Error code F9E2 (9-2)
Appliance Dishwasher
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

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F9E2 (9-2) may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

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.
