7.88 -> Hi, I'm Mat.
9.24 -> Welcome to eSpares.
11.36 -> In this video, we're looking
at the error code F17
14.76 -> on a Bosch washing machine.
17.26 -> An error code is generated by
the main PCB when a fault is
21.38 -> detected on the machine to assist
in determining what has gone wrong.
26.08 -> Always work safely disconnect the
appliance before you start the repair.
39.04 -> This machine has a display
on the control panel which
42.66 -> shows the error code here.
45.5 -> F17 indicates the machine has not
filled correctly in the time allowed
50.54 -> by the electronics.
51.84 -> A good indicator of this is that
there is no water in the drawer.
56.76 -> The error code could indicate
a number of reasons as to why
60.34 -> the machine is not filling.
62.22 -> I'm going to take you through those
causes to determine the reason why.
66.2 -> Let's start with the inlet hose
at the back of the machine.
70.26 -> Make sure it is not kinked look
for any bends that might
74.48 -> stop the water from flowing
through the hose.
78.54 -> Turn your water off and disconnect
the inlet hose from the machine end.
86.3 -> Put it into a container, turn the water
back on and you are expecting
90.08 -> a good flow of water.
95.48 -> If your waters not flowing through
the inlet hose then it is an issue
99.12 -> with your plumbing and not
the washing machine.
101.74 -> If all ok then the next thing we're
going to look at is the filter
105.2 -> inside the inlet valve at
the back of the machine.
109.54 -> This can block up which will
restrict the flow of water
112.78 -> causing it to time-out
resulting in an F17.
117 -> To take out the filter we
are using a pair of pliers
120.78 -> to pinch and remove.
125.14 -> Clean under a tap before
refitting and trying again.
132.72 -> The last one on our
checklist is the inlet valve.
135.76 -> We need to get access to the
inside by removing the top.
139.48 -> There are two Torx
screws to take out.
150.14 -> I can now push the top back to
remove it and lift it out the way.
158.5 -> Here are the electrical
connections going into the valve.
162.32 -> Pull the block out by
pushing back on the tab
165.88 -> and I'm going to show
you how to test it
167.3 -> with a multimeter to
determine if it has failed.
171.54 -> On your meter look for
the ohm scale here.
175.86 -> A good reading for the
inlet valve will be between
178.54 -> two to four thousand ohms.
181.14 -> So make sure you select
the correct scale.
183.28 -> Which on this meter is 20K, so
if you're looking for a reading
189.84 -> between two to four thousand
the 2K is not enough.
194.64 -> So it needs to go up to 20K.
197.3 -> On this valve, there are three
terminals you can see here
202.08 -> because it has a double valve.
204.22 -> Place the one probe on the
far-left terminal of the valve
208.34 -> with the other probe going to the
middle and then the end one.
215.9 -> Check the meter each time and
remember you're expecting
218.84 -> to see a reading of between 2 to 4K.
224.7 -> If you get no change in the
readings then it means
227.44 -> the valve is open circuit
and it needs replacing.
231.74 -> To release the valve start with these
two hoses that go to the inlet valve.
236.98 -> You can release the clips
with a pair of pliers.
246.46 -> To move the clip out the way and
then pull the hose off the inlet valve.
263.74 -> On the bottom of the valve there
is a tab that you need to insert a
266.8 -> flat blade screwdriver
underneath to release.
269.48 -> Then reach inside the machine to
push the valve down from the top
273.46 -> but do be careful as you may
need to manoeuver the screwdriver
276.48 -> to get the valve out.
286.22 -> Grab your new one, it has to be put
back into the machine at an angle
290.44 -> with the bottom going
in first and then push
292.88 -> the valve upwards to
slot into position.
295.78 -> Here you can see the ridge that goes
into the top of the machine here.
310.82 -> Just check it to make
sure it's fitted correctly.
315.56 -> Fit the hoses to the new valve
and then refit the Jubilee clips.
332.12 -> Refit the electrical connection
and then replace the top.
347.2 -> So there we have it, how
to fix an F17 error code
351.96 -> on a Bosch washing machine.
354.22 -> Give this video a thumbs
up if we've helped you
357 -> and subscribe for more
handy how-to videos.
