E7 error, alarm beeping, freezer may be too warm or too cold intermittently.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before removing trims or panels around the door area.

• Locate the door switch: On upright Hoover freezers, the door switch is usually in the cabinet frame near the top; on chest freezers, it may be in the hinge area or under the top lip.
• Check operation: Press the switch plunger by hand (or close the door) and listen for the interior light turning off/on. If the light stays on or off regardless of switch position, suspect the switch.
• Inspect for damage: Remove the switch from the cabinet (usually clipped or held by one screw). Check for broken plastic, corrosion, or loose terminals.
• Test with a multimeter: With the freezer unplugged, measure continuity across the switch terminals while pressing and releasing the plunger. It should change from open to closed. If not, the switch is faulty.
• Check wiring: Gently pull some wire out of the cavity and inspect for breaks or crushed insulation, especially near the hinge area.
• Replace the switch: Install a new door switch / lid switch compatible with your Hoover freezer. Connect wires firmly and refit the switch into the cabinet.
• Test: Restore power, open and close the door to confirm the interior light and alarm behave correctly and the E7 code clears.

Technician tip: If the switch and wiring are good but E7 persists, the main PCB door-sensor input may be defective and require professional diagnosis.
