How to Fix ER-07 OR ER-11 Error (Step-by-Step)

Turn off the power and shut off the water supply to the dishwasher.
Place towels under the front of the dishwasher and remove the lower front access panel (kick plate).
Locate the drain valve, which is typically near the drain pump and has hoses connected to it.
Use pliers to release the clamps on the hoses connected to the valve and slide them off. Be prepared for some residual water to spill out.
Disconnect the electrical wire connector from the drain valve and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the screws or release the tabs holding the old drain valve in place and install the new one.
Reconnect the hoses, wire connector, and re-install the access panel before turning the power and water back on to test.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
