Hi, sorry to bring this question to life again but i,ve gone through everything that's been suggested. The flow meter has a reading of 0.5ohms before it starts allowing water, then increases to 110ohms. Are these readings expected? After about 5 seconds the programme switches over to rinse and just drains the system. At the underside of the filter is a white bullet type switch. Any idea what this is for, with it disconnected it's open circuit. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Stuart, You are going too deep into the fault by the sound of it.The machine has its own diagnosis and F7 is a failure of the flow meter.This is incorporated in the air break.You will have to replace the air break,the part no. is 481241868147 and approx £65 plus vat and postage. ring interspares on 01526322540.All the best.
