Error codeF9 / E9
ApplianceDishDrawer Dishwasher
Quick answer
F9 is a wash controller electronics fault with no listed owner repair.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F9 / E9 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
An F9 on a DishDrawer points to the main electronics in each Fisher & Paykel document. The DD24/DD60 guide says “electronics malfunction” and tells you to call a service centre or Customer Care. The support article names the part more precisely as “wash controller electronics fault”. Either way, service is to be arranged. E9 is its Classic-panel pair.
What the owner can try
No reset is given for F9 specifically. The only thing worth attempting is the general method the user guide gives for faults on any code:
Press the button that stops the beeping.
Switch the DishDrawer off, wait a few seconds, and switch on.
If the code is displayed again, unplug the unit or switch it off at the power supply, and do not use it until it has been checked.
Service-only in the support article
The support article puts F9 on its list of codes needing a service technician, which runs from F4 to F9 and also includes FC. The reset is therefore a courtesy attempt and not a repair.

Write down what each drawer shows before you call.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
