Dishwasher shows E17; may indicate a problem with the door or safety interlock, preventing operation.

Safety first: Ensure the dishwasher is idle before changing settings.

• Disable child lock: On many Midea models, press and hold the designated key (often "Heated Dry" or a lock icon) for 3–5 seconds to toggle the child lock off. Refer to your user manual.
• Check buttons: Inspect the control panel for stuck or unresponsive buttons. Clean around the keys with a slightly damp cloth.
• Door lock check: Confirm the door closes and latches properly. If E17 persists with proper closure, the door lock sensor may be faulty.
• Reset control: Turn off power at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore and test. If the error remains, the control board or touch panel may need replacement.
