Possible Causes

Defective pressure sensor, Blocked pressure hose, Loose or corroded sensor connector, Control board sensor circuit fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water before removing side or bottom panels.

  • Locate pressure sensor: On many Danby dishwashers, the sensor is mounted on the side or base with a small rubber hose connected to the tub or sump.
  • Inspect hose: Remove the hose and check for soap scum, grease, or debris. Rinse thoroughly and blow through to ensure it is clear.
  • Check electrical connector: Ensure the sensor plug is fully seated and free of corrosion or moisture.
  • Reset and test: Reassemble, restore power, and run a short cycle to see if E7 clears.
  • If error returns: Replace the water level / pressure sensor. If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the control board may be at fault.
