what do I need to check with this error message? I have tried running all wash programs and the machine sounds like it is starting, but then after a few seconds when the water should be coming in, the machine just beeps and shows the AL7 error message.

You could always look in the manual

Its not very helpful though.

Did a search for "electrolux AL7" - which YOU could have done and found these, which MAY be some help:
