Possible Causes

Intermittent door switch, Loose door lock wiring, Misaligned door, Weak door hinge causing poor contact

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or accessing the door switch.

  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes evenly and the latch engages fully. Adjust hinges if the door sags.
  • Inspect door switch: Access the door switch assembly and check for loose mounting or damaged actuator. Tighten screws and replace if worn.
  • Secure wiring: Reseat the door switch connector and inspect the harness for breaks.
  • After adjustments, restore power and run a test cycle. If E17 recurs when the door is not touched, the switch or main PCB input may be faulty and require replacement.
