How to Fix ER-07 OR ER-11 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Shut off electrical power and the main water supply to the dishwasher.

- Locate the drain valve, which is connected to the drain pump and drain hose at the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Place a shallow pan or towel underneath to catch any remaining water.
- Disconnect the wire harness from the drain valve and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Loosen the clamps securing the hoses to the valve and pull the hoses off.
