Bosch washer dryer problem

Our washer keeps packing in at the drying stage saying F17 (it's fine during washing). The manual says check for a kinked hose but it's fine.

Any other ideas other than call up an expensive repair man

Which model?

Kinked hose at a guess would be saying that it can't draw in / push out air properly - are all the air filters clean?

BOSCH Exxcel WVD24520GB

It seems to wash fine so I figured it can't be a kinked hose, but maybe i'm wrong?

I've unscrewed the drainage screw at the front and removed some fluff but the motorhead seems to be clear now.

Turn it to a normal wash - does it let water in? Is the water slow running?

Google results seem to say in could be low/no incoming water pressure.

It washes, spins ok but the error only ever occurs when it drys.
