How to Fix Amana Dryer Error F9E2

Error Code: F9E2 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Drain assembly failure. This indicates that the float switch is in the full position and the pump has been on for more than 60 seconds.

How to Fix F9E2 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Disconnect the dryer from power before beginning any work and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Locate the drain pump assembly, which is usually at the bottom front of the dryer. You may need to remove a lower access panel.
3. Place towels and a shallow pan under the pump area to catch any water that may spill out.
4. Carefully disconnect the hoses attached to the pump and inspect the hoses and the pump’s inlet and outlet ports for any lint or debris that could cause a blockage.
5. Locate the float switch (W10903190) near the pump. Check to see if it moves freely up and down and is not stuck in the raised (full) position.
6. If no blockages are found and the float switch moves correctly, the drain pump (W11551760) has likely failed and is not removing water.
7. Replacing the drain pump assembly is recommended to resolve the issue.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
