Fagor Dishwasher Error F9

What is the situation with the problem of error code F9 affecting your Fagor dishwasher?

Do you have a Fagor brand dishwasher and the error code F9 has appeared on the screen? Well, you don't have much to worry about because today we're going to explain what this error means and what are the possible causes that trigger it, as well as how you can quickly and easily solve it.

The F9 error code in Fagor dishwashers indicates that there is a problem with the water distribution motor of the dishwasher. This motor is responsible for circulating water through the spray arms that clean the dishes and cutlery. If the motor fails, water does not reach all parts of the dishwasher properly and cleaning is not performed optimally.

This error code in your dishwasher can be due to several reasons that you need to know in order to find a solution, including the following:

• The motor is completely damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one.
• The motor is dirty or clogged with food debris, grease, or limescale that has accumulated with use.
• The contacts and connections of the motor are sulfated or corroded due to moisture and the passage of time.
• The sensor that detects the operation of the motor is defective or poorly calibrated.

All these causes are what can cause an F9 error code in your Fagor dishwasher. As you may have noticed, all the causes are related to the distribution motor, so the starting point is to begin by checking there. We have prepared a list of solutions for you to fix this problem.

How could we find a solution to error code F9 in Fagor dishwashers?

To find a solution to error code F9 and continue using your Fagor dishwasher normally, you can try the following solutions:

1. Turn off and disconnect the dishwasher to reset its sensors: This is a simple but effective solution for many dishwasher problems. Simply turn off the appliance from the power button or main switch and then disconnect it from the power outlet. Now wait a few minutes and reconnect and turn it on to verify that error code F9 has disappeared. This procedure resets the sensors and can clear any occasional errors that may have occurred due to a power supply failure.
2. Clean the water distribution motor with a damp cloth and a soft brush: Remove the spray arms and access the motor, which is usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher. Carefully clean any dirt residues that may be obstructing the motor or its openings. Reattach the spray arms and test the dishwasher to verify if error code F9 has completely disappeared.
3. Check the motor contacts and connections with a multimeter: Use a multimeter to check the motor and its components and connections. If you detect any faults or anomalies, such as excessively high or low resistance, or a lack of continuity, you can try cleaning the motor with an electronic cleaner or a specific product to remove corrosion, sulfate, and/or rust it may have.
4. Test the motor sensor with a multimeter: For this procedure, we will continue to use our multimeter and check that the sensor is working correctly. If you notice that the sensor is not functioning properly, it may send a wrong signal to the electronic board and trigger error code F9 on your dishwasher. You can try adjusting or calibrating the sensor following the instructions in your dishwasher manual. If, on the other hand, you realize that the sensor is broken or not working well at all, then you will need to replace it with a new one.
5. If the problem persists, please repeat or review everything mentioned above and follow the steps to the letter: It is possible that you may have missed some detail or not performed a check correctly.
