Error codeF7 / F-7
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
F7 (F-7) on older Dacor EDW/IDW dishwashers is an EEPROM failure.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so F7 / F-7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
EEPROM failure.
F7 (F-7) on a Dacor EDW or IDW dishwasher is an EEPROM failure. The code appears on the 24-inch Epicure and Distinctive models, which are an older series.
Managing expectations
The manual lists the failure and nothing an owner can do about it. A technician can read the EEPROM version in the manual test mode (the Start step) and the software version (Sani Rinse), but that is diagnosis, not a home fix.
If F7 shows up
Turn the dishwasher off at the breaker. If it reappears after power is restored, arrange a visit.
Related codes
Look at F6 for controller / floor guard, and F8 for the data error between control and power boards. F9 is the WPS sensor label.
