HMS 07FE-8000-0001-0001: Extruder Switching Abnormal

HMS 07FE-8000-0001-0001 means extruder switching is abnormal, and asks you to check whether the flow blocker is stuck or filament is jammed inside the toolhead. On a dual-extruder machine the switch is a physical movement, so a physical obstruction stops it.
Both named causes come down to the same thing: cold plastic somewhere it was never meant to set.
Where to buy
Clear the orifice before anything else
A nozzle cleaning kit with 0.4 mm needles is the first tool to reach for. Heat the hotend to printing temperature, push the needle through from below, and you will know within a minute whether the path is clear.
Get the welded debris off the block
Small brass brushes take purge residue off a hot block without scoring the metal the way a steel brush would. Brass is softer than the block, which is the entire reason it is the right material here.
Stop it welding on in the first place
A silicone sock over the heater block keeps purge from sticking to it, and the Bambu-series socks are sold in multi-packs because they are consumable. Fit the profile that matches your block rather than guessing.
Then switch by hand and watch
With the machine cool, move the switching mechanism through its range by hand. A hard stop you can feel is the obstruction; a switch that moves freely cold but fails hot points at the sensing side instead.
How HMS 07FE-8000-0001-0001 differs from a missed lever
A lever that moves but does not reach its target is HMS 07FE-8000-0002-0002. This code is the movement itself being blocked, which is a cleaning job rather than a motion one.
When the jam is in the melt zone
Filament stuck above the nozzle is the cold pull case in HMS 07FE-A000-0002-0001. Background is in dual nozzle printers and clearing a clogged nozzle.
HMS 07FE-8000-0001-0001 FAQ
What is the flow blocker?
The part that seals the idle extruder so it does not ooze.
Can I print with one extruder?
Not while switching fails. The machine needs both positions.
Hot or cold when I clean it?
Hot for the nozzle, cool for anything mechanical.
Why does it come back?
Purge keeps accumulating. A sock slows that down a lot.
Dust collects wherever filament moves. HMS 0700-9200-0001-0001 means the AMS heater cooling fan is blocked, and a drying chamber full of filament dust is exactly where a bearing gives up.
