Gorenje washing machine E7 / E7.2 error
ErrorE7 / E7.2
Gorenje uses E7 and E7.2 for a water-draining error. The official procedure covers the pump filter, drain hose, drain, and pump impeller.
What the code means
The washing machine cannot drain water normally
Unplug the washer and let hot water cool before opening the pump filter. Use towels and gloves because residual water and sharp objects may be present.
Typical symptoms
01E7 or E7.2 appears during draining
02Water remains in the drum after the cycle stops
03The pump may run without removing the water
Likely causes
Start with the least invasive explanation and stop if the check requires internal electrical or sealed-system access.
01A blocked pump filter or pump area
02A kinked or blocked drain hose
03A blocked household drain or an impeller obstruction
Safe next steps
- 1Confirm E7 or E7.2 and record the model number
- 2Unplug the washer and allow hot water to cool
- 3Drain residual water using the model's pump-filter procedure
- 4Clean the pump filter and inspect the drain hose, wall drain, and pump impeller for obstruction
- 5Refit the filter, reconnect, and run one drain test; stop if the code returns
Step-by-step repair
- 1Remove only accessible lint, coins, or other obstructions and correct a visible hose kink. Refit the pump-filter parts exactly as the manual shows; a recurring E7/E7.2 needs service rather than a pump order based on the code alone.
