Hotpoint (UK) Washer F07 Error Code
Heating circuit or board fault. Here is what it means and how to clear it, easiest fix first.
Hotpoint links this code to the electronic circuit board or heating circuit. You may notice the program pausing partway through, no heating, or the drain pump running constantly.
Applies to UK/European Hotpoint machines only, not GE-made Hotpoint washers sold in the US. Indesit's UK service site lists the same code with the same meaning.
How to fix Hotpoint (UK) F07
Switch off and unplug
Switch the machine off and unplug it. If there is water near the outlet or cord, switch off the circuit breaker instead of touching the plug. If the pump keeps running, this stops it. Turn off the water supply tap too.
Note the details for the technician
Write down the code, the program you were running and the model and serial numbers from the label inside the door. This helps the technician bring the right parts.
When to call a technician
Book a technician. The heater and control electronics need professional testing.
