Hi Vic, thank you for your question. The F9 E0 error code means that there is an electrical issue in your appliance. It is recommended that you unplug the appliance for about 10 minutes to reset it. If the error continues then you should check your wiring for damage and if that is fine, you may need to replace your control board. Good luck with your repair.
