What this code means
F9 E2
F9E2 means a drain motor error.
A Maytag dishwasher displaying F9E2 is reporting a drain motor error. The product help starts with the drain path rather than the motor.
Maytag’s troubleshooting order
- On a new installation, confirm that the garbage disposer knockout plug has been removed.
- Check the garbage disposer and the drain for clogs.
- Straighten the drain hose if it is kinked. A kinked or clogged hose can cause poor drainage or none at all.
- Verify the drain hose installation: routed correctly, on the correct side, inside the frame (new installation).
- Cycle power. If the error returns, schedule service.

F9 E1 is the long drain code, and F9E1 is the manual’s not-draining entry.
