No verified model list is available for this code
A manufacturer code/support source may be available, but no exact supported model has been documented for this record. Do not treat the code as a model-specific diagnosis without checking the manual.
Verify the full model number against the manufacturer manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat does this code mean?
Bosch Turkey lists E16 and E17 as water inlet or filling system errors, not necessarily excessive pressure.
Source scope: Bosch Türkiye Always check your exact appliance manual.
This code and broad meaning appear in manufacturer support material. Applicability to your exact model is not yet proven. Confirm your full model designation in the official manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat can you try?
- 01
Record the exact code and when it appeared
Note every letter and digit, the stage of the cycle and the full model label. Error meanings can vary between models.
What the result means: This prevents applying guidance for a different model or a similar-looking code.
- 02
Check the home water supply
Open a nearby tap. If water is unavailable, resolve the supply issue before blaming the appliance. If water flows normally, check that the appliance inlet valve is open.
What the result means: No water at the tap suggests a home supply issue.
- 03
Inspect the inlet hose from outside
Check for bends, crushing and leaks. Do not pull a heavy appliance alone or loosen pressurized fittings during a cycle.
What the result means: A visible kink can explain restricted filling.
- 04
Clean an inlet screen only if the manual allows it
Some models have a user-serviceable inlet screen. Shut off water and power and follow your exact manual. Never disconnect a hose without instructions.
What the result means: There should be no leakage on reconnection; repeated errors need service.
- 05
Prepare precise notes for the technician
Provide the code, model number, stage of the program, sounds and any leak. Avoid opening a warranty-covered appliance or authorizing replacements without diagnosis.
What the result means: A technician can test components rather than guessing from the code.
Stop immediately for leaks, smoke, burning smell or electrical danger. For gas leaks, leave the area and call local emergency services.
How do you actually fix this?
Start with safe checks. Some codes have no safe home fix; in that case we explain what the professional repair actually involves.
Practical fixes you can try
- Open a nearby tap. If there is no water, wait for the home supply to return, then open the appliance supply valve fully.
- Inspect the visible inlet hose for sharp bends or crushing without dragging a heavy machine. Stop using it if the hose is damaged or leaking.
- If your exact manual permits user cleaning, isolate power and water and clean the inlet strainer as instructed. Do not undo pressurized fittings without directions.
If it persists, how is it actually repaired?
If filling remains slow, a technician measures inlet flow and valve control, clears a proven obstruction, or replaces a verified faulty inlet valve/flow component. A code alone does not justify replacing the valve.
How do you know it is fixed? Water should enter normally on a short cycle and the code should not return. Stop immediately for leaks.
Safety and warranty: Warranty terms depend on manufacturer, model and local law. Damage caused by unauthorised disassembly or improper repair may be excluded. Live electrical work, gas, refrigerant circuits and sealed cabinets require qualified professionals; this is not a DIY instruction for those tasks.
Evidence: The manufacturer link above supports the broad code meaning. The repair pathway is a general technical diagnostic explanation, not a confirmed failed-part diagnosis for every model.
