Possible Causes

Child lock function engaged, Faulty door lock sensor, Control panel button stuck, PCB interpreting false lock signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
