F9 Fuse Open — Triac load fuse may be open

Whirlpool · Washing Machines

What does F9 Fuse Open mean?

The F9 fuse protects various triac-controlled loads in the dishwasher. If this fuse is open, multiple components may not function. This is often due to a short in one of the controlled components.

Common Causes

  • Open F9 fuse
  • Shorted triac load (e.g., fill valve, diverter)
  • Faulty control board
