How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F9E1

Error Code: F9E1 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Drain pump failure.

How to Fix F9E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from power at the circuit breaker and shut off the hot water supply valve under the sink.
2. Disconnect the water supply line and drain hose from the house plumbing. You may need to unscrew mounting brackets under the countertop before sliding the dishwasher out.
3. Carefully lay the dishwasher on its back on a soft towel to access the components underneath.
4. The drain pump (Part W10537869) is connected to the main sump. Place a shallow pan underneath to catch any remaining water.
5. Squeeze the hose clamps with pliers to disconnect the hoses from the pump. Unplug the electrical connector. Twist the pump, usually counter-clockwise, to release it from the sump.
6. Install the new pump by twisting it into the sump until it locks. Reconnect the electrical harness and the hoses, securing them with the clamps.
7. Tip the dishwasher upright, slide it back into place, reconnect water and drain lines, restore power, and run a drain cycle to check for leaks and proper function.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
