Dishwasher shows E9; unit may stop during wash or rinse, sometimes with unusual noises from the pump area.

Safety first: Disconnect power and water before tipping or removing the dishwasher.

• Check for debris: Remove the lower rack and filters. Inspect the sump area for broken glass, bones, or plastic that could jam the diverter.
• Access diverter: From the bottom of the unit, locate the diverter motor attached to the sump. Remove the motor and inspect the diverter shaft for free movement.
• Clean and reassemble: Remove any debris, ensure the diverter rotates smoothly, and reinstall the motor, making sure the seal is properly seated.
• Test cycle: Run a short cycle and listen for normal spray pattern changes between upper and lower arms. If E9 returns, the diverter motor or sensor may need replacement.
• Technician recommended: Diverter and sump replacement can be complex and may require full removal of the dishwasher.
