Error code F17 in the washing machine Indesit

We loaded the laundry into the drum of your assistant who is indispensable in everyday life, set the necessary mode, and instead of performing it, she does not respond and displays a malfunction on her screen F17.

Indesit units, in which the manufacturer does not provide a display, display a malfunction using a characteristic LED illumination, depending on its functionality and model:

• LED bulbs are constantly lit, indicating the functionality of the spinner and the extra rinse, or the spin and delay laundry LEDs blink.

Problem Value

F17 malfunction in Indesit units indicates that there was a problem with fixing or tight fit and closing the porthole. Notification of its closure does not work. The lock connection does not close (the tongue is not included in a special groove), and the software does not receive a signal to block the porthole.

Before calling the wizard, check for damage using the recommendations below.

How to fix such a breakdown without professional intervention

• Lack of contact notification from the door lock controller. You did not correctly close the porthole. The porthole lock controller did not work. Perhaps this is prevented by the presence of a foreign object in the groove from the door (a sock, a nylon product, children's tights, and other small things got in), or it just simply bit on the protective gum of the window itself. Check for foreign objects, eliminate them and close it again so that you hear a characteristic sound signal about closing in the form of a click.
• Outages, jumps in the network. The voltage in the network must correspond to the nominal 220 V, if it does not match, install a special device (voltage regulator) for the washing machine. Then your machine will work and you should not be afraid that any board in your unit may burn out from surges and the presence of very high voltage.
• Faulty lock connection. It is necessary to investigate the castle connection, it should not contain small foreign objects (coins, bolts, nuts, etc.) or accumulations of dirt. Remove detected items.
