What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F9E2 refers to a drain motor error.

F9E2 explained

Whirlpool’s help text lists a drain motor error as the potential cause of F9E2 on built-in dishwashers. Its troubleshooting is mostly about drainage problems an owner can look at.

What to look at, in order

  1. New installation: has the knockout plug come out of the garbage disposer?
  2. Does the disposer or the drain hold a clog?
  3. Is the drain hose bent? Straighten it. A kink or blockage leads to poor drainage or no drain at all.
  4. Was the hose installed correctly, on the right side and inside of the frame?
  5. Last, cycle the power. A returning error means scheduling service.

Codes close to F9E2

Water that will not leave the tub is also the subject of F9E1. A different valve fault is FAE5 (F10E5), a diverter leak.
