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 its power source by turning off the dedicated circuit breaker.
2. To access the drain pump, you will likely need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter. First, remove the bottom access panel, usually held by two screws.
3. Place towels on the floor, as some water will spill. Use pliers to loosen the clamp on the drain hose connected to the pump and disconnect it. Also, unplug the wire harness connected to the pump motor.
4. The pump is typically held in place by a few screws or a locking tab. Remove the screws or rotate the pump to unlock it from its housing.
5. Install the new drain pump, making sure any gaskets or seals are properly seated. Reconnect the drain hose and the electrical connector securely.
6. Carefully slide the dishwasher back into place, re-install the lower access panel, and restore power to test the new pump with a rinse cycle.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
