If you are having issues with your KitchenAid product or if you encounter errors while using your home appliances, then you might encounter error code 7-1 on your device’s screen. If that happens, it can occur because there is an issue with your device or it can occur because your power supply is experiencing an issue. Sometimes, it is possible that common device errors or server problems cause this error.
Usually, you need to perform a few troubleshooting steps to fix this error.
First, start the service diagnostics cycle, and let it go all the way through it, just to reset it back to default.
The water must pass (get sprayed) over the heating element, which causes the water to become hot. When the wash motor isn't running, the water cannot be sprayed over the heating element to heat it, so error code 7-1 shows that the water is not heating.
Check to see that you are getting 120 volts to the wash motor when it is supposed to be running during the wash cycle. If it is possible to take the wire connector off the wash motor, and use your multimeter to see if the wash motor is getting 120 volts when it should be washing, if it is possible that it is not running, and if it is causing the wash motor to not run,
The final thing you can do is call customer service to get this error fixed. You can also contact them by calling their customer service number or by visiting their website.
