Quick answer

F9E2 (9-2) on a Kenmore dishwasher: the diverter motor is stuck on because of a defective relay on the control board.

Model compatibility

Plain language

What this code means

F9E2 means the diverter motor is stuck on.

F9E2, or 9-2, reports that the diverter motor is stuck on. The manual traces this to a defective diverter relay on the electronic control board. It is listed for Kenmore HE and Elite HE models with a digital display (the Clean light flashes on models without one), the Global HE and the MicroClean HE.

The remedy given is to unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and replace the electronic control board, which is a job for a technician.
