Dishwasher shows E17 and may stop with little or no water in the tub.

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

Low household water pressure, Partially blocked inlet filter, Faulty flow meter reading too low, Kinked inlet hose

Safety first: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.

Check water pressure: Ensure the supply tap is fully open and that other taps have good flow. If pressure is low, consult a plumber.
Clean filters: Remove and clean the mesh filter at the tap end and any filter at the machine inlet.
Inspect hose routing: Make sure the Sharp inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the cabinet.
Test again: Restore power and run a quick cycle. If E17 persists, the flow meter or inlet valve may be faulty and require replacement.
