Bosch WGG244ABUS 2.4 cu ft 500 Series Smart Washer E17 Error Fix: Overfill Condition

The water level has exceeded the maximum permitted level. The drain pump will activate to bring the level down. Check the water inlet valve for a stuck-open condition. Check the pressure sensor/switch and its air hose. If the inlet valve does not close when power is removed, replace it immediately. This is a safety fault — the washer will not operate until the water level is brought to a safe range.
