Do-It-Yourself Story

My Bosch dishwasher was shutting off after about 3 minutes, with an E17 error code. Bosch says E17 means not enough water in the tub, and to check the supply hose for kinks. The internet had all kinds of conflicting answers. Appliance Parts Pros told me (correctly) that E17 means TOO MUCH water, and to check the water inlet valve, or possibly the power control module. Appliance Parts Pros was right. With the help of an insulation-piercing probe (cost $9) for my voltmeter, I found that the valve was sticking in the open position. I could see the water flowing through the big plastic water inlet, but it kept flowing for about half a minute too long, after the voltage to the valve was shut off. Without the voltmeter I was fooled because I could feel the valve shutting off, but I didn't know it was shutting off too late. Replacing the valve was a cheap and easy repair. The videos make it easy to replace almost any part. Thank you, Appliance Parts Pros!
