Symptom / Description

FAULT

Whirlpool 6th Sense PowerClean Pro & MaxiSpace Dishwasher: Flow sensor open circuit error E7; control board detects broken circuit to water flowmeter reed switch board.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On Whirlpool dishwashers: Corroded copper tracks or broken wire on 2-pin connector of the water matrix air break flowmeter PCB.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Inspect 2-pin wire harness between power board and flowmeter PCB. Check reed switch continuity while spinning turbine with magnet. Replace reed board. Hold Cancel/Drain button for 5 seconds until drain cycle begins, allow 60s for sump evacuation, then power off and on.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
  • !Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
  • !Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
  • Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
  • Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.
