Dacor Range, Oven, Cooktop Error Code E9

On the Dacor DTF364SIWS, E9 specifically indicates an icemaker motor error. The control board has detected an open circuit, short circuit, or disconnected wiring in the icemaker motor circuit. This fault stops the icemaker from operating until the underlying issue is resolved.

The E9 error does not represent an immediate safety hazard in most cases. The control board halts icemaker operation when the fault is detected, preventing the motor from being driven in a failed state. The appliance's refrigeration functions are separate from the icemaker circuit and should continue to operate normally.

A power reset may temporarily clear the E9 error from the display, but the fault will return if the underlying motor circuit problem has not been corrected. Resetting without repairing the open circuit, short, or disconnected harness is not a lasting solution. Address the root cause first to permanently resolve the error.

Some causes of E9 are accessible to a knowledgeable DIYer, such as reseating a disconnected wiring harness or inspecting for visibly damaged wires. However, testing motor windings with a multimeter and replacing the icemaker motor or module requires comfort with basic electrical diagnostics. If you are unsure about working with appliance wiring, a qualified technician is recommended.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only a wire or connector needs attention, costs can be minimal, primarily covering a service call fee in the range of $75 to $150. If the icemaker motor or full icemaker module requires replacement, parts plus labor typically range from $150 to $400 or more depending on your location and the specific parts needed.
