Possible Causes
Faulty main control board (PCB), Loose wiring harness connectors, Power surge damage, Faulty user interface board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the control panels.
- 1. Power reset: Disconnect the washer from mains for at least 5 minutes to discharge internal capacitors. Reconnect and try a short cycle. If E09 clears temporarily, suspect intermittent control issues.
- 2. Inspect main PCB connections: Remove the top cover and locate the main control module. Check all multi-pin connectors for secure fit and signs of overheating or corrosion.
- 3. Check user interface board: Remove the control panel fascia and inspect the display/control board for moisture damage or burnt components. Ensure the ribbon cable between UI and main PCB is fully seated.
- 4. Surge protection: If E09 appeared after a power outage or lightning, the PCB may be damaged. Replacement of the main control module with the correct Amica part number is usually required.
- 5. Professional diagnosis: Because control electronics are complex and miswiring can cause further damage, consider having a qualified technician confirm the fault before replacing boards.
