Sharp E07 hob: 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 E07 actually means

The hob has lost the reading from the temperature sensor on one of its induction coils, so it has shut that zone down rather than heat without knowing how hot it is getting.

Underneath each cooking zone on this Sharp induction hob there is a small sensor that watches the temperature of the coil. The control board checks it constantly, and when the signal disappears or reads as an open circuit, it flags E07 and stops heating — it will not run a coil it cannot monitor. Sharp's own instruction for this code is to call a service engineer, and that is honest: it is a sensor or wiring fault inside the hob, not something the owner has done wrong.

What E07 looks like on a Sharp hob

Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Sharp hob, E07 usually shows up as one or more of these:

Not heating up
Takes ages to get to temperature
Cuts out part way through cooking
Noisy fan
Not getting cold evenly
Cuts out after a few minutes
No function at all
Dead — nothing lights up

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

Coil temperature sensor failed or gone open circuit
Sensor lead knocked loose or unplugged from the power board
Damage to the thin sensor wiring from heat over time
Fault on the induction power board that reads the sensor

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 hob off at the wall or the circuit breaker, leave it a minute, then switch back on — an occasional one-off reading will clear
Let the hob cool fully before retrying; if it has been on high for a long spell, allow twenty minutes or so
Check nothing is blocking the ventilation gap around or under the hob, such as a drawer stuffed full or packaging left in a cabinet after installation
Try the other zones — if the rest work normally, note which zone triggers the code and tell the engineer, as it saves diagnosis time

E07 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.

This one usually needs an engineer once you have tried them.

£66 including VAT for an engineer to come out and diagnose it, or £84 in total including VAT if it is put right on the visit and no parts are needed. Any parts needed are quoted on site before we fit them — you decide. Every repair carries a 90-day workmanship guarantee.

Tried the checks and it's still showing E07?

This one usually needs an engineer once you have tried the checks above. Then it wants someone who can open it up.

What it costs, before you call: the price is the same whatever the fault turns out to be — £66 including VAT for an engineer to come out and diagnose it, or £84 in total including VAT if it is put right on the visit and no parts are needed.
