What this error means
Water level sensor fault — the pressure sensor has completely stopped responding
The E07 error means the water level pressure sensor has sent no signal to the control board at all — it has completely stopped responding rather than sending an incorrect reading. E07 most commonly indicates a disconnected pressure hose, a completely blocked pressure hose drum stub, a failed pressure sensor, or a broken wire to the sensor.

Step-by-step
Symptoms to look for
- Machine fills then pauses without beginning to tumble
- Programme stops during the fill phase with E07 displayed
- Machine fills to an unusually high level before faulting
- E07 appears on every cycle without exception
Diagnostic steps
Unplug the machine and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Leave unplugged for 60 seconds. Plug back in and run a 40-degree programme. If E07 clears and the machine fills normally, the fault was a temporary signal dropout.
With the machine unplugged, remove the top panel. Locate the pressure hose running from the drum stub to the sensor. Check that it is still connected at both ends — a hose that has pulled off a stub fitting causes an immediate total signal dropout. Push both ends firmly back onto their stubs and test before investigating further.
Disconnect the hose from both stubs. Blow firmly through the full length — for E07 you are looking for a complete blockage. If no airflow passes at all, the hose is fully blocked. Flush with warm water to clear, then dry fully before refitting. Clear the drum stub with a cotton bud.
With the hose disconnected and the wiring connector removed, test across the sensor terminals. Blow gently into the hose port — the resistance should change as pressure is applied. A sensor that reads OL in all states with no change has completely failed.
Trace the wiring from the pressure sensor to the main harness. The connector must be fully seated with clean, uncorroded pins. Disconnect and firmly reconnect.
Push the pressure hose firmly onto both stubs. Replace the top panel. Run a 40-degree programme and observe the fill — the drum should fill to the normal level, pause briefly, then begin tumbling.
When to call an engineer
- Pressure hose drum stub completely blocked with hardened limescale — soaking required
- Pressure sensor reads OL in all states with no change when pressure is applied — sensor has failed
- Wiring connector to pressure sensor is fully disconnected or corroded
- E07 persists after hose clearing and connector reseating — sensor must be replaced
