Stuck or shorted keypad button

Power the range off for a few minutes, restore it, and watch whether F7 clears or a specific key still registers as pressed
Press each touch key in turn and note which one triggers the fault, since a single stuck membrane switch is the usual culprit
Disconnect the touch-panel ribbon at the control board — if the fault clears with it unplugged, the keypad is confirmed bad
Clean cooking grease and film from the control-glass edge before fitting a replacement panel, as residue re-shorts a new membrane
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On Thermador ranges the touch glass sits directly above the oven vent, so radiant heat during self-clean can delaminate the membrane and produce F7 — if the fault appears only after a clean cycle, replace the panel rather than the board.
