Dishwasher stops and displays E07; may be associated with water remaining in the base tray.

Safety first: Immediately switch off power at the breaker and close the water supply. Avoid tipping the machine if there is a risk of electrical contact with water.

Steps:

• Check for visible leaks: Look around and under the dishwasher for water on the floor. If present, mop up and do not use the appliance until the source is found.
• Access base tray: Remove the toe-kick panel and, if safe, inspect the base tray with a flashlight. If water is present, carefully soak it up with towels or a sponge.
• Inspect float switch: Locate the float or micro-switch in the base. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck in the raised (flood) position.
• Identify leak source: Run a short cycle while observing (with panels removed, but keeping clear of live parts). Common leak points include the sump seal, circulation pump seal, inlet valve connection, and hoses.

When to call a technician: If you find a cracked sump, leaking pump seal, or cannot safely identify the leak, professional repair is strongly recommended.
