KitchenAid Dishwasher F7E0 Error Code
If your KitchenAid dishwasher shows F7E0, start with the safe checks here — the code often tracks wash motor before any parts talk.
KitchenAid homeowner guide language only — not a factory service procedure.
F7E0 — Wash motor on a KitchenAid dishwasher (confirm for your model).
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F7E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
Wash-motor related fault. Two KitchenAid units can share a display string yet mean different subsystems; verify the definition for your serial family.
Symptoms you may notice
- The dishwasher shows F7E0 and movement stalls or is noisy
- The drum or fan doesn’t turn as expected with F7E0
- The dishwasher interrupts its cycle when F7E0 appears
Possible causes
- An obstruction or imbalance affecting movement
- A motor, belt or bearing issue (varies by model)
- A control or sensor related to the motor
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Confirm the load is balanced and not jammed
- Check for visible obstructions around the drum or impeller
- Perform a manufacturer-approved restart
- Keep notes on any recent power outages, filter changes, or installs before the visit
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
What not to attempt
- Do not open internal panels or access high-voltage components
- Do not bypass door locks, safety switches or interlocks
When to call a technician
Persistent F7E0 after one careful reset is a technician visit. Artisan Repair serves KitchenAid appliances as an independent repair shop.
Likely related component
drive or circulation motor
Frequently asked questions
Wash-motor related fault.
Clearing the display is not the same as fixing the cause. If F7E0 comes back, schedule diagnosis.
Platform families overlap, but Artisan Repair still confirms F7E0 against your serial family.
