How to Fix E16 / E17 Error (Step-by-Step)
- For safety, switch off the power to the dishwasher at your home’s circuit breaker and close the water supply valve.
- Gently pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the water connections, typically on the left side.
- Locate the water inlet valve, which is where the main water supply hose connects to the appliance.
- Place a towel under the valve to catch any water, then disconnect the main supply hose, the internal dishwasher hose, and the electrical wire connectors.
- Unscrew the mounting bracket that holds the old valve in place and remove it.
- Install the new water inlet valve, making sure to securely reattach all hoses and electrical connections.
- Turn the water and power back on, then start a wash program to verify that the dishwasher fills correctly and there are no leaks.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
