# Dishwasher error code F-7

### What F-7 means on this make

The control’s stored configuration no longer verifies. As on the ovens of this era it is worth exactly one power cycle, because a single failed read after a power event sometimes never returns — and no more than that, because a machine whose stored settings are untrustworthy will behave unpredictably in ways that are harder to diagnose than a clean failure. This is a board-level problem and the availability question follows it.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

EDW and IDW dishwashers. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Cut power at the breaker for a full minute and restore it.
- If it clears, watch the machine for a week rather than assuming it is over.
- If it returns, stop relying on the machine; unpredictable behavior is the next symptom.
- Legacy board availability is confirmed before any labor is booked.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [appliance control board repair](/services/appliance-control-board-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
