How to Fix 9E2 Error

Measure wall outlet voltage with multimeter (should be 110-125V AC nominal).
Check for utility voltage spikes using recording voltmeter over 24 hours (common during grid switching).
Inspect noise filter DC96-00488A for bulging capacitors or burnt varistors (look for discoloration).
Test MOV (metal oxide varistor) resistance across L-N terminals (should read OL when cold; <100Ω indicates failure).
Replace noise filter assembly DC96-00488A if MOV shorted or filter damaged.
If filter tests good but error immediate on power-up: replace main PCB DC92-01543A.
Consider whole-house surge protector installation for recurring high-voltage events.
