Dishwasher shows E17, often associated with too much water or rapid filling

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

High water pressure, Sticking inlet valve, Faulty flow meter, Blocked pressure system

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap.

Reduce pressure: If household pressure is very high, partially close the tap feeding the dishwasher or install a pressure reducer.
Check inlet valve: With the machine off, observe whether water continues to enter. If so, the valve is leaking and must be replaced.
Clean pressure system: Remove filters and clean the sump and pressure hose to ensure accurate level detection.
Reset and test: After cleaning and adjustments, reconnect power and run a short cycle to see if E17 clears.
