Dryer displays E17; the cycle may end prematurely with clothes still damp.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Incorrect moisture sensor readings, Software glitch, Faulty NTC or humidity sensor, Control board calibration fault.

Safety first: Always disconnect from the mains before performing internal checks.

Clean all sensors: Thoroughly clean the moisture sensor bars and the lint filter. Ensure the NTC sensor area is free of lint.
Run a reset: Some Hansa models allow a factory reset by holding specific buttons (refer to the user manual). Perform a reset if available.
Test with timed program: Run a purely timed drying program. If it completes normally, the issue is likely with sensor-based control rather than basic mechanics.

If E17 persists on sensor programs, the control board or sensors may require replacement and calibration by a service technician.
