After 3 engineer visits this things still fails to dry :rolleyes:

Visit #1 - Engineer cleared 3 handfulls of fluff out of sump and condenser
Visit #2 - Replaced pump
Visit #3 - Replaced valves

Still the bleeding thing won't dry and just brings up F17 error 2 minutes after starting the drying process.

It washes and spins fine.

If it was cheap I would, but it's as if it's crying out for me to buy a new one :mad:

Any washer experts out there suggest what else could be causing the problem?

BOSCH Exxcel WVD24520GB
 
You're meant to clean filters out after each use, and condensers, typically once a month. Shouldn't be much in there each month
 
F17 indicates a problem with the water intake - the dryer needs a constant supply of water to work and trips out if this is not detected.

Is it hot/cold fill or just cold only? If it's both, check that the water supply to both is running, esp. Remove the hoses, make sure there are no kinks, and check there is no scale blocking the mesh on the intakes.

The valves would usually be the most likely cause - did they replace all of the solenoids?

we don't have the room for 2 separate unfortunately :(


cold fill, the water supply is fine as it washes ok.

whole valve unit was replaced. I cannot see what else it could be, it happens at the same point at the drying process and finally starts drying after 4 or 5 attempts at turning the thing on and off.

I would see if you could get a replacement from Bosch/Company bought from/warrenty company as it would see after 3 visits its not been resolved.

They might not offer a replacement but worth an ask?
