Hisense WDBL1014V Washer-dryer Error Code 17 solved

Peter

My wife and I are thrilled thanks to you and your post I have managed to fix it.
The sensor that you mentioned had tripped and gone open circuit .

I reset the sensor and run the dryer for half an hour and it all seems ok
Later today will will run it for longer but I’m sure it will be ok

Thanks also for the link to the photos in particular how to access the condenser to remove the fluff .

I owe you a couple of pints so if ever you are near Canterbury, Folkestone or Dover let me know.

Regards

Thank you so much for your very extensive reply .

I will certainly be following up your advice tonight and testing the heater element etc as you describe.

For the record, within a year of purchasing this machine around the end of 2019 just before the Covid restrictions we had a similar fault and had it repaired under warranty . The “engineers” came on numerous occasions and appeared to swap components willy nilly including the control panel . On one of these visits they actually broke the front panel .

It has worked until now then this issue re emerged . To give the local independent guy credit he came twice and change a few bits but threw in the towel .
I considered using the company Hisense provides links to but having read the small print a visit appeared to cost circa £200 with no guarantee of solving the problem unless you paid more for parts .Plus you would be tied to some form of insurance costing nearly £10 per month. At that rate you may as well buy a new machine.

I will keep you posted on how I get on

Thanks you so much for your help.

Did you ever get this error resolved ?

We have the exact same machine eg Hisense WDBL 1014 VT washer dryer .

Ours displays F17 exactly 40 mins into the program then stops . I noticed that the drum is cold as are the cloths so I’m assuming that it never got up to temperature .

We had a local independent engineer clean out the condenser and he told my wife he replaced the inlet valve you describe but the machine is still faulty.
Ill seeif I can get the part number for you .
