What's Happening
The water level sensor detects insufficient water to complete the cycle. Unlike 4C (no water at all), 9E means some water entered but not enough. Flipped containers that filled with water during a previous cycle can also confuse the sensor.
How to Fix It
Empty the dishwasher completely, add fresh detergent, and start a Normal cycle. Check that the supply valve is fully open and no other appliances are drawing heavy water simultaneously. If the error keeps returning, the water inlet valve or pressure sensor may need service.
