Beko F07 washing machine: what it means & what to check

Stop using it for now. Carrying on with this fault risks further damage or a leak. Switch it off at the wall until it has been looked at.

What F07 actually means

The machine can't tell how much water is in the drum, so it refuses to run a programme.

F07 is the water level (pressure) sensor fault on Beko washers. Because the control board has no trustworthy level reading, it assumes the drum may be overfilled — so it pumps out instead of filling, and the programme never gets going. The usual complaint we hear is that it drains every time it's switched on and then sits there doing nothing.

What F07 looks like on a Beko washing machine

Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Beko washing machine, F07 usually shows up as one or more of these:

Machine not draining
Water left in the drum at the end of the cycle
Stops mid-cycle full of water
Standing water in the bottom
Not filling with water
No water going in
Takes for ever to fill
Stops right at the start of the cycle

Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.

What usually causes it

The level sensor's plug has worked loose or come off its socket
A failed water level sensor
Blocked or split pressure hose between the tub and the sensor
On models with Aquastop, water leaking around the Aquastop assembly
Less often, a fault on the electronic control board

What you can safely check yourself

Work through these in order. Anything beyond this — panels off, testing parts, anything to do with the wiring — is an engineer's job, and not one to attempt with the machine plugged in.

Turn the machine off at the wall for a minute, then switch it back on and try a short programme — occasional one-off readings do clear.
Look underneath and around the machine and behind it for any sign of water or damp; if the inlet hose has an Aquastop head, check that area is dry.
Check the drain hose isn't kinked or pushed too far down the standpipe, as siphoning can confuse the level reading.
Clean the pump filter at the bottom front and make sure the drum isn't holding standing water.
