Kenmore Dishwasher Error Code 9-1 or F9E1

How to fix Kenmore dishwasher error code 9-1 or F9E1

If your dishwasher is displaying the error code 9-1 or F9E1, it means that the electronic control board is having trouble detecting the position of the diverter disc. The diverter motor is responsible for positioning the disc that directs water through either the lower spray arm or the upper spray arm. Additionally, the diverter motor keeps track of the diverter disc’s position and sends signals to the electronic control board accordingly.

How to resolve the error code 9-1 or F9E1

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply to gain safe access to the internal components.
• Check the wiring connections to the motor for any signs of damage or looseness. Reconnect any loose wires securely, and if the wiring harness is damaged, consider replacing it.
• If the wiring appears to be intact but the motor is not sending position signals to the electronic control board, it may be defective. If this is the case, replace the diverter motor to restore proper functionality.
