What this code means
F9 E2
F9E2 means a drain motor error.
Start at the drain, not the motor
Maytag lists the potential cause as a drain motor error, yet its checks are about the drain path. If the dishwasher is newly installed, make sure the disposer knockout plug is out, and that the hose is routed on the correct side, inside the frame. Look for clogs in the disposer and the drain. Straighten any kinked hose, since kinks and clogs lead to poor or no drainage.
Then reset
Cycle the power. A returning error means it is time to schedule service.
