# Dishwasher error code F7

### What F7 means on this make

The machine ran its drain pump for a full two minutes and the level did not fall, which puts the blockage somewhere between the sump and the standpipe. The cheap end of that path is the filter stack and the pump filter, and it ends this more often than anything else. The far end is the air gap at the sink or a disposal branch that was never punched out, and neither of those is the appliance’s problem.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

DW20.1 platform, 3000-series. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 8 of the appliance types this site publishes — cooktop, dishwasher, dryer, microwave, oven, range, refrigerator and washer — and publishes none at all for commercial line, freezer, microwave, oven, range, range hood and refrigerator. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Lift out the filter stack, rinse it and reseat it properly — a filter put back a quarter-turn out causes its own leak later.
- Check the drain hose is not crushed behind the cabinet.
- Check the air gap at the sink; a silted one drains slowly for years before it stops.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-1406](tel:+13053631406) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
