Jenn-Air JDB9200CWS 24 in TriFecta Dishwasher with 44 dBA, Steam Clean, and WiFi Connectivity MECH-08 Error Fix: Food Chopper / Disposer Jammed

Error code MECH-08 on the Jenn-Air JDB9200CWS 24 in TriFecta Dishwasher with 44 dBA, Steam Clean, and WiFi Connectivity means: Food Chopper / Disposer Jammed. On Jenn-Air TriFecta dishwashers and other models with a hard food disposer/chopper system, the chopper blade mechanism is jammed with hard objects — glass fragments, bone pieces, cherry pits, popcorn kernels, or broken dish shards can jam the blade; access the chopper under the lower filter assembly; carefully remove the obstruction (be cautious of sharp blade edges and broken glass); the chopper system reduces the need for pre-rinsing, but non-food items and very hard objects can jam it; always remove large food scraps and non-food items before loading
