Your Bosch WAT28400UC is showing E17.

On this Bosch washer, E17 means Water supply issue — washer filling too slowly or not at all. The steps below follow the field-service order for the WAT28400UC platform — not the generic Bosch E17 page. Cross-check part fit with WAT28400UC before ordering — use the model-specific parts diagram.
