Possible Causes

Incorrectly installed reversible door hardware, Faulty door position sensor, Miswired door switch after service, Damaged harness in door area

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the door or wiring.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Verify door installation: If the door was recently reversed, compare its installation with the Vedette manual. Ensure all plugs and covers are in the correct positions and the correct switch is engaged.
  • Inspect door sensor: Some models use a magnetic or position sensor. Check that the magnet is present and aligned, and that the sensor is firmly mounted.
  • Check wiring: Look for pinched or damaged wires around the hinge area. Repair or replace as needed.
  • Reset error: After corrections, unplug for a few minutes, reconnect, and test.

Note: If E17 persists, the door sensor or control board input may be defective and require replacement.
