Hi sory for disturbing but i have found you well informed about washing mashines codes. i have problem with my brandt. error code is D17 do you know what it is.
Change sensor of drum costs about 20euro
First post at year 2012
*******************
"sensor drum" or (better) "position sensor" (service manual code : 55X3607)

Problem : After three or more minutes the machine stops spining.
Solution : Check the service manual at page 12 & 13 and you will see a component (part 427) which has two little cords.
Disconnect and reconnect this plug two or three times in order the pins inside the plug to clear from the dirty. If you have you can spray it with some spray for electronics. After this power on your washing machine.
Update Oct 2015:
****************
The problem is on sensor's cable contacts (pins).
It seems that when the machine is working, the vibration "disconnects" the cable from the sensor.
I tried to clean contacts (pins) many times, but the problem reappeared after 2 or 3 weeks or months. So, I cut a little piece of sensor's plastic case to expose its contacts (pins) and solder directly the cable to sensor's contacts. This method solved the problem months ago.
If this does not work you have to replace the position sensor.
You can also use a window magnetic sensor from a house alarm.
Update No2:
I discover that the problem reappeared occasionally when my wife loaded too much of clothes (in kilos) into the washing machine.
I suspect that if the load of the clothes is heavier than the specs of the machine, the motor can not rotate fast enough the drum and the sensor does not read the correct rpms. So it throws the error.
So, before do any repair, test the machine with a smaller load of clothes.
Hope it helps!!
Update No3 Dec 2018:
****************
Problem reappeared. I undid the screw of the the sensor and put a thin washer under the sensor. I tight up the screw. I tested the wheel for easy spinning and not touching the sensor. By installing the washer, i managed to lower the space between the sensor and the magnet, which is on the wheel (a little cylindrical glued on wheel). I also cleaned the magnet from debris. I concluded that the debris on the magnet, insulate his properties and they do not allow him to attrack the plates of the sensor. Thus the sensor cannot not count the rotations and the Error D17 is appeared.
Update 2024 : D17 can be from worn carbon brushes.
Because motor doesn't receive enough power it can not rotate full circle. The sensor reads that the drum did not complete the full turn, so D17 appears.
You can test if the problem is from worn brushes by loading the drum with lesser clothes.

i have the same problem after 2 min working it stop's and d17 problem flashing in the screen
Hi, I'm also trying to repair all of my appliances by my self, becouse that's make happy.Anyway your problem and mine also can be solved by the way of mister bill.spyrakopoulos, "down under".He is correct, the position sensor, sometimes get dirty by many couses, such black powder from the carbon brushes, or the home dust,thus you must to clean the magnet which there is on the turning wheel for the belt, and then try to bent the small contact pins of the contactor block, also clean the inlet block of the sensor.Well i did all the above and i fix the code error d17.
Thanks a lot mister bill.spyrakopoulos
