Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from the mains before removing the control panel.
- Dry the fascia: If the error appeared after heavy cleaning or a spill, leave the cooker powered off for several hours to allow moisture to evaporate. Do not use the appliance until the panel is dry.
- Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the control panel trim to access the touchpad ribbon. Ensure it is fully seated in the connector and not torn or corroded.
- Check glass panel: Look for cracks or impact damage on the glass touch surface. A cracked panel can cause phantom touches and F7 errors and must be replaced.
- Clean contacts: If accessible, gently clean the ribbon contacts with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth, then reseat.
- If F7 persists: The user interface board or complete fascia assembly may need replacement.
When to call a technician: Glass panel and UI board replacement on AGA ranges is best done by an authorised engineer to avoid damage and ensure sealing.
