What Fourth white LED lit
actually means.
The three white LEDs show fan speeds one to three and the fourth shows power mode. Power mode moves the most air and is meant only for heavy smoke, strong smells or a lot of steam. It returns to speed 3 on its own after 6 minutes.

What to do when Fourth white LED lit shows on the range hoodKind of codeMode, not a failure
The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual, or simply waiting, ends it.
Usually leads toNo repair
Use power mode only for short bursts of heavy smoke or steam.
Shows up asReading a Range Hood Error Code or Blinking Light
A range hood error code may appear as letters and numbers on a display, a light that blinks in a pattern, a filter reminder that will not clear, or a beep with the fan refusing to start.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Viking's own guidance for Fourth white LED lit on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Use power mode only for short bursts of heavy smoke or steam.
Expect it to fall back to speed 3 after 6 minutes; that is normal.
If the fan will not leave power mode, or the motor cuts out and restarts, book a visit.
Cleared?
The code is gone and the blower pulls steam up on every speed again without a new part. If it returns this week, or the filter reminder keeps coming back right after a cleaning, mention it in the booking.
What not to do
The fourth LED is not an alarm. A motor that switches off and on again by itself is the thermal switch reacting to overheating, which Viking says needs its cause found.

The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.
Under-cabinet range hood
The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.
Island range hood
The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.

Three things make the booking useful: the letters or blink pattern exactly as they showed, the full model number from the label behind the filters, and whether the fan still moves air on every speed. With those, the technician arrives with half the answer already worked out.
