Possible Causes

Failed heating element, Faulty heater relay on control board, Loose heater wiring, Short to earth on heater

Safety first: Unplug the washer and allow time for any hot water to cool before working near the heater.

F07 relates to the heating circuit not operating correctly.

Access heater: Remove the rear panel. The heater is at the bottom of the tub.
Visual inspection: Check for burnt connectors or leaks.
Test heater resistance: Measure across terminals. Typical values are 20–30 Ω. If open circuit, replace it.
Earth leakage test: Check for continuity between terminals and the tub.
Control board: If heater and wiring are good, the relay on the board may be faulty.
