The dishwasher displays E7 and may stop shortly after starting the wash, sometimes with no water circulation.
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 power supply and close the water tap.
- Check for debris: Remove the filters and inspect the sump area. Some Gorenje models allow limited access to the circulation pump impeller from inside the tub; remove any foreign objects.
- Listen for pump noise: Start a cycle and listen. A humming noise without water movement suggests a jammed or failed pump.
- Access the pump: Lay the dishwasher on its back and remove the bottom panel. Locate the circulation pump attached to the sump or heater assembly.
- Inspect wiring and connectors: Ensure the pump connector is secure and free from burn marks or corrosion.
- Manual rotation: Try to rotate the pump impeller by hand (with the power off). If it is stiff or seized, the pump must be replaced.
Replacing the circulation pump involves working in a confined space with water connections; if you are not experienced, seek professional service.
