What the Er:17 error code actually means

Your Thermador range is detecting a problem with a pressure sensor in its internal washer system. The sensor that monitors pressure has either stopped working or lost its connection to the control board. A technician will need to inspect the wiring and likely replace the sensor to clear this issue.

Questions people ask about Er:17

What does Er:17 mean on a Thermador range?
Er:17 indicates a pressure sensor failure in the WFR 2460 washer system of your Thermador range. The control board is not receiving a valid signal from the pressure sensor. This points to either a wiring fault in the sensor line or a failed sensor component. The unit will require inspection and likely a sensor replacement to resolve the error.
Will resetting my Thermador range clear the Er:17 code?
Resetting the range will not permanently clear Er:17 because the code is caused by a hardware fault in the pressure sensor circuit. The error will return as soon as the control board checks the sensor signal again. A physical inspection and repair or replacement of the faulty component is required to resolve it.
How much does it cost to repair Er:17 on a Thermador range?
Repair costs will vary depending on whether the issue is a wiring fault or a failed sensor. If only a connector or wiring repair is needed, costs are generally lower, typically in the range of $75 to $200 for a service call and labor. If the pressure sensor itself requires replacement, parts and labor combined could range from $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific component and your location.
Can I fix Er:17 on my Thermador range myself?
A knowledgeable DIYer can begin by visually inspecting the pressure sensor wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose terminals. However, if the sensor itself needs replacement, identifying the correct part and accessing the component may require disassembly and some technical experience. If you are not comfortable working with internal wiring and components, a qualified appliance technician is recommended.
Is it safe to use my Thermador range while Er:17 is displayed?
Er:17 relates to the pressure sensor in the WFR 2460 washer system, and continuing to operate the appliance with an active sensor fault is not recommended. Operating with a failed monitoring component can prevent the system from detecting abnormal conditions. It is best to have the fault diagnosed and repaired before resuming normal use.
