Possible Causes

Faulty inlet temperature sensor (if equipped), Miswired hot and cold hoses, Defective main control board reading sensor incorrectly, Loose sensor wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before working on hoses or sensors.

  • Verify hose connections: Ensure the hot water hose is connected to the hot inlet and the cold hose to the cold inlet on the back of the machine. Reverse if incorrect.
  • Check water temperature: Run hot and cold water at a nearby sink to confirm the household supply is correct.
  • Inspect inlet sensor (if present): Some Summit combos use a thermistor near the inlet valve. Remove the top panel, locate the sensor, and ensure its connector is secure and wires are intact.
  • Replace sensor: If the sensor is visibly damaged or tests out of range with a multimeter, replace it with the correct inlet water temperature sensor.

If E17 persists, the main control board may be misinterpreting sensor data and should be checked by a technician.
