Possible Causes

Corrupted control board firmware, voltage spike or surge damage, failed EEPROM chip on main board, loose control board connectors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the control board.

  • Power reset: Unplug the wine cooler for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then restore power. If E9 returns, continue.
  • Inspect wiring: Remove the rear or top panel to access the main control board. Check all harness connectors for secure fit and signs of heat damage.
  • Surge protection: If the error followed a storm or outage, consider using a surge protector once the unit is repaired.
  • Replace control board: If connections are good and E9 persists, replace the main control board with the correct GE part number for your model.

After replacement, reprogram any temperature settings and verify stable operation.
