What causes it
Exact meaning varies significantly by model year — check your use & care guide, or call for an exact read.
What to check before calling
- ✓Power-cycle the dishwasher at the breaker for 1 minute.
- ✓Check your model number against the manufacturer's code chart — these vary a lot by year, so we recommend calling for an exact read.
What happens when you call us
If those checks don't clear the F1 – F9 (model-dependent) code, it's usually a sign of a failed part rather than something to keep resetting. A technician runs a full diagnostic on your dishwasher, confirms the cause, and quotes the repair before any work starts. The $89 service call is waived if you go ahead with the repair, and parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty on parts & labor.
