How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the main control board. Use a surge protector to protect electronics.
- Step 1 – Power reset: Unplug the appliance for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect. Observe if E9 returns.
- Step 2 – Check outlet: Verify the wall outlet voltage is within specification using a multimeter. Avoid using extension cords.
- Step 3 – Inspect main PCB: Access the main control board compartment. Look for burnt components, discoloration, or loose connectors.
