Thermador Range Error Code E:07

E:07 is a fault code associated with the Thermador WFMC washer platform indicating unexpected heating. The control system has detected that the heating element was active at a point in the cycle when it should be off. This points to a stuck heater relay, a faulty heating element, or a control board issue. The appliance stops operating to prevent overheating or damage.

No. The E:07 fault indicates the heating element may be running at unintended times, which poses a risk of overheating your laundry and potentially creating a fire hazard. You should stop using the washer and have it inspected before running another cycle.

A power reset may temporarily clear the fault display, but it will not resolve the underlying hardware problem. If the heater relay is stuck or the element is faulty, the fault will return as soon as the washer attempts to run a cycle. A proper repair of the defective component is required to permanently clear E:07.

Some steps, such as inspecting visible wiring for damage, can be done by a knowledgeable DIYer. However, diagnosing a stuck relay or testing the heating element properly requires a multimeter and comfort working with appliance electronics. Replacing the control board involves handling live voltage components, so many homeowners prefer to have a qualified technician complete the repair.

Repair costs vary depending on the failed component. A replacement heating element typically costs in the range of $30 to $80 for the part, while a control board replacement can range from $150 to $350 or more for the part alone. Adding professional labor, total repair costs commonly fall between $150 and $500 depending on which component requires replacement.
