How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply immediately if a leak is suspected.
- Check for visible leaks: Look around the front door, dispenser drawer, and under the unit for water. Dry up any standing water.
- Inspect door gasket: Examine the rubber door boot for tears, holes, or mold damage. Replace if compromised.
- Access base pan: Carefully tilt the machine back (with assistance) and inspect the base pan for water. Many Haier combos have a float switch in the base that triggers E17 when water is present. Sponge out all water.
- Identify leak source: With panels removed and the unit unplugged, inspect internal hoses (drain hose from tub to pump, pump to outlet, dispenser to tub) for loose clamps or cracks. Tighten clamps and replace damaged hoses.
- Test operation: After drying the base and repairing leaks, run a short cycle while observing for drips.
- Call a technician: If the tub or pump housing is cracked, or if the leak source cannot be identified, professional service is recommended.
