Ok so I have a hisense washer dryer which works fine when just washing but when I put into a drying cycle it throws an f17 error which I’ve read means no water is getting to the condenser.... any ideas on how to fix it?

Hisense washer dryer F17 error on drying cycle
- The problem
- A Hisense washer dryer completes wash cycles normally but shows F17 only when a drying programme is selected. The user had read that F17 indicates no water reaching the condenser.
- Likely cause
- Most likely a failed solenoid supplying water to the condenser, or a blockage at the condenser water entry. Because washing and rinsing work normally, the fault is likely limited to the condenser water feed rather than the main water supply.
- What fixed it
- Check for a blockage where water enters the condenser. If the condenser feed solenoid has failed, replace it. If it is part of a double or triple water valve assembly, the whole valve assembly would most likely need replacing. The thread was marked solved, but no completed repair or final confirmation was posted.
- Checks to try
- Confirmed the machine washes and rinses normally
- Fault occurs only on the drying cycle with F17
- Check for blockage at the condenser water entry
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Condenser feed solenoid
- Double or triple water valve assembly
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi. If water is otherwise getting into the washing machine and it washes and rinses ok then it is likely to be the solenoid that supplies water into the condenser that's failed or a blockage inside the entry to the condenser. If the solenoid is a double or triple water valve you would most likely have to replace the whole thing.
