What the F07 Error Code Means
The F07 error code indicates a problem with the door of the washing machine. The machine cannot confirm that the door is properly closed and locked before starting or continuing the programme. This can be caused by an obstruction, a faulty door latch or a faulty door lock mechanism.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Door not fully closed
The most common cause. If the door has not been pushed firmly shut until it clicks, the machine will not be able to lock it and the cycle cannot start.
Obstruction preventing the door from closing
An item of clothing or other object caught in the door seal or between the door and the drum can prevent the door from closing fully.
Faulty door latch or catch
The door latch or catch mechanism may be worn or broken, preventing the door from engaging the lock correctly.
Faulty door lock
The electronic door lock (interlock) may have failed and is not engaging or reporting to the control board correctly.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection to the door lock can prevent it from operating or communicating with the control board.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the door is fully closed
Open and firmly close the door until you hear it click into place. Ensure no laundry is caught in the door seal.
Inspect the door seal
Check the rubber door seal for any trapped clothing or objects that may be preventing the door from closing completely.
Check the door latch
Inspect the door latch and the corresponding catch on the machine body for any visible damage or misalignment.
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary door lock fault.
