter.

### Why does a Viking wine column have a filter?

The activated carbon filters clean the air in the cabinet and help keep mold and odors away from corks and labels.

### Is it a water filter?

The message table calls it one, but the column’s filter cleans the air. It has no water connection for wine.

### What if my Viking column smells musty?

An old filter is one cause. Replace it, clean the cabinet, and book a visit if the smell returns.
