F7 summary
Meaning: EEPROM failure
Shown as F7 or F-7 on older 24-inch EDW and IDW dishwashers (Epicure, Distinctive)
Owner fix in the manual: none
Technician tools only
Manual test mode reports the EEPROM version at the Start step and the software version at Sani Rinse. These are diagnostic readouts, not something to act on at home.
In the meantime
Cut power to the dishwasher at the breaker. Should the code come back after power returns, schedule a service visit.
