What F07 actually means
The dishwasher isn't getting the water hot, so it has abandoned the cycle and flagged a heating fault.
During the heating part of the programme the control board watches the water temperature climb. If it hasn't risen as expected after the first stretch of heating (the documents give 420 seconds), the machine decides heating has failed and stops with F07, usually with the lights or display flashing. The same code is also used where the temperature sensor (NTC) readings go out of range, so it covers both "not heating" and "temperature reading wrong".
What F07 looks like on a Haden dishwasher
Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Haden dishwasher, F07 usually shows up as one or more of these:
- Dishwasher door won't open
- Door won't lock or click shut
- Door lock light flashing
- Door stuck shut with the load inside
- Won't start even with the door closed
- Not filling with water
- No water going in
- Takes for ever to fill
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
- Failed heating element, so the water never warms up
- Faulty NTC temperature sensor giving the board no usable reading, or none at all
- Break in the wiring between the sensor or heater and the control board
- Control board fault misreading the temperature
- Poor water circulation over the heater because of a blocked filter or spray arm
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 back on and restart a programme — that clears the code if it was a one-off
- Take out the bottom filter, rinse it and refit it properly, and check the spray arms spin freely and their holes aren't blocked
- Make sure the machine is being fed properly and the fill hose isn't kinked behind it
- Run a short hot programme and note whether the door and dishes feel warm at the end — that tells the engineer whether it's heating at all
Which Haden models show F07
F07 means the same thing on this model. If yours is not listed, the explanation above still applies — the code is set by the control board, not the model number.
