Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the motor or control board.
Step-by-step checks:
- Rule out load issues: Ensure the drum is not overloaded or with a single heavy item (e.g. duvet). Redistribute laundry and run a spin-only cycle.
- Inspect tachometer wiring: Remove the rear panel and locate the motor. Check the small connector and wires leading to the tachometer coil at the back of the motor. Reseat the connector and look for damage.
- Test tachometer coil: With the motor unplugged, measure resistance across the tachometer terminals. Typical values are a few hundred ohms. An open circuit indicates a failed tachometer.
- Check motor mounting and belt: Ensure the motor is firmly mounted and the belt is tight enough to prevent slipping.
If the tachometer and wiring are sound but E07 persists, the main PCB may not be processing the speed signal correctly and should be checked or replaced by a professional.
