Dacor Refrigerator Error Code F9

The error code F9 on a Dacor refrigerator indicates a failure of the drain pump. The drain pump is responsible for removing water from the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle. If the drain pump fails, the water will not be able to drain properly and will eventually overflow into the refrigerator.

There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the error code F9:

1. Check the drain line for blockages. The drain line is a small hose that runs from the evaporator coil to the drain pan. If the drain line is blocked, the water will not be able to drain properly. To check the drain line, you can use a flashlight to look for any obstructions. You can also try to flush the drain line with water.
2. Check the drain pump for malfunction. If the drain pump is not working properly, it may need to be replaced. To check the drain pump, you can disconnect the power to the refrigerator and then use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the drain pump motor. If the resistance is too high or too low, the drain pump needs to be replaced.

DIY Repair

If you are comfortable working with electrical appliances, you can try to repair the error code F9 yourself. To do this, you will need to follow the steps below:

1. Disconnect the power to the refrigerator.
2. Locate the drain pump. The drain pump is typically located in the back of the refrigerator, near the evaporator coil.
3. Disconnect the power and water lines from the drain pump.
4. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the drain pump motor. If the resistance is too high or too low, the drain pump needs to be replaced.
5. If the drain pump is not damaged, you can try to flush the drain line with water. To do this, you can use a garden hose or a turkey baster.
6. Reconnect the power and water lines to the drain pump.
7. Turn on the power to the refrigerator.
