F9E1 Error Code

Cycle Power

Much like a computer, resetting the dishwasher control can sometimes solve the issues you are experiencing. To reset the dishwasher control panel, it needs to be disconnected from the power source for one minute. If your dishwasher is plugged into an outlet, simply unplug it for one minute and then plug it back in. If the dishwasher is hard-wired to the power supply, turn the breaker off at the home electrical panel that powers the dishwasher for one minute and then turn the breaker back on.

Is the garbage disposer knockout plug removed?

If the dishwasher is connected to a garbage disposer, ensure that the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer's inlet.

Check out Connecting Dishwasher Drain to Garbage Disposal for more information on removing the garbage disposer knockout plug.

Are there any obstructions in the drain or garbage disposer?

Check for any food or obstructions caught in the drain or the garbage disposer. Run the disposer to clear the obstruction. 

Is the drain hose kinked? 

Verify the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. A kinked or clogged hose can cause poor drainage or no drainage. 

Is the drain hose installed correctly? 

Make sure it is routed correctly, on the correct side, inside of the frame 

Are excessive suds or bubbles present?

Dishwashing detergent does not create suds, but dish soap does.  If suds, bubbles, or soap foam are present when you open your dishwasher, turn off the dishwasher and allow suds to dissipate. Using the wrong type or too much detergent can cause over-sudsing.  The suds may push water out of the dishwasher, causing leaking or poor wash performance.  Use only detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers.  

Dishwashers should be cleaned approximately every 30 days for optimal performance. Using affresh®  Dishwasher Cleaner every month will help keep your dishwasher from filming and spotting and keep the interior clean and free of odors.
