Possible Causes

Dirty or coated drum moisture sensor bars, Broken or disconnected sensor wiring, Faulty moisture sensor module, Faulty control PCB sensor circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal wiring. Cleaning the sensor bars can be done with power off and door open.

  • Locate and clean sensor bars: Inside the drum, near the door opening, Hoover dryers often have two metal strips (moisture sensors). Wipe them thoroughly with a cloth dampened with white vinegar or mild soapy water to remove fabric softener and residue. Dry completely.
  • Avoid dryer sheets and heavy softeners: These can coat the sensors and cause E07 or incorrect dryness readings. Reduce or eliminate their use.
  • Check sensor wiring: Remove the front panel or lower access panel (model dependent) to reach the back of the sensor bars. Ensure the connectors are firmly attached and wires are not broken.
  • Test continuity: With a multimeter, check continuity from the sensor bars to the control board connector. Repair any open circuits.
  • Module/PCB check: If wiring and bars are fine but E07 persists, the moisture sensor module or main PCB may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
