Possible Causes

Mains water pressure too high, Faulty flow meter misreading high flow, Inlet valve not closing quickly enough, Incorrect installation to high-pressure line without reducer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Close the water tap and unplug the dishwasher.

  • Check water pressure: If other taps in the house are extremely strong, you may have high mains pressure. Consider installing a pressure reducer on the dishwasher supply.
  • Partially close tap: As a temporary measure, slightly close the dishwasher tap to reduce flow and test a cycle.
  • Inspect flow meter: Access the water matrix and check the flow meter connector. If damaged, replace the water matrix/flow meter assembly.
  • Professional help: Persistent E17 despite normal pressure suggests a sensor or control fault that should be checked by a technician.
