Bosch Washing Machine E17 / F17 / F29 Error Code

Bosch Washing Machine E17 / F17 / F29 Error: The filters in the water connection or AquaStop hose are blocked, or water pressure is too low

When your Bosch washing machine shows a E17 / F17 / F29 error, it is indicating: The filters in the water connection or AquaStop hose are blocked, or water pressure is too low. This is a specific fault code the appliance's control board uses to flag a problem it has detected — it won't clear permanently by switching the power off and on, because the underlying condition that caused it still exists.

What To Check Before Calling a Technician

If filters are clean but the error persists, contact your plumber to check household water pressure, or a technician if the AquaStop valve itself is suspected faulty. If the E17 / F17 / F29 error persists after the checks above, a technician will be able to diagnose and fix it with the right tools — attempting to open the unit's panels or handle electrical components without training is not safe.
