I have a Maxx7 Washing Machine that is about 4/5 years old. A few months ago it started stopping during a wash with an F17 error. Pressing the start button the wash continues until the end. Then it started happening a few times a wash, bringing the temperature down to 20 from 40 degrees lower the number of times the F17 appeared but it is still very annoying. So after researching the error codes I checked the water inlets, not blockages, filters not blocked, water pressure seemed just fine. Replaced inlet valve, replaced pressure sensor and even changed the heating element (probably should not have listened to that advice). Anyway, none of it made any different. I have also put bi-carb and vingear in the machine to wash out as the water here is pretty hard. Now here is the weird part, when the machine is run empty and at 40 degrees it runs through the wash without issue. I have no idea where to go on this. Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers, Gary

Hi, I have a Bosch Exxcel washer/dryer. It seems to wash alright but when I use the dryer code F17 comes up. When I turn it off and open the door the clothes are very hot and a pool of very hot water is in the rubber at the front. Does it sound like the inlet valve (which is what code F17 seems to be) I don't want to buy one if I can't be sure.
