What F07 actually means
The washing machine's control board has reported an internal fault and stopped the programme.
F07 is one of Hisense's electronic module faults. The main control board has either detected a problem with itself or lost a sensible signal from one of the parts it monitors, so it halts the wash rather than carry on blind. Hisense's own instruction is to switch the machine off for a few seconds and try again; if the code comes straight back, it needs looking at.
What F07 looks like on a Hisense washing machine
Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Hisense washing machine, F07 usually shows up as one or more of these:
- Machine 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
- Machine not draining
- Water left in the drum at the end of the cycle
- Stops mid-cycle full of water
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
- A one-off glitch in the control board after a power cut or surge
- Excess foam from too much detergent confusing the machine's sensors
- A failed or damp-affected main control board
- A loose or corroded internal connection between the board and a component
- A faulty sensor or motor feeding bad readings back to the 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 programme dial to Off, switch the machine off at the wall for a minute, then switch back on and try a short cycle
- If you had a lot of foam in the drum, run a rinse and spin with no detergent and use less next time
- Check the drain hose isn't kinked and clean the pump filter at the bottom front, so the machine isn't sitting in water
- Make sure the door is properly shut and nothing is trapped in the seal
