Dishwasher won't start - I get an F7 message on my ADP5966

F7 - Flow meter failure
Water inlet valve (WVI) is switched on and water indicator (WI) is on (full).

• Flow meter (FM) sends too few impulses (less than 10 imp. in 10 sec.).
• Water tap closed during water inlet
• Water inlet hose blocked
• Water inlet valve (WV1) defective
• Flow meter (FM) defective

To erase the failures, you must push the start button longer than 1,5 seconds.

Most likely the door switch is not making proper contact when you shut the door or the Start button is faulty. Needs someone to look in the door panel to fix.

Hi girijyo,

F8 means you have a blockage in your drainage pipe, try cleaning all the filters and the drains, then closed it up, held the start button until it restarted. let us know if this works.

you have a water count problem
or a wv1 problem ist easy to solve

I had the same problem. Indicator flashing. F7 displayed. Nothing seems to work.
The following worked for me:
Remove the filter on the floor of the machine, including the metal grill.
Press & hold the start button (like you do when you want to cancel a programme). this will drain the water out of your clogged up drain outlet. Clean your filter and grill and replace it.

My guess is that the sensor in the drain (a little glass tube) measures whether the water going out is clean enough to decide that your dishes are now rinsed correctly. If your filter's clogged, the water going down the drain is still dirty. After a while it gets sick of trying and stops the machine.
F7 in whirlpoolese may mean "Clean my filter now or you can wash your own bloody dishes"

this is a fault code. it will flash so many times and then pause.
let me no how many flashes before the pause and i will tell you what fault code it is

just choose another programme setting and hold the start button in for a few seconds. this should solve the problem

just choose another prog setting and hold the start button in for a few seconds.
