If Bosch Dishwasher is displaying an error code E16 / E17, what does it mean?
Error code E16 / E17 on a Bosch dishwasher indicates a water supply or filling system issue. This could be caused by a number of factors, such as a blocked inlet hose, a faulty inlet valve, or a problem with the water pressure.
Here are some steps you can take to fix the error code E16 / E17 on your Bosch dishwasher:
- Check the inlet hose. The inlet hose can become blocked with debris or sediment, which can prevent water from flowing into the dishwasher. To check the inlet hose, disconnect it from the dishwasher and inspect it for any blockages. If you find any blockages, clear them away and reconnect the hose.
- Check the inlet valve. The inlet valve is responsible for regulating the flow of water into the dishwasher. If the inlet valve is faulty, it may not be able to open or close properly, which can prevent water from flowing into the dishwasher. To check the inlet valve, you will need to use a multimeter to test its resistance. If the resistance is outside of the normal range, the inlet valve will need to be replaced.
- Check the water pressure. The water pressure in your home may be too low to supply the dishwasher with enough water. To check the water pressure, you will need to use a water pressure gauge. If the water pressure is below 20 psi, you will need to contact a plumber to increase the water pressure.
If you have checked all of the above and you are still getting error code E16 / E17, you may need to contact a Bosch technician for further assistance.
Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting error code E16 / E17 on a Bosch dishwasher:
- If the error code appears immediately after turning on the dishwasher, it may be a problem with the power supply. Try unplugging the dishwasher for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
- If the error code appears while the dishwasher is running, it may be a problem with the dishwasher itself. Try turning off the dishwasher and unplugging it from the power outlet for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and restart the dishwasher. If the error code persists, contact Bosch customer support.
