Machine shows E17; may be associated with abnormal pump noise or no water flow despite a full tank.

Safety first: Unplug the machine before removing the water tank.

Step-by-step checks:

• Fill tank completely: Fill the water tank to the maximum level and reinsert firmly.
• Prime via hot water: Plug in, then run a hot water cycle (if available) until a steady stream of water flows without sputtering.
• Repeat priming: If the pump is noisy and no water flows, stop, refill the tank, and repeat the hot water cycle several times to purge air.
• Check for leaks: Inspect under and around the machine for water that might indicate a loose intake connection.

When to call a technician: If E17 persists and the pump cannot prime, the pump or intake line may be faulty and require professional replacement.
