Jenn-Air JDB9200CWS 24 in TriFecta Dishwasher with 44 dBA, Steam Clean, and WiFi Connectivity F8E4 Error Fix: Drain Pump Running Continuously

Error code F8E4 on the Jenn-Air JDB9200CWS 24 in TriFecta Dishwasher with 44 dBA, Steam Clean, and WiFi Connectivity means: Drain Pump Running Continuously. The drain pump is running continuously when it should not be — this typically indicates the float switch is stuck in the raised (flood-detect) position, or the control board relay that powers the drain pump is stuck closed; check the float switch for free movement (it should bob up and down easily); check for standing water in the base pan under the tub; if the float is free and no water is present in the base, the control board relay may need replacement (or the entire control board)

The most successful fix is "Test and Replace the Control Board Relay or Control Board" (hard difficulty, ~90 minutes). Estimated DIY cost: $10-$20. HomeMD has 2 community-ranked fixes for this error.
