Dishwasher shows E09 and does not complete the drying phase; dishes come out wet and cold.

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing top or side panels where the drying system is located.

• Confirm symptom: Run a full program and check if the interior is warm at the end. If not, and E09 is displayed, suspect the drying system.
• Access drying unit: On models with turbo-drying, remove the top or side panel to reach the drying fan and heater assembly.
• Inspect fan and ducts: Check for lint, grease, or plastic blocking the air passages. Ensure the fan wheel spins freely.
• Test heater and sensor: Use a multimeter to measure resistance of the drying heater and NTC sensor. Replace any component that is open circuit or out of specification.
• Check wiring and connectors: Ensure all plugs are firmly seated and there are no burnt contacts.
• If components test OK: The main PCB may not be powering the drying circuit correctly. This usually requires professional repair or board replacement.
