How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and close the hot water supply valve before disconnecting hoses.
Steps:
- Verify hot supply: Run a nearby hot water faucet to ensure hot water is available at the home plumbing.
- Check hot valve: Confirm the hot shutoff valve feeding the Café combo is fully open.
- Clean hot inlet screen: Disconnect the hot hose at the back of the unit and clean the screen inside the hot water inlet valve.
- Inspect wiring: With power off, access the valve and check the hot solenoid coil connector for a secure fit.
When to call a technician: If code 17 persists and cold water works normally, the hot inlet valve coil may be defective and require replacement.
