Dishwasher displays E9 and may stop during drying; dishes remain wet and sometimes a burning smell is noticed previously.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the unit to cool. Do not continue using the dishwasher until the issue is resolved.

• Inspect control board: Remove the inner door panel to access the main control board. Look for burnt spots, melted relay cases, or darkened areas.
• Check heater circuit: Test the heating element for proper resistance and inspect wiring for signs of overheating or melting. Replace any damaged components.
• Replace control board if needed: If the heater tests good but the relay is visibly damaged or the board smells burnt, replace the control module with the correct Summit part number.
• Secure connections: Ensure all connectors are firmly seated and that strain reliefs are in place to prevent wire fatigue.
• Test run: After reassembly, run a full cycle and verify that heating and drying function correctly and that E9 does not reappear.
