Jenn-Air JDTSS244GP 24 in Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with 42 dBA, Third Rack, and Sensor Wash F9E1 Error Fix: Diverter Valve Error

Error code F9E1 on the Jenn-Air JDTSS244GP 24 in Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with 42 dBA, Third Rack, and Sensor Wash means: Diverter Valve Error. The diverter valve that directs water between upper and lower spray arms is not responding — some Jenn-Air dishwashers use a motorized diverter valve that alternates spray between the upper rack, lower rack, and middle rack (on TriFecta models with three-level wash); check the diverter motor and its wiring; the diverter motor is typically located in the sump/pump assembly area; a failed diverter means only one spray zone operates, resulting in poor cleaning of the other zones
